    Same, it's a bit overdone but I don't think it's crazy bad

    Yeah looks fairly decent . Only problem with building Virtual tables is getting the nudge /tilt stuff right (basically everything I thought I knew about pinball as a kid was wrong , and your supposed to nudge the table a little left or right if you're about to lose the ball down the drain,(but not too hard or you'll cause it to tilt and you'll lose your game).I'm guessing the pedestal is where the PC would go?

    The base looks ridiculous. Reminds me of the stand you'd get on those moulded green plastic army men as a kid.

    Looks like they were building a medical scanner but had a hankering for pinball

    The base is awful yeah. I'd say it's to give the unit some horizontal stability, but ends up sticking out like a sore thumb

    Lol it does doesn't it. Totally agree.
    Its going to take up a lot of unnecessary real estate.
    Plus why the extra podium with the buttons?

    But... don't those virtual pinball displays only really work if you are looking overhead, or close to?
    I mean, not only will the perspective be all off, if the viewing angle is as usual you might only be able to see half of the play area anyway!

    I think people made some head tracking tech for this reason
