UK Skill only posts?

[Guest]

Hi,

I've moved recently and the only machine I can find locally is a
Terminator 3. It's got the UK skill only posts and I want to ask the
US RGPer's what they think of these posts (outlanes and centre + 2
extra flipper buttons).

Their only purpose is to make the games easier.

Actually, the purpose of the posts is to make the game a "game of skill"
otherwise the UK gaming board classifies pinball as a "game of chance"
and the tax levies are higher.

I would never own one, I think they detract from the overall appearance of
the finished game, I have played one and after getting used to it, I was
able to play the game a whole lot longer. If you are good enough you don't
need them learn to bump the machine the right way and make shots that don't
cause you to drain is a much better way to play than using the posts. The
posts are not going to help you be a better player on locations or other
peoples houses, how many can you own like that. If you want one for
amusement factor only then go for it.

For someone who doesn't normally play with them, they're about as useless
as WCS94's magna save. I guess if you played games with them all the time,
they'd start to be useful.
