Video modes IMHO seriously detract from the game of pinball. I gather
they were put in when still trying to compete or try to capture or re-
capture some of the industry taken over by the explosive growth and
appeal of video games and the home video game market. Pinball 2000
was the best shot. I found that, for the most part, video modes on a
PIN DMD are generally unplayable and just take time away from the game
of pinball itself.

I disagree, I love video modes. With all the new DMD games (Bally/
Williams and Stern) you stand there wacking at the ball for hours. Why
not take a break and play a video mode? On some of the deeper games
you can really get drained, the video modes are a nice break away.
Fish Tales is my favorite video mode. I wish Stern would put some in
their games.
