Lets also talk about Pin-Bot getting done dirty! I used to love that game as a kid.

First, Jeff fails to pay attention and know what to do when the ball is locked in multiball. You have to shoot the solar value by hitting the ramp on the left. He wasn't even trying to trap the ball on the right flipper to do that!

Second, as you progress by advancing the planets, you'll eventually update the board with new color schemes. I think there was also a point where enemies or some sort of gravity/magnet things starts happening. When I played, it wasn't about the score as much as seeing how far you could progress.

The devs actually took advantage of being a video game to tweak and play around with what is otherwise a static board. Jeff seemed entirely uninterested in the game and just wanted to compare it to the mechanical original. It's not a top 50 game but it's certainly better than his passing take.
