Curious what folk think here. I have always thought that gameplay was sometimes sacrificed in an attempt to give "kerb appeal" by putting too many in. Quite a few mini playfields are pretty lame etc etc

I thought long and hard about this. Nearly went for 2 but a well integrated 3rd flipper really adds another dimension to a game. Spider-Man, STTNG, Fathom etc.
 
^^^ agreed, tron, Tommy etc. When you get into the 4 flippers it's probably mini pf time like Royal Rumble, poker tour and Popeye which are all also superb but more gimmicky that a straight 3 flipper single pf imho. Yes. Even Popeye. :D
 
Very difficult one to answer, at first I was going all De La Soul but then thought a little more. It's about the game not the number of flippers. Imagine Addams with only 3 flippers :eek: or only two on @stoptap holy Grail SM :eek::eek::eek: I don't mind how many flippers as long as it's a good game with good flow. That said an extra one just in the space between the two at the bottom would definately help me improve my game :clap:

Has my love of Spider-Man been noticed Graham ? :rofl:
 
4 if you have a mini playfield, but 3 is a good balance. Depends on the layout let's face it.
