You've got a good point Zonn. But have you ever seen a cabinet that's been
wired with controls for a bunch of different things? They tend to get ugly.
I find the idea of a spinner, thrust and fire very appealing unless it
turns out hard to play (which you point out may well be the case :-)
Anyway, minimal controls is very nice looking if it works.
