Heh ... I would not have taken this for a Williams table. Who would have thought that such an older EM table could be so much fun? I'll park this right next to Bally's Fireball in my "virtual arcade". Thanks, JP, for doing these old gems from the past as well as the more modern state-of-the-art tables!
