Yes, but with the electro-mechanical ones, the machine
makes noises and movements from deep down iside that tell you
there's something almost living in there.  The computerized
ones only have the few motion pulses from the playfield
targets.  And besides, I can't get used to a pinball
machine that makes bloopitty-blippitty noises rather
than sounding real bells and chimes.
