Re: 2010 Game Hint #2

So I have been pondering, and my mind keeps going back to Ladder Logic. I couldn't find any great photos of the field... anyone have any good ones on their websites? I remember it vividly, but its hard to describe. And its a good example of odd shaped fields for those who have never seen one 96-98 were odd fields, if I remember right 99 was the start of the rectangular size...

The reason I keep thinking back to this, is that I agree with the idea that the first hint could be some sort of ball track when it is flipped upside-down from how it is shown in the image.

Now if you look at the second hint, if we guess that this is just a typical field gate in the corner, but guess that it is showing that there are no corner structures like the last two years, that means the corners of the field are open from obstruction. (See my guess on the FOV in the attached image).

Then, somewhat like Ladder logic, you could have some sort of grid or high ball track structures that slant down to portions of the field, possibly from the centers of the player station walls... or maybe they go in an upward fashion? or maybe they go from the centers of the sides (more like rack & roll). The center could be a bin or a ramp or anything really, not sure we can tell anything about where the "ball tracks" might actually be/lead to.

I attached a crude drawing to show what I mean (fastest for me to draw in powerpoint).

I dunno... active imagination and flashbacks from too many past games!!
