Is it me or have the mods for TZ suddenly gone crazy? Wow, a few months ago there were the traditional ones and a few above-and-beyond, now all of a sudden you have car mods, many lamp mods, a new rocket ship mod, and so forth.

... and what about that new Plasma Sphere mod. Looks cool but putting a giant glass ball in a pinball playfield - given the airballs. That seems crazy to me - would be a fine mess to clean up.

What do you uys think about this latest glass mod? Would anyone here entaertain doing such a thing?

I've seen the plasma spheres used as a topper on Monster Bash but I fail to understand the relevance in a TZ..

My guess is that the plasma sphere could be viewed as "The Power". But it is a little much! For me it is the idea of putting a fragile glass component close to the path of a heavy metal object. The cost is a little high as well.

Well in the game, the "Power" is an eye within a pyramid - it's on the backglass and on the mini-pf..  There's no ambiguity!!  I still fail to see the link with a plasma ball..  It's just someone out there calling it a TZ mod in order to make money but in reality it's a lame idea (IMHO)..

I think that this mod would fit great with the Cirqus Voltaire theme, as for the TZ, if it could be connected on "Power Ball" would'nt it be a great mod?

I just came across a Theatre of Magic plasma mod for the mirror.

It looks like it obscures the mirror though...
