Game Info: 4th game in the Parlor series, is a Pachinko sim.

Hhhhhmmm, Pachinko is a strange little game that Japan seems obsessed with. It doesn't have the fun and interaction of a pinball machine nor the addictive nature of a slot machine.
I have played Pachinko in a pachinko hall in Tokyo and I have to say I was confused???
Playing pachinko on SFC leaves me feeling the same way.
This one feels exactly the same as others I've played, it looks and sounds fine, but the gameplay is very lacking. (not a fault of this game, but of Pachinko itself)
The other problem I have with this release is why only ONE table?
If you like Pachinko (???) this does the job, but for most of us it's just too dull and confusing!!!
