Stern's New Website
Xiaou2:
heh. Your making up crap and excuses.
Ive walked up to licenses machines and Not added coins into them. In fact,
Ive never played a batman machine, ANY of them... and I LIKE Batman.
And games that I have walked up and played that ended up sucking... I never played again.
In fact, Ive put more money into non licensed games in my entire life than licensed games.
Its not about License anymore. Especially today! Its about great design, durability,
and high quality... all of which Stern Fail miserably for.
In the past, video games really gave pinball too much competition. Not to mention,
the video tended to actually Work 100%, unlike the broken pinball machine.
(the biggest reason for pinballs demise) But today? Theres NO competition out there.

Uhh, so a bunch of suits THOUGHT that it would be a good game. How many ops got
burned by a pile that nobody really wants to play more than once? And the home
buyers will refuse to take off their hands.

Sorry, But I liked Iron Man "AS A MOVIE". As a Pin, it didnt attract me at all. Just looking
at its generically boring and baron layout was bad enough.
--- Quote ---The Shrek redesign was not a cash in. It was an instance where operators complained that the game wasn't family friendly enough and Stern decided to offer an alternative theme to a great design. And yes, the design that Lawlor put together for that game is fantastic and the rules are very sophisticated.

It was a huge stink bomb. Anyone Op stupid enough to have bought one,
deserves the financial ruin they reaped.
All you are is a Fanboy. Your just as bad as the Pathetic suits who think they
know whats best for Pinball. All their excuses are attempts to justify their stupidity...
but the truth is right out in the open... Their ideas on how to run things isnt
working. Not because there is no interest in Pinball, but because the demand
for Their worthless generic crap, is LOW.

Gottlieb system 3!
Durability except the playfield finish. Sadly, they never went beyond lacquer and a mylar overlay.

I've played Class of 1812, StarGate and Freddy. I'm not a real big fan of gottlieb myself.
I personally like Williams/Bally WPC the best but I like a wide variety of games from different times and companies.
Jeff AMN:
Xiaou2 is good at randomly capitalizing and misspelling words, but he's never managed to randomly stumble onto anything remotely intelligent to say. It's sad, really.
Anybody who thinks that there's a demand for pinball these days is delusional. There hasn't been a true demand for pinball since the '90s.
