JERSEY JACK PINBALL

--- Quote from: Jeff AMN on May 11, 2011, 02:31:36 pm ---I'm all for more players in the game, but I'm starting to feel a little weary of Jersey Jack Pinball as well. They hype is getting out of hand, and it seems that they're shooting for the moon at every step. Unless this thing meets the hype, game #2 will be a tough sell. Heck, I'm more excited about Steve Ritchie's next game at Stern right now.

Man, Steve Ritchie... I have the same reaction to most of his games.
There's a brief "oh man, this is AWESOME" honeymoon period and then it turns into "there sure isn't a whole lot of game here..."
Just went through that transition with Firepower. Lights and sounds and a couple shots and that's about it.
ChadTower:
No way! We love our F-14! The lights are awesome! The couple of shots are amazing!
Aw, ---fudgesicle--- it, you're right. I barely even turn it on anymore.
Jeff AMN:
Oh, I agree about Steve Ritchie, but I'm just saying that he has more of a proven record at this point. In fact, I think Steve's best game is actually Spider-Man, which he admittedly designed as his version of AFM. But hey, if playfields are destined to become more and more sparse, you might as well have a designer that is obsessed with flow at the helm rather than one that likes to focus on one or two toys.

It looks like all you pinball monitor yahoos are getting your wish, in the backbox at least, not the playfield.
As this WIZARD OF OZ fiasco deepens, it has been reported that a 26 inch monitor will be gracing Dorothy's back glass.

Nothing says "pinball is still relevant" like a theme from the 1930s.
I bet I have more fun with my $500 beaters than qbert will have with this $7,500 boondoggle.
