Arcade Collecting > Pinball

Checked a few off the played list...

pbj:
I prefer offbeat games.  My biggest problem with most 90s stuff, particularly WMS, is that the games all play the same.  Some designers are truly awful - I personally called out Pat Lawlor on it and his defense was, "there's only so many layouts that work."  It's kind of a shame as Gottlieb did some interesting things in that era but some of those games could really benefit from the extra polish they would have gotten elsewhere.  And I really don't understand those collectors that have a line up of the fan layout.


To me - 1975 to 1985 is probably the sweet spot.  Good layouts, lots of theme variety, modern playfield hardware, no video modes, limited sound effects that aren't some "funny" quip from a lame movie repeated endlessly.

Find that new house yet?

I'd explain the reference but fear there is no need around here in nerdtown.

Why'd you say that twice?

Hercules has made an odd comeback.  I have seen two on location in the last 6 months.  Good playable ones with flippers that could hit that path shot.
