Limited Edition Run On New LOTR
ChadTower:
Family Guy relies entirely on the license. Without a 45 year old male niche license that game would be in the same list as Ripley's and WPT. It's not a very good game.
Jeff AMN:
As usual, you guys are in the minority when it comes to opinion on something... I am shocked!
I'm not saying anybody should be a sheep and just praise TSPP or FG/Shrek just because they're popular, but they are popular for a reason. FG can't just be relying on theme, because Shrek is just as highly regarded and it's just an art swap. I hate Family Guy the show, but the pin is excellent. TSPP is probably one of the deepest games ever made, and given enough time with it, it's pretty mind-blowing just how much is offered in that machine.
Jeff AMN:
Maybe from a sales standpoint, but definitely not from a player's opinion.
Somewhere along the line with Xiaou2's input and my white knight reaction the argument changed from being about sales to a mix of sales and quality of game. So yeah, basically the thread is a mess.
Aceldamor:
I personally would buy one if I got a guarantee the magnetic ring mode would last...the one in my local arcade keeps breaking. I love the pinball though.
Other Stern Titles that I would love to have would be:
Roller Coaster Tycoon
Austin Powers
Spider-Man
I Also was NOT a big fan of FG or Simpsons....themed wonderfully but played like poo.
Kinda OT, but I was really sad to see Monster Bash leave my local arcade....one of my all time favorites.

I would really like to play a fully working condition version of that game. Chuck-E-Cheese has one, but it is so horribly broken now that it is 100% unplayable. Back when it had issues but was mostly playable, I grew to like it. Normally I am not a fan of Lawlor's combo shots, but the lower left - to upper right flipper combo was pretty cool. I also liked idea of turning on the rides (ramps) just like in the game. It was a very clever rule set tied into the theme.
Long story short, I would take this one for my gameroom too.
