Title: World Cup Soccer '94......GOAL!!!
Post by: smartbomb2084 on April 27, 2010, 07:59:37 am
Picked up one of these games. It's not my most favorite title but a WPC game is a WPC game and it's a good game because it is in good working condition. For me the button operated MAGNA-SAVE is useless.  I see no reason to try and incorporate it into my playing style.  The spinning soccer ball doesn't seem to be of much use either.  More of a gimmick to attract people.  It could use a new soccer ball though as it would make the game really pop visually. That Austalian guy wants $151.00 US for one.  Yeah right.    HA HA HA HA HA HA

I hate soccer with the fire of a thousand suns, but I like this game. I thought about buying one that came up in a WTB ad on CL I placed a while back, but the wife shot it down. I find it best to just show up with machines and not give her any input.

I thought about painting it... i'm lazy though.

replacing the motor on that ball was hard enough.

I just bought one too, and it's actually being delivered on Thursday. I got a new soccer ball and plastics set from IBP, but I believe it was their last plastics set. The ball feels extra grippy, so I'm excited to see how it performs.

How much did the ball cost you?

Wait a minute here.... 

There is a pinball machine made that you actually like?

 SAY IT AIN'T SO!

Jim likes plenty of machines, his tastes are just a bit more eccentric than most.

Never played Black Rose, but the other 4 certainly belong in the argument. I think Monopoly may be the worst one I've played lately.

ROLLERGAMES needs on that list.

I thought you were a serious NO FEAR hater.

5 Worst Games Ever:

5. NASCAR
4. WPT
3. Dirty Harry
2. Black Rose
1. Junkyard

Other than that, I generally like them.  There's some bad EMs, but most of them are so old that the antique charm keeps them off the list (but Darling sure is bucking for #6 on that list up there)

I like JunkYard...quite a bit, actually. Hands down the worst DMD game ever made in my eyes is South Park. One ball is all you need to hear every sound drop multiple times, see every mode, and experience every toy countless times. What a terrible, terrible game.

No Fear's pretty bad but I haven't played it enough to truly hate it.  Seriously queer theme, though.


Well, you can come play it next time you're here and really hate it, if you like.
