Anybody like a particular game that gets trashed on rgp

Archived from groups: rec.games.pinball (More info?)

Actually, I own one that takes a beating on rgp (The Sopranos). I also
have MM, AFM, CV, and BSD.

I was at a mall (greater cleveland area) and noticed the "new" arcade
had three pins. Black Rose, Theatre of Magic, and Black Knight 2000.

I actually enjoyed playing Black Rose. I know this game takes a beating
from the group. Everything was in working order and I had a few quality
games. I found it fun.

I also enjoyed playing the Black Knight machine (except that one
doesn't get slammed) Theatre of Magic I used to own. Didn't get a
chance to play.

Anyone else enjoy playing some of the machines that get trashed on rgp?

At a local pizza joint, I played an X-Files for the first time, and I
actually enjoyed it. Didn't play it enough to see what the difference
in choosing the girl would have done, but it had alot of things to do
and was in pretty good shape, so I guess that had alot to do with it
too, Plus beer buzz makes almost any game interesting.

Roadshow!

I know it has fans here but generally "too linear" and "I hate country
music" are the popular quotes.

Everyone has different tastes.

I for one think MM is the most overrated game ever... but...

I'm a big fan of Rollergames, a game that a lot of folks don't like..

But, it's gaining followers!

I'll second being a big fan of RS. The best part about liking an
unpopular game is that it can always be found cheaper than a popular
game.

I have a Hurricane and love it. I also have a RS and Love it. And CP is
on my most wanted list.

I also enjoy the Data East games and people bash them all the time.
Tails of the Crypt, Star Wars, and Back to the Future are all enjoyable
machines that can be purchased at a reasonable price. I own a Hook;
most people who come to my house for the first time to play pinball
enjoy it the most.

Ditto! I like Junkyard too. I wish they were cheaper though.

What do you love about Hurricane? Also, did you play Cyclone before playing
Hurricane?

Cheaper than what? Rob could barely give his away with lots of spare parts
for $2000. How much did you pay?

I haven't bought one. I've seen them offered regularly for $2500+. It
just seems that a game few people like should be cheaper than Shadow or
White Water.

There are plenty of decent games that people don't like. None of them are
lost gems, and in the league with the big boys of popular games, but there
are some.

Johnny Mnemonic, for example, cool game.
Tommy Data East doesn't get respect it deserves.
Jurassic Park is a decent game, although almost a carbon copy of TAF layout.
Black Rose is really not that bad.
Never played Popeye, can't comment on it.
Congo is sort of decent.
Cue Ball wizard is very good for the money it sells for, a steal, so is
Stargate.
NBA Fastbreak is not a bad game at all, it has great flow and lots of shots.
Never played Champion Pub, can't comment on it.
Demolition Man is a great game, excellent, adrenaline rush and flow
Terminator 2 is simple, yet addicting, gets mixed feelings here
I played once Data East Time Machine and I thought it was decent, okay to
drop a few quarters in.
Etc and so on... Play them all if you can. That's why shows like Texas
Festival and Expo are good, actually not good, absolutely essential and
invaluable for someone who wants to sample as many as he can to make up
their mind. You get to play them all and see what you like and dislike, we
have all different tastes in things we like.

I like Junkyard too. Fun pin, . . I don't see why it gets the bad rap.

Glad to see some people rising to Black Rose's defense, a lot more
there than meets the eye. Another game that is actually quite fun but
gets hammered here is Streetfighter 2. One of the most enjoyable games
you will find, that probably won't set you back $1K

Me third for Hurricane.

I like it, my family likes it, my guests like it. Is it shallow? Yes.
But still fun to play.

Gilligan's Island and Royal Rumble. Ooooh, I feel so dirty. Don't own
either, but I've enjoyed playing them. If I had the room I might buy
one. Of course, I'd bring it through the back door. I'd be too
embarassed.

I have to stand up for Hurricane too!! I have always liked it and never
knew it was a "bad pin" (if there is such a thing) until I started reading
RGP.

How about this?? I like South Park too!!! And Monster Bash!!! Sure the
rules are a bit simple, but hey, I'm kinda dumb and I NEED simple rules!!

Before you all go trashing me, I like many of the timeless classics too
Buckaroo, Sing A Long, Slick Chick, Haunted House and Cyclone....and pretty
much all the others too!!!

It's PINBALL!!! Even a bad game is better than none at all!!!

Have a good day,

Jim

Do you have some form of hearing loss? Seriously, I'm trying to figure out
how you would have thought "rock rock rockin' rollergames" sounded anything
like fred kemper.


DON'T FRED! FRED!!

Hmm. Two pinball shows, 4500+ miles, Asking $1000.

WHERE were all of you "Hurricane lovers" then?

I'm not a big fan of medieval madness or pins like that. Almost my

I like Super Mario Bros. a lot. I plan on picking one up eventually.
I think it's great when a game I like is hated by the masses...it keeps
the price down.
