Quoted from Cobray:Honda 350R is the the Sally Struthers poster child for AC/DC being the #1 pin of all time! At least until he sells his. But until then, anyone who has an opinion to the contrary will be attacked! LMAO!
And I would take his bullying SO much more serious if he rode Harley's instead of beat up stroked out 250r's in the dirt with his cousins.
look guys, I was the strong advocate, supported by Jim. But I only chimed in because of the title of this thread.
Cool if someone doesn't like the machine. Don't matter to me. Everyone that I've played it with, alongside some of the top A games of all time, whether they know pinball or not, has been blown away by ACDC.
This evening I had a guy who has never played pinball in his life, except with me and my games over. He thought ACDC was a restored old pinball. He's played the games at my man cave a couple times. After playing the A listers, which he doesn't even know are A listers, he comments he can't think about leaving until playing ACDC. I ask him which of the twenty games in the room he likes best. He says to me I must be kidding. There's no question. It's ACDC.
Again, this is a guy who doesn't know pins, ratings, A listers, doesn't know ACDC just came out, but it leaves the best impression on him.
Frankly, I have a heck of a lot of money in old A list pins, restores, etc. I'd rather beat the drum to the idea that A list oldies are always better than new ones. Afterall, that supports the value of the games I've put so much money into.
But it just isn't the truth. Stern pulled together a great game, great toys, great lighting and and captivating gameplay. That's why the BIBLE is 9k now. That doesn't mean that certain individuals can't find reasons they don't care for it, or where Stern could have done something better. Not only do I find the game a stellar effort but dozens of others who have played pinball at my man cave find it among the top of all games also.
This isn't just new game infatuation. How many new games have Jim or I seen? Heck, I have a bunch of the new ones. And I like them. A lot. But ACDC is head and shoulders above the pack in term of the play time and rave comments I personally witness it receiving in my man cave, despite being compared to; Black AFM, Black SM, MB HE restore, CV restore, TOM, MM, CC, NGG, CV, POTC, BDK, TFLE, SS, STTNG, and others.
Anyone who wants to get disagree. But get off Jim's back. He's commenting on his preference despite his obvious infatuation with older pins. He's acting contrary to his financial interests in his effort to be objective. He's speaking from the heart, as he sees things, and I happen to agree. He shouldn't be made to wish he'd never voiced the strong preference.
