Allow me to be in that group.
I had the pleasure of wasting $1 on this PoS last night out of sheer curiosity. First thing I noticed when I started the game was the artwork went all the way down the shooter lane... which means there was no shooter lane groove routed... which means the ball could be off center. Speaking off things not centered, I believe the plunger was too low as well. How do I know this? A full plunge would airball into the plastic over the entire lane and fail to make the long entrance into the orbit. It just came back down. Rinse and repeat.
A soft plunge wasn't hard enough. A full plunge would reject. Therefore you had to find the Goldilocks zone where it was hard enough to make it up, but not too hard to airball into the plastic above the shooter lane. So basically if you can get the ball in play you should be awarded a skill shot!!! Or at least the game should pause and ask if you now would like a refund.
Let's see, what else. *Squeak squeak squeak*. Flippers had no travel yet way too much power. Airballs off the center targets all day, rejects out of the factory saucer, and yet no good feel to hit all the side targets due to lack of flipper travel. The vari-target had the resistance of a wet noodle on a hot day, and the rest of the layout was a bore.
Someone mentioned above that these now may be $4400 USD. I can probably list 100 games I'd rather have for $4400, and some of those would be overpaying, but still would be a better deal.
