No.
Best games that have been - or ever will be - made. The realities of the business and the collapse of the coin op industry mean we'll never see that kind of consistent quality or free expression of creativity on a mass scale In pinball again.
I never get sick of them and it's great when I get the rare chance to get into one I've never owned or played before.
Quoted from Baiter:The only 90's B/W I've owned is roadshow, but as much as I may like to play the likes of MM/AFM/SS/CV/CC, etc, the value never seemed to be there. In other words AFM is fun but not $8k fun when you can get SM for mid $4k. Is MM worth $8-12k when you can get LOTR for less than half the price? If the price ever equalizes out, maybe, but there are SO many other fun games for 1/2 or 1/3 of the price there's not the slight rush to take the plunge into what, to me, appear to be overpriced games.
Once you are talking about spending $6,000 for a game, you kinda lose the right to play the "Afm is overpriced!" Game. It's tough to say that mm at $8,000 is some kinda crazy price to pay for a pinball game and Lotr at $6500 isn't.
Somewhere there's an EM guy who thinks you are all idiots.
Quoted from jawjaw:I agree but not all B/W games are $8000+. You could easily reverse your argument. For the price of an AC/DC premium, you could get 2 or 3 great B/W pins like Shadow, Congo, WCS, FT, HS2, etc. Basically, there is a price point where all games get too expensive for most of us and thus "overpriced".
Fact.
"Stern games are too expensive!!! For the price of ONE Tron LE, I could get three or four classic B/W games!!!!!"
Like I said, once you are talking $4000-$8000, the whole "such and such is overpriced!!!" game is silly.
Somewhere there's an EM guy laughing at you.
