Joker Poker is good. But have you played Buck Rogers? Really nice layout with rules that are definitely deeper than anything that came before it. I'm biased since I own it, but I think the game utilizes the vari target in the best way.

Quoted from ForceFlow:

Hulk has gotten 40% more plays than any other game I've brought to shows, including WPC games.

Interesting data you've collected, Mr. Flow. I love oddball data like that. Do you run play counts on all the games you bring to shows? It'd be interesting to see historical trends of what's popular at the different venues.

Quoted from Frippertron:

but is it true the SS is a better player?

The only difference is the fact that the SS version has a 5x bonus multiplier, and the EM version has a double bonus multiplier to keep the scores down to fit on the reels. Otherwise, they're the same. DC coils and all.

If I recall correctly, the only EM conversion of a system 1 game that is identical to the SS counterpart is Cleopatra.
