    Biggest letdowns have been some of Stern’s stock sound packages, like Pirates Batman, IJ and GOTG which would either have changed music, really poor voices or both. After Simpsons (a little repetitive but really really good) and LOTR (which I thought was perfect) they became really hit or miss thanks to the complexities of licensing I’d imagine. Williams would usually at least have decent impersonators. Thank goodness for Pinball Browser. I know someone worked really hard on those sounds and I’m sorry but I need that movie music and real voices please.

    Biggest surprise is The Shadow. I never gave it the time of day back in the 90s, just another pin with a bad license and a terrible translite. One showed up at league a couple years back and I finally played it and I LOVED that game. It’s still in league too... but now it’s at my house!
