I just traded away my Hook. It was an entertaining game, but after 2 years it was time to go. The funny thing is whenever we had friends/family over, the women & kids loved this machine. If you have room for this game in a larger collection, it's very decent to have. If it's only 1 or 2 machines in a small collection and you are budget minded, it a good one to have. If you have more expensive tastes, it's a pass.

The person who traded for it was very happy to have it, and so was his girlfriend. It went to people who wanted it.

Everyone has different pinball tastes, and sometimes budget dictates just how much taste you can have. I happen to like some of the D.E. & Premier/Gottlieb machines because I feel I can get alot of bang for the buck on a lower pinball budget.

To me pinball is like a bottle of wine. I don't care if the wine costs 10 bucks or 150 bucks, you either like it or you don't. Either way, if you drink the whole bottle, it will have the same effect.
