TMNT: the cartoons and arcade game is a fun enough blast from my past, but I never gave any consideration to experiencing it in a pinball machine; I can't explain it, but to me some themes just tend to inherently lend themselves to pinball adaptation, and this isn't one I would have thought of. However as it turns out it's a great well-balanced pinball game, with one of the best Pro models Stern has done in a long time.

Rick and Morty: I think TSPP and DE Simpsons are so much better than any other animated sitcom pins that followed that I have gradually learned to significantly lower my expectations of the genre, but Spooky definitely proved me wrong with this one!

Quoted from Lhyrgoif:

I have experienced the reverse. After reading the GOT books (still waiting for the last ones lol) and watching the movie adaption I was really looking forward to playing the pin. When I finally found one it turned out to be (for me) a total pos pos that I hated almost immediately. Boring layout, tight lane entrances, an upper playfield that hides like 50% of the pf, ugly dmd animations... crap on so many levels.

You are not alone, lol.

I was excited for the game, and when it became known that SR was the designer I got VERY hyped. Then I saw and played a Premium and was completely disappointed by all the issues you described. (I did like the all-RGB lighting though.)

I have since played a Pro a few times with up to date code, and it is a definite improvement but still mediocre overall.
