I think it's funny all of the people hating on WNBJM. Get a group of friends together and play some multiplayer games on it. It's one of the best 4 player games ever made. Simple but hard to master with good art, custom callouts, and all on the spike system. It's an absolute blast and when setup correctly is harder the GB or IM could ever imagine being.

I'll be happy to see any new Elvira game, apparently I will be the only one disappointed when it's not a throw back stile though.

I about pissed my pants laughing after I saw this statement from an owner of Barb Wire.

I strongly disagree but that's just my opinion. Just like you have your own different opinion.

I've played a lot of EM's but probably not nearly as many as you. Many are fun. But they do not play as fast and lively as WNBJM, they do not have call outs or dynamic sound packages, they are not as bright, they do not have a high score LCD, and they do not have early as much code as WNBJM. There's a lot more to getting a high score then keeping the ball alive. You can keep it alive for a long time and not score jack if you don't know what you are doing and you are not making shots.

I'll keep an eye out for some of those that you mentioned. Sounds like they are really good. The biggest problem I always have is there are not a lot of people with those types of games and often when you do see one it's from playing 100%. I've really enjoyed playing several different EM's at shows with some friends though.

Honestly if Nordman is not going to see this project through then it just needs to be scrapped. I'm not excited at all about another designer taking over the project even if they follow Nordman's design plans before he went to Deeproot.

Dennis, Greg, and Cassandra announced it at the end of last years TPF talk and even asked someone from stern if it was OK to tell everyone before they did. I forgot who they asked but that seemed pretty much announced to me.

If it's another super LE money grab and it doesn't have Dennis finishing the layout then I'm not really interested. I'll wait like I did on BM66 and see how it shakes out. If it turns out good I can always get a premium a couple of years after the launch. I'm not an Iron Maiden fan at all but it with Keith designing sounds more appealing at the moment.

Maybe a design was finished but the designer needs to be there to make tweaks and adjustments on the first prototype games and see things properly into the start of production if we hope to have anything as smooth and polished as Scared Stiff.

Dennis not working there is a very bad omen for this game in my opinion.

I like boobs, I like and own scared stiff. My wife likes scared stiff even more then I do. You had me at Elvira, Nordman, and Lyman. Anyone that is offended by a little sexuality needs to quit pretending they are a robot. I'm getting one even if it has chipping, pooling, node boards, etc and I'm going to play the hell out of it.

I'm sure stern is pretty worried that someone who isnt a customer is not going to be a customer. Maybe the sheep are busy playing pinball?

Was thinking the same thing. I like GOT and love the code but it is about as featureless as they come. Strange example to pick.

Your really reaching on this one. Fun game but the upper playfield is an ugly eye sore and doesnt integrate very well into the game. It also a whopping 1 ramp and 6 shots game. The ball lock is cool but is hardly a wowing feature, the dragon moves so slow and awkwardly, the throne is ok but a tiny fraction of the game. The battling ram is a constant sensitivity issue on most games. I do love the kick back and the full rgb lighting. But as far a good looking sculpted molds and interactive stuff, Elvira smokes GOT. Like I said, strange one to pick for comparison.

I wasn't aware it is a ton more expensive. My game quote was $300 more, I dont want to give away $300 but that's not really a big difference % wise. I'd guess using a contract designer and getting the custom speech cost a little more then most games. I'd also guess that it costs more because they know they can. Its Elvira with Lyman coding, people are going to buy it.

You should be able to get a nice HUO premium for a great price once gnr and Eddy's pin drops. People only have so much cash and so much space.

So some people love the game, some are meh on it, others are completely offended by it and post the same crap over and over. Seems like a normal release to me.
