Well OP. It is simple. The last two game Cassandra allowed her name to be put on are both pretty good games.

EATPM is one of the better Sysytem-11 games with hurry-ups, MB jackpots and locked ball stealing you would expect with a game of that era. It also have a multi-ball kick off with one of the best light-show / organ music known. Definitely the best for its time.

SS is a bit easy but chock full of fun innuendo. Six easy to understand modes with hidden gems in the spider back-box. Fun, funny and generally cool.

Then there is your collection. Mostly crap and leaving you jealous of people who actually can appreciate and own good games. Maybe it is just lack of availability in your area. But someone who posts that they own SF2, Barb Wire and Gold Wings is going to put down Elvira owners? Wow, justify that crap fest. Seriously. "I HAVE PASSED ON A FREE GOLD WINGS BECAUSE IT WAS A 2 HOUR DRIVE" (1 each way).

Anyway. You do seem to be in the minority but you can have your wrong opinion. Have a nice day.

Quoted from Frax:

LOOK OUT FOLKS, IT'S THE GRAND OPINION ARBITER. BETTER CHECK YOURSELVES.

The thread was an opinion insulting those of us happy with the Elvira series of games, so I gave my opinion back.

Quoted from Frax:

EATPM is a terrible game. Just awful. It's one of my least favorite games of the era. It's not helped at all by the Bally flippers of the time, which are basically like a 30% penalty to awesomeness all on their own....I'd honestly rather buy a Cybernauts before EATPM. ....

Oh I see. You're the only one who should judge games. I guess you are the Grand Arbiter.

Quoted from Matesamo:

Quite the thread already, lol. I will drop in to say that I am not a huge fan of either Elvira machine but my wifes (33 years old) favorite table is Scarred Stiff to the point that we have SS magnets on the fridge. She did ask what Elvira was famous for, I remember the beer commercials from my youth but never watched her show. I do not think it was on here in New England.

It must have been on in New England because I used to watch it. I loved stupid "B" movie shows like Elvia, MST3K or the old USA Up All Night (Friday with Rhonda Shears and Saturday Gilbert Gottfried).

My high school had a student smoking lounge.

....and Star Trek and Star Wars also hasn't been done to death?

I was going to say the same thing. Each done 4 times?

Quoted from rammstein99:

...like another poster said, high res clips of the old shows/movies....

I don't think there are High-Res versions. I'll bet that stuff is pretty poor quality by today's standards.

Quoted from spfxted:

Because Scared Stiff is one of the greatest games ever made and we want MORE!

We know Ted. Why else would you have one in your current collection and in your wish-list

Quoted from CraigC:

I am a huge fan of campy horror and if E3 is done well and is a good game I'm in. SS has so many great lines and inside jokes that always keeps me coming back. "Bad head? You devil you!".
Humor is missing from pinball these days. Why so serious?

This is the reason the classics are still cherished. They had a feeling that pulls you in to love the games. Not cold and over calculated. It was enough to keep you interested but not so deep to make you board.
