Quoted from ralphwiggum:LOL... the thrill of the hunt had a whole new meaning that day....
I honestly did feel a little uneasy about that whole situation. It kinda had a pulp fiction gun store scene meets deliverance kinda vibe going on.
Junkyard. Was fun for a little while but got old real quick. Too many video modes and always the same.
Funhouse , Champion Pub , Family Guy , all got old real quick for me . Still fun games but not pinball at its best from my point of view . So many other fun pins to play so they had to go and quick too .

Can you please elaborate or post a link to the thread, if there is one? This sounds VERY interesting! For humor purposes, of course! 
Quoted from lpeters82:Another machine that I'm surprised has come up repeatedly is Funhouse.
Once I had it for a while, I was over it. It's a game that feels pretty limited when it comes to shots. There just isn't a feeling of a whole lot to do.

I've never owned one, so having it at home and playing the crap out of it isn't a luxury I've had. But I always liked the game when I did get a chance to play it. My kids don't really like Rudy, but I liked when he would spit out the ball and go "blahhhh", but I'm weird.
All pins made me go meh.. until AC/DC LE. Now I don't even think about buying games even at a killer price that I would usually jump on. Finally found the game I've been searching for,for the last 15 years. Metallica is my favorite band since I was 15,but still can't beat AC/DC LE.

I feel like that about Tron, but I agree AC/DC is one of the best Sterns in a long time. Btw, I'm not a fan of the band.

Ditch the creepy head and upgrade to Tron!
Lovers will hate, but that was my case with TZ. Bought a few mods and installed them as soon as it arrived. Spent 4 days trying to love it...6 days later, sold it for a loss. Spoiled by Tron, it was just too slow of play for me. Did like the theme and still do but not for me.
Quoted from jkroeck25:I've had a Stargate for about 2 months now that I'm not really enjoying. It's in good condition but will likely be for sale soon.
Do you know the ruleset yet? That should help. SG is a different beast (esp since the flips travel 15 degress more than B/W, but a great game. Give it more time and rebuild your flips if you can't make the ramp shots with normalcy.
Only one game really disappointed me after purchase and that was Gottlieb's 1973 "High Hand". 16 drop targets, wonderful backglass artwork, gameplay..... meh! Knock all the targets down and there is nothing to shoot for except the centre kickout; the targets don't reset at all during the game. Add-a-ball version would be better methinks.
Quoted from jfh:junkyard.
Funhouse (odd, because I live the theme and still want one)
Xenon
CV
Black Knight
Cactus Canyon (base code)
TZ
I don't see any of those games in your history.

My bad - I misread the title.
Of the ones I sold, only High Speed fits in this thread. F-14 is one I sold because my wife and I both went "meh", but now I regret doing so.

I almost made a mistake of buyign this machine in collector quality condition. It was a ton of money and in perfect condition. A fellow pinhead stepped in and told me about the "nothing to shoot for" after all the targets are down...Screw that. It quickly dropped off my pinball want list.

It's a damn shame. High Hand is a great game.. Up until that one moment.
Capt. Card is infinitely better for that reason.
