Quoted from schudel5:I'm glad I was able to bring my SC to Expo in Chicago several years ago (Rosemont location) so you could appreciate it. It may have to make another trip to Expo in the future.
Wow, it was playing your game, at that show (2002 or so, I think), that immediately motivated me to find one for myself. I thought it was too gimmicky (scaled down size, timed game, tokens rolling down the playfield glass, board game backglass, etc) to seriously consider adding it to the collection (I had never actually played it at this point). I was really impressed by the gameplay. It was fast (for a Lawlor title), had a bunch of great shots and played every bit like a full sized machine. The only downside was restoring that little beast once I located one. Don't let the smaller footprint fool anybody, that sucker weighs every bit as much as a standard game and the playfield is PACKED with heavy assemblies.
Fortunately, SC was not that highly regarded back then and reasonably priced examples (whatever that means ) were still around. Definitely great in a larger collection and a non-pinhead fan favorite. Will never let mine go.
Just want to add a big thanks to you and all the folks that bring games to these shows. I would guess that half my collection choices were based on playing experiences from my many trips to the Chicago Expo and Texas Pinball Festival.
