After my wife (girlfriend at the time) voted against buying a LOTR, I decided to set my sights on a 90's Bally or Williams instead. Couldn't put her finger on why she didn't like LOTR, but I think it was at least partially due to the artwork (compared to the hand-drawn cartoony look of our AFM & MB), and the way it feels 'darker' than the more lighthearted humor of most B/W stuff.

A Whitewater showed up on craigslist in Houston for a reasonable price, so I jumped on it, even though I really only knew it by reputation. Seemed worth the risk. I've ended up loving it. Unfortunately she hated it!

Until recently anyway -- there is a happy ending, as she came around on it after putting in some time playing it on Pinball Arcade.
