Quoted from Jediturtle:As long as I'm on a rant that will tick off the haters, Data East made some damn fine games. Sega too. There...I said it
I'm a closet DE fan too. My wife actually looks for DE games to play when we go to the arcade. I have no issues with Stern but I also don't own one yet. I'd like to have a SM and TF this year but we'll see. I do have a BOP and Batman DE. Both feel the same to me. Only complaint I have with the DE is the playfield on my batman which apparently was an experiment. Still seems to be built well.
