Lawlor Animal House pin? I'm in! 
If it's Lawlor, I gotta shrug a little. The last time Lawlor was considered 'epic' was when Stern introduced PLD and Monopoly. How's that one working for you? Actually Monopoly is not that bad, but it's not that great either.
Shrek. Personally, I like the game, but not 'epic'.
CSI. Never played it, can't comment, but they say little praise.
Family Guy. I like this one a tad more than Shrek, but not 'epic'.
NASCAR. Not bad. Not great.
Ripleys. Not bad. Not great.
Roller Coaster. Not bad. Not great.
Monopoly. Not bad. Not great.
No Good Gofers. Not bad. Not great.
Safecracker. Format not fair to say much.
Roadshow. Not bad. Not great.
Twilight Zone. Epic.
Addams Family. Epic.
Funhouse. Epic.
Whirlwind. Good.
Earthshaker. Good.
Banzai Run. I think it's epic, consensus is good.
What have you done for me lately? Not much. Hopefully if it is a PL announcement, JJP provides renewed energy and enthusiasm and Lawlor resumes his epic productions. The potential is there.

OMG YES

Ahh, but he did have a decent hand in the concept of pin2k, and that was and is today, epic.
Ripley's Believe it or not is a great pin too, and Nascar is a close great. The worst pin he ever made was RCT.
It's probably a 3rd LE of WOZ.
Quoted from Jetzxi:JJP's Midwest campus use to be in Pat's building they have since relocated.
Relocated to Area 51 , JJP's new pin will be a stealth bomber made with reverse engineering of alien technology .

Honesty, I have to agree with most of this (except I dislike Addams and label funhouse into the not bad category and dislike banzai run). Lawlor is probably decent for JJP style of games though. Lots of toys, not much flow - well his stern games and ngg had decent flow I guess. At first I was excited for a Lawlor game. But I have owned and sold all my Lawlor games so I think it turns out that I'm not much of a Lawlor fan after all.
I would have to put Shrek/fgy in the not good catagory. Same with Nascar, and monopoly. Roadshow is like a D+ game. RCT is a C-. CSI is a D-.
Earthshaker, TAF, TZ and FH are fantastic. BR is unique but gets old quickly once you own it. WW is good. Safecracker is ok for awhile. Better to play at someone elses house. RIBON is good. NGG is a D+
he's all over the map. But has gotten worse over time. Used to be my favorite when I first starting collecting.

i think you went too easy on the newer stuff (nascar, monopoly and RCT the same rating as NGG and Roadshow??!!?!?!? Blasphemer!
But your trend line is correct; he went from Epic to shitty.... and I'm a huge Lawlor fan- so that's painful to say.
Yeah, good point. If they were summoning the ghost of Nipsy Russell to design #3, that would be EPIC!!!
Lawlor is cool, at best.
and live cameras, where you can watch the goat in action 24/7. That would almost be worth a 7k game. But not really.
Quoted from CaptainNeo:That would almost be worth a 7k game. But not really.
Oh, well look at rich Uncle Moneypenny now. *Almost* ready to shell out $7K for a NIB game. All it takes is goat design. How Bourgeois.

They could make three LEs and each one would have one of the heads of the goat chopped off and thrown in the cabinet , and a special plaque written in the goats blood . 10k by Christmas .

That's the only way I would surpass my 6k limit. I'd go to 7k if a goat designed and put it together for me. That is the ONLY way I think a game should be worth 7k. ONLY way!
and for 8k, your out of your mind. no game is worth 8k, and I don't give a shit if it was designed and built by a platypus.

Alright ! It seems as though my 3 headed goat has some fans , It's too bad he will be sacrificed to build this "EPIC" game .
Quoted from Sparky:After the success of two classic books/movies, they will be announcing Where the Red Fern Grows!

Thankfully Keith is coding it, too - so no one will ever reach the wizard more. Because it is going to be suicidally sad.

Hopefully he will be like the talking goat from Adam Sandlers CD.
"He was fawking beating me loud huh! He was like, put up your dukes. but I don't have any dukes so there you have it."

Quoted from trilogybeer:The 3 headed goat is now under contract to design a game for Trilogybeer .
I'll look forward to your live video feed. Let me know when it goes up live. I'll be there.

With this pic. The more I look at it, makes me wonder if this is the work line at JJP and they get free labor from the retirement home down the street. No wonder they are slow at cranking out the games. The people he has building them are the same people going 10 under the limit in the left lane of the HWY.
HA ! HA ! I just noticed the screwdriver in the goat's mouth ! That is awesome , Here is another thumbs up for your "EPIC" thumbs up battle with Centerflank.
Sana'a
Quoted from Aurich:pinball-goat.jpg 97 KB
This goat cannot be a JJP employee. He is clearly confused, overwhelmed and awaiting the time when he can drop the screwdriver and hit the burrito blaster for some lunch.
Quoted from vid1900:Just in case it happens, don't touch its stinger.
A platypus has a stinger ? If that is true it will be the only bit of useful information to come from this thread . Thanks
Vid .
Ok, to qualify as 'epic' I think the next game, an unlicensed pin is done, finished. They will run 1000 games before production of the Hobbit.
The game will be in London, EAG, next week. Lawlor is the designer. Theme is some kind of haunted house.
Throwing even more wild speculation into the arena, Charlie who has something to do with JJP cabinets, threw a spanner into the works because he is not happy JJP's game clashes with his Ghost Squad and Zombie pin ( not even sure it is the same Charlie but fun speculating! )
