Quoted from JoeJet:TSPP.. Zzzzzzzz
TSPP - is pretty bad IMO. I wanted it to be awesome. Had a mint HUO and literally would not finish 3ball games on it. Just turned it off out of complete boredom.
WWE - this is just horrible. Mini PF monster kills it. This is the definition of "NOT one more game"
TOM - beautiful game, but snoozer. I would play it though if I saw it.
There are some games from the 70's that are borderline unplayable, such as Darling/Jubilee, and several Bally's.
Bugs Bunny was probably the weakest SS game I can remember, pretty much see everything it has to offer in the first game you play.
I think Wrestlemania is going to hold the boring DMD title, if you are going to make a one trick pony machine, the trick needs to be really good
Chopping Wood.gifSouth Park
Interestingly this was the first modern pin I played and got me into pinball. My brother in law had one at his house and I had not played any pinball since the 80's so it was new to me that pins were even still around and that they had DMD so I enjoyed it at the time like 11 years ago. After that I bought my own pins T2 and BOP.
Now fast forward to last year. I've been playing pinball for 10+ years and I was at my Brother in laws house. He still has SP and I was bored so I figured even a bad pinball machine is better than nothing so I startted to play. See if there was something I'd missed maybe there was a reason why its supposed to be a good earner. But after a few plays I was really bored. My candidate for the pinball hall of shame.
Another vote for South Park. First time I played it I thought the game was over and was disappointed to find that I'd picked up an extra ball somewhere and had to keep playing.
I have to agree on Hercules, played on the Seaside NJ Boardwalk.
But snoozers from games I've owned, SWE1 is at the top.
Quoted from pinmanguy:This shocks me. RBION is one of my favourite games.
+1 Ripleys is my wife's favorite also
You did not say LOTR is boring did you?
Quoted from Guinnesstime:Elvis, Sopranos and WOZ.
Sopranos is the bomb!
Elvis & WOZ,
not so much...
Monopoly - What were the executives thinking during their planning meeting? The board game itself barely passes as a medium grade, sleepy rainy Saturday afternoon distraction. The actual pin is worse IMHO.
Avengers - I'm still angry at this game. It pickpocketed me out of 2.00 a couple years ago. If you see this pin around your town, please PM me so I can call law enforcement. Don't make eye contact with it.
Demolition Man - Do you suffer from insomnia from time to time? This might be a good investment.
Breakshot- really boring for a dmd pin.
Had it for a very short time. And the call outs were very annoying.
Quoted from pinmanguy:Avengers pro
another vote for Avengers. the worst playfield layout ive seen.
Quoted from JonH123:I am still new to the hobby and I don't understand all the stern hating.
It comes from Williams trolls who insist everything Williams did was gold. What they never seem to acknowledge is the shoddy quality of many of their pins (see Vid's posts for more on this), the fact that it was Williams who said FU to Pinball, and that many of their designers and programmers now work for Stern.
Quoted from chuckwurt:But the BBH theme is so dreadful i have no drive to get better
"Well ain't you just the tall hog at the trough?!" 
Quoted from ryan1234:Breakshot- really boring for a dmd pin.

You didn't have it long enough. BS is an EM on steroids. Don't consider it a DMD... if you're only into "DMD" games, this isn't for you, but if you like EM style play, this is it, just faster.
And yea, the callouts make fun of you when you lose. This is not a John Popadiuk game 
Quoted from lockednlit:Big buck hunter , however i do enjoy the arcade game
Really I can understand if you don't like it but it's not boring the humor alone makes it fun..
The games I have either wanted to, or did, walk away due to boredom are:
1) Circus Voltaire, Tacoma show 2013, the only reason I stuck it out was it was a gorgeous machine and I had waited in line to play it. First and only, so I didn't know the rules, but it was so damn easy to hit shot after shot I was praying for drains. Took. For. Ever.
2) Bad Cats, Oh. My. God.
3) Predator, Tacoma show early prototype. Never got a chance to play one later on in development. I wrote a lengthy review afterwards. Was set up to be easy, but after putting up billions of points my son was bored to death and I was actively trying to creat situations that would cause a drain.
4) Avengers, and, to make matters worse, it was on five ball. We left after ball three.
5) Jack Bot, used to like it, can't stand it now.
Pretty much any older SS or EM pin. I try to like them because they look cool and vintage but so slow and boring. Some of older SS make awful sounds and get really annoying.
For newer games, I really wanted to like DM but it disappointed. Artwork is bland, the handles are stupid, and the crane is not fun.
Quoted from Curtis_Playfield:Wait why hasn't anyone mentioned Ro Go?!
Because many haven't even heard about it, let alone played one unless they are 50 plus
Quoted from CaptainNeo:holy shit I couldn't get in here to say Xfiles fast enough.
Too funny, and I agree. Sega has a few real stinkers from that era. HD might even be more boring.
South Park. It is simply awful. Slow, to much PF showing. Stupid toys. Just awful. I was offered one for $1k couple years ago and had to say no!
Quoted from ledge:another vote for Avengers. the worst playfield layout ive seen.
I like the LE. It's a good playfield layout and refreshing that its not a left ramp right ramp toy in the middle fan game.
-c
p.s. i don't own one.
Threads like this should start out saying "DMD/SS" games.
Sure I've played a lot of EM's and some are great and some are really boring.....but "most" people in this hobby are familiar with the actual titles on DMD's and most SS's.....not EM's.
Ro Go? How many have actually played it? There are like 4000+ EM's that have been made.
Quoted from Curtis_Playfield:Wait why hasn't anyone mentioned Ro Go?!
100% agree on Ro Go. good to look at but nothing to shoot for.
-c
Quoted from Nullpunkt:Dale Earnhardt Jr. Waste of a perfectly good $0.50 that I could have plugged into the Playboy next to it.
Playboy sucks too.
There are so many pins I haven't played or played enough to judge , but I have to agree, Rolling Stones(2011), Hook, Bad Cats,and Family Guy. FG wasn't too bad but I hated the mini-game. It reminded me of the little plastic table top games we had as kids. Honorable mention goes out to all the early SS games that had no call outs but made an endless string of electronic noises. They aggrivate the heck out of me. I'll take EM bells over the "beeps & boops" any day.
Quoted from GravitaR:Because many haven't even heard about it, let alone played one unless they are 50 plus
I am a thirty six year old lady! And I've had the distinct misfortune of having to play several Ro Gos 
My other suggestion of El Toro probably won't do me any good here either haha.

I fully know your status CP. El Boro is true to it's name for sure. I'd nominate Derby Day.
Quoted from Dabcosr:The most boring game would be the one that does not power up.
You've apparently never played Bad Cats.
Quoted from navajas:4) Avengers, and, to make matters worse, it was on five ball. We left after ball three.
Yeah...is there anything worse than a boring machine set to 5 balls?
