1973 Bally Circus

A pinball machine is like sex and pizza. Even when it's bad, it's still pretty good.

what about a bally fun cruise? no flippers, you're expected to nudge off some big slings at the bottom. If someone actually likes this, there's been one on local CL forever at $150

Ro Go? How many have actually played it?

I had a Ro Go for a couple of weeks. Agreed it wasn't the best machine, but it lasted longer than a TOTAN would have. I wouldn't let one of those in the house.

Wow,

My comment reading these responses is to never invite this crowd over to play my games.

I have played my fair share of pins that didn't click but didn't log in many games (to determine yeah or nay) mostly at the pinabll expo's , barcade's etc.

Example first few times I played Ironman I didn't really like it then ended up playing more and bought it

Eh. My take-away from this thread is that a lot of different people like a lot of different games for a lot of different reasons. If you enjoy playing it, it's a good pin. And don't write one off just because someone else says they don't like it.

Most of the games listed are boring and the worst in pinball. The worst I have had that were listed RCT,SG,TEED-OFF, and RIPLEYS all are awful. I will add WCS94 - boring play after a week of shooting the goal over and over. I avoided the goal shot and just shot the ramps after awhile. 3 weeks it was gone thankfully. Also AP,NGG and HS2 were boring and not fun at all.

Even then it would probably make the Pizza taste bad.

There is no such thing as no bad games. It's like saying just because the NES is a video game system, every game was fun. There were so many that were soooooooooooooo shitty, it wasn't even funny. Pissed you the hell off too, if you paid $40-50 for the game to find out it's a dogshit piece of crap.

can't argue with that. Some are very entertained with those even on games that have no business having one.

Amongst more recent games I've played, it's pretty easy... Mustang is just bad.

Of course, I also own and love a couple of the games that have been tagged by others.

Boring is different than bad. South Park and Shaq Attack are bad, but I'm not sure they're boring.

From the videos I've seen, Big Juicy Mellons might be actually boring.

Hook and WH2O (I know I am in the minority)

Whitewater was the shortest game I have ever owned, bought it and sold it within a week. Bought it with every intention of shopping it out and making it a part of my collection, but the whole family hated it

Amazing how many BBH?? Have you guys ever even played that game or is it just the theme? It is a really good game and certainly anything but boring.

I love hunting and fishing. Don't go often, but I like doing it. Doesn't change the fact that the theme is the worst thing I've ever heard of. Sorry just doesn't do it for me. I'm gonna give it some more plays and report back, but I don't expect a high epiphany or anything.

Finally someone said CSI. There aren't many pins I don't like. But I bought csi because of theme for my wife and it was just straight bad. I own some other games people would consider boring like stern Indy but I actually really enjoy that game for mindless fun.
Everything about CSI was just dull and boring.
