I was the very first person to point out how bad a game Munsters is... I must have got 150 downvotes. What is the big deal with down votes its probably the dumbest thing I've ever seen on a forum anywhere. You give a license to babies to be just that babies.
Stern in general has struck out now three times in a row... Beatles - Munsters and now Black Knight.
Each game has something in common ... very basic, limited effort to do something new and original, and the code is just that bad. I friend of mine beat Black Knight the first 4 out 5 times he played it. Boom done beat it game 1 ever played, game over. Where are the toys, the detail, where is something original on Black Knight. Black knight pro will be selling for under $4000 within a year, and if anyone is dumb enough to waste your money on an LE OMG you'll take a major league bath when you ever try to sell it. I'm predicting Black Knight LE will sell for less than 6k within 12 months, looks like Munsters might be following that path.
A friend of mine just bought a Munsters LE with less than 100 plays for $6500.00. I also see Munster pros going for $4500 and the game has paint still drying.
Stern needs to stop using all these oldie but goodie pinball designers and bring in younger guys with pie in the sky idea's. Look at Iron Maiden everyone loves that game and the designer it was his first game. We need to have term limits on pinball designers! LOL
Munsters is a boring game its not original, not very much fun, and gets old quickly.
Black Knight is even WORSE!
I think Stern is now an automated factory churning out games as fast as they can. Stern needs to slow down, take their time and look for the new twist before they release another same old same old game. I'm done buying LE machines from Stern until it looks like they actually tried to give you your monies worth.
The real question people should be asking is this... are games made today more fun than games made in the 90's? There has been so many games released can you really do something different that we haven't see before? Is any pinball company actually trying to do something revolutionary with pinball? I think its time to really start thinking outside the box because there is enough pinball games out there right now that even if no one ever makes a new game, you could buy something new to you every week and it would take you years to get them all.
