Quoted from Robertstone0407:

Just my opinion but the interface alone was enough for me to go ehhh maybe not a game for me. Plus i was hoping the use of videos like in batman 66. General rule of thumb. Dont buy a dwight game

Yup looking that way indeed!
Lyman all the way....

I sold my MUNLE before it turned up after playing one on location. Lame lame lame.
Still waiting for the code on Ghostbusters too from Dwight
whats it been 27months now?
Not going to be fooled again!

Quoted from Who-Dey:

There is no wizard mode on Munsters.

One of the reasons why Mun is a piece of pooooo
and those female pad's he calls targets.

Stick with Lyman and you will be guaranteed a great and completed code.
Dwight has had his last chance with me, such a disgrace especially with the GB code!

Quoted from Wotto:

LOL - I knew you would be first Who-Dey
Yeah mate - not feeling it - I tried and wanted to so bad - nearly lying to myself to 'make it so" - but I had to be real about it.

Quoted from Thunderbird:

Just sent this letter to Stern and I hope many more of you will also:
Dear_________,
I’m still wondering and I’m sure it’s a fairly big issue about Munsters code being considered shallow. Are there any plans to deepen (add show based modes) the code?
For location play, it’s fine, but for a home environment I know of a dozen or more people personally that won’t buy the table even though you’ve designed it so well to be a classic player. I’m concerned about that too. To have staying power in the home, we need plenty Munsters based series theme integrated video modes and not just be a “jackpot” coded focus, which is now.
Since Munsters is such a great theme and should be equal to Lyman’s effort coding Batman, what can we do to encourage Stern to have Dwight put more effort in making it more show mode based, with a deeper code set?
At such current day high prices, this will sell many more tables, as I’ve spoken to many friends that keep telling me that I shouldn’t buy or they won’t buy till code is deepened. They all wish to buy if the code improves. Do we have any hope that this will happen?
Again thanks for your awesome work on Munsters, it shoots like a dream, we just need code to match.
If enough of us write in about this issue and not just complain about it here, Stern will listen. Here’s hoping that many of you will join the campaign to make Munsters the future classic table it should become.
Cheers!

Good luck with your letter, Tho I bet you will not receive a reply.
Falls on deaf ears!

Quoted from iceman44:

The "already selling well" comment tells you all you need to know.
They sold the shit out of GB and almost 3 yrs later we are still waiting for a promised code update. Love that game too BUT....
I really like my Munsters pin as it is, it kicks my ass scoring wise like no other and its a solid F ing game.
That said, I've learned my lesson, yes finally, I will NEVER buy another Stern pinball machine unless Lyman Sheets is doing the code.
I don't care whatever the F they say or promise, that's it.
So you can send tons of email requests begging that Dwight and Stern makes Munsters better and deeper coded and i could care less if they ever do.
Bottom line, again, in the FUTURE, its only in "LYMAN WE TRUST".
So that means its possible that Elvira3 will be next for me. Makes it easy, Stern has done it to themselves.

Quoted from anathematize:

yikes! sometimes i wonder if i’m even living on the same planet as some of you folks.
in 2019 munsters is a c-tier license at best. maybe low b-tier if you are 45+ years of age. NOBODY cares about the freaking munsters in 2019.
blockbuster.... good lord man.

I dont know about you, but Munsters is a much better licence than shitzilla will be,
Only code will suffer sales for Munsters!

#1143 4 years ago

I really do hopy Munsters get a code update that can lift this title, It really does have Fantastic artwork, shoots smooth, nice mini playfield.
how much better would this have been if Llyman had coded it.

Quoted from snaroff:

It's not total bullshit. I like the license, bought the game. After 30 games, CPU died and I decided the gameplay was much too simplistic for me to justify keeping it. I've owned many games over the years and Munsters was by far my biggest NIB disappointment. From my perspective, the only standout is the artwork. Everything else "meh".
I respect that you love it, you should respect others don't!

Its like talking to a brick wall, I gave up in the end.

Quoted from Shapeshifter:

It's pretty obvious by now that whilst some love Munsters, it's never going to go down as a classic.
Not every game can be.
Stern sold out the 600 LE - job done.
Lets hope we never see the stupid mono targets again though.

I would really hope to see that Stern notices that they may have made a mistake with the code, and look at releasing a
heck of an update to lift not only sales for Stern, but earnings to opperators too.

Munsters could still be a classic, it has everything else going for it.
Fingers crossed, tho not sure George gomez or Gary Stern give 2 hoots tbh

I mean look how long GB has taken? nearly 30 months. Disgraceful

Quoted from vex:

How damaging is this to Dwights and Sterns reputation going forward if this game isn't improved? I like Munsters but knowing now what I have it would be a pass as there are better options out there. Lesson learned. Next Dwight game is a guaranteed pass. Lesson learned.

Hmmm, for me both Dwight and George G's reputation has fallen very fast.
George has also been talking BS regarding GB's code being worked on after Starwars etc.... nearly 30 months

Stern doesn't seem to care once they have sold what they need too, We are the fools continuing to purchase machines when presented with subpar code on release.
It's not like we are paying chicken feed these days for a bnib

Fingers crossed that Stern will deliver a much needed code update for Munsters, It has everything else going for it tbh.
some pinball distributions still have LE machines nib that they need to sell, only way is a code update from Stern to help that.
