Quoted from BC_Gambit:Does Elvira warrant a third pin? I can't see it myself.
I am in the group of people who honestly would be embarassed to have a SS in my collection at this point. I'm 35 years old, do I need to be afraid my mom might come over and start playing it and I'm in the room while Elvira's moaning away "I'm having multiple Jackpots" or whatever other juvenile crap that might come from the pin. "Riiiiide the bony beast...". I mean seriously.
Add in that I have a wife and 2 kids, and you have a non-starter for my collection.
I can see an Elvira + other theme where Elvira is a supporting character or announcer/storyteller being neat... but another sexual innuendo drenched pin is not terribly interesting to me. I'm all for a laugh... but how many times does a person have to hear the expression bony beast to find it less than funny?
Are there that many collectors like Beavis and Butthead?
"Bony Beast". Huh huh. Uh huh huh.
"He said Bony beast." Huh huh. Uh huh huh.
"Riiiiide the Bony Beast". There it is, he said it again. This game Rules! Huh huh. Uh huh huh.
Lather, rinse, repeat apparently forever...
SS is my wife's favorite machine, and I'm very sure that most of the adult jokes in SS are not understood by youngsters that are not thinking that direction too much already. (If so, does SS spoil them then?)
Furthermore, I wouldn't feel bad if my mom would enter my gameroom while I'm playing SS.
When I read your post I only feel more blessed than ever, not being (or feeling) judged so much.
(I'm 33 FYI)
Added to this, I would consider another Elvira machine for sure!
