I had two Data East pins back in the day. SW and JP. I did miss out on a LW3 and certainly deserves to be on your list boys imo.

Good job boys! Makes me think more now on those sleepers. Lost World... Silly me, No I mean LW3 and Wonka. Sorry Greg!

Just watched the top 10 underrated pins, nice job guys very entertaining.
I just traded for a LW3 and I would agree with you guys. It’s a great game, great layout, fun rules, a lot more going on then people think. Getting into multiball and loading up the Uzi trying to fire the gun with 3 balls flying around, risk reward of going for a jackpot, double jackpot or quadruple jackpot, getting to super stunt spectacular, etc. I love that everything stacks, you can have super spinner lit, getaway lit and your uzi ready to load, just need the number 2 saucer to complete another stunt and you hit the saucer feed the left inlane to start getaway and hit that and super spinners and your uzi is firing, it’s just like Greg said Chaotic! But fun!
Tonight I was playing all my games and I was having almost as much fun playing LW3 as I was my Stern Jurassic Park. JP is the greatest game ever made so it can’t be AS fun, but for around 2k you can’t beat it!

ZMeny
wait , what no Gilligan's Island. Cmon man.
Love Gilligan

Genesis, Who Dunnit, Breakshot, Alien Poker, Torpedo Alley. All ugly, but fun.

I didn't know that The Beatles was underrated until I saw it's #82 ranking. That's downright stupid. Everything about that game screams fun, except the price.

Meh. Price doesn't help, but the software is underwhelming. I just can't get over the stills scrolling by from well-known beatles events when black and white video of the same event is widely available and would be much better. I could see having one for a while at $5k or less, and they're almost there for the golds, so...

I clicked on this thread after seeing the video and was like hmm 108 pages of underrated pins. I went back 10 pages and realized this is the STDM club thread. I just discovered the YouTube channel earlier this year and really like the high quality videos you put out. It's serously good for so few views a channel gets on YouTube, so I appreciate it more.

Getting back to chat about current video. I love underated chats/threads, etc. This is how I know what to buy for less money, but it's double edged because this also exposes good games. BTW, never heard of Sega Godzilla before this video. It looks amazing.

Hey, Bone, I'm rockn' a Baywatch at home. Looking forward to my next Sega/DE.

Finally ColorDMD for the Lost World, want a review on the color work.

I never cared for Stranger Things pin as the center shots and monster shots don’t thrill me and seem to be an inordinate amount of the game although I might not be playing correctly. However if that’s the case, I still fault it because if I’m not playing correctly the game should let me know that or have other fun/interesting areas of play.

I’d rather replace Stranger Things with RBION.

Still holding out hope, but those call outs are pretty fucking rough

Ya, wouldn't be hard to change to female voice at least

The music is good!

has anyone mentioned no Stairway yet??

oh wait.. everyone? OK

It looks excellent! The third flipper shot comes back a lot faster than I expected. Shots, combos, flow and great music!

You just did?

Looks like a good game for a casual player at a bar.

huh.

Third flipper on pro is as useful as a third belly button. Two is just fine.

Looks like a pinball machine that plays Led Zeppelin music to me

I still wish they used Austin Powers if they we going to do a fake brit voice.

OK, the ramps shots look all very smooth & fun and I like that the two left ones can be hit from either flipper.
But I don't really dig the music, callouts and what's going on the display.

take too long 'fore I found out
what people mean by down and out

I don't know but I've been told
"this big-legged pin ain't got no soul"

so: ramp, ramp, ramp, missed shot into the drops, maybe a loop / spinner then back to ramps?
Was really hoping for the best - nothing but disappointment.

Rough as well

Can you say wizard mode

Did someone confirm that? I didnt see anything on the pin that referenced it.

Be odd to me to have the wizard mode music be something that will put you to sleep until the end.

Dream on!

No, that's in aerosmith

Tim must have said 5 times something special and exciting happens, I think it’s a song. If not stairway maybe dazed and confused with light show.

What is significance of the? And from led zep 1.

And top of the charts?

Those are interesting inserts and can’t help my brain running wild.

Looks like a nice shooter, but I'm worried about how satisfying the mode/song shots are. I usually like it when a pin's modes have strong integration, and I like to have fun things happen when I make lit mode shots. It seems like on LZ the song continues either way, whether you make shots or not, and the only benefit to making mode shots is scoring and progress towards a wizard mode. Sorta makes it feel like one long multiball mode, regardless of the number of actual pinballs on the table. I just didn't see a lot of satisfaction from actually making lit mode shots. Still, that's just my initial impression.

What does the action button do?Or is it not coded in yet? Haven't seen anyone hit or mention it

Ehhhhhhhhhhhh.

I'm just not going to dig this game ever, am I? It looks like a fine shooter but as an actual game, it's too abstract. What am I supposed to be there for? What does making the shots actually accomplish? If you took the band trappings off the game, what would you have left? 'You're just not into the music' isn't an excuse, not when AC/DC had the band imagery and the songs BE the game, and you could know and like what it was doing even if the music wasn't to your taste.

Led Zeppelin is leaving me 'will this do' cold just like Stranger Things did, and for the same reasons - granted I don't know the show, but the game didn't CARE that I don't know the show and couldn't be arsed to tell me anything about it. This is not how you integrate a theme.

First glance, I see long skinny panels on the cab sides that seem to be covers. I'm thinking those side expression lights will be an add on available for pro owners to purchase. If this is already known, sorry. Haven't been keeping up with the LZ info.

Are you sure?

Yes. He saw right. The lighting system will be an accessory for the pro.

Cool

Dear God, that has got to be just about the most uninspiring pinball action I could imagine for a major license by a legendary designer. Not even considering dropping quarters on location. Pumping change into a parking meter might be more gratifying.

When starting a multiball, it feels weird that the song in the background never changes. I guess that’s just a part of the design, but they totally could’ve put some rock riffs and rhythms together to make the multiballs stand out at least a little.

I also think it’s criminal they took out the side ramp on the pro and replaced it with a lousy target. So lame for 6k.

Sounds like R2D2 is doing call outs.

Edit : Actually it's C3PO - got my droids mixed up.

Anyway these are not the calls your looking for.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAH IM CRYING!!! You are right and now it's all I will ever be able to hear, thanks you dick.

No it’s Margaret Thatcher’s nephew.

Id be surprised if they paid up for their biggest song only to leave it in a mode barely anyone would get to hear.

No, Del Preston is doing the call outs.

No idea, what else can possibly happen?

It’s a mode that doesn’t have Stairway in it? Haha

I wasn’t being sarcastic in my question, based on what we see what else can happen with code etc...?

Tim clearly thinks it’s special whatever it is or he wouldn’t have said it 5 times, just brainstorming.

There are two mini wizards and a final wizard, can’t all be repeat of what you’ve done can it?

Edit - I’ll also add that if you play through 50 minutes of rockin music and attain platinum on all records just to Replay everything again would be lame.

I’ll believe more songs are in the game when I see it. I hope you’re right.

Stairway To Heaven is also eight minutes long. Longer than most full games of pinball last. And if you've got it, then MY GOD you're going to have to justify using ALL of it.

It's going to be ultra-wizard mode material carried over for the rest of the game afterwards, or else it's nothing.

Could be a clips of music or a medley of clips.

I’m also wondering wtf the lockdown button is for?

Jack hasn’t used it once all night. It’s not there for shits and giggles.

I’ve said it before about music pins with bands that have long epic songs.

Make it a wizard mode where the ball save lasts the whole song. Give the player an insane objective path that ups the difficulty to complete everything in that time.

I’m sure I’m not alone when I say the final wizard mode shouldn’t really have any chance of being over quickly. That would ruin the whole path of getting there and make it too frustrating.

Might be just me.
