well if it was a case that I could only buy pins from one of the 2 designers then SR but I like many PL games you should add an option for both and that will easily win the poll. PL will win this hands down due to the nature of most pinsiders.

Quoted from Adipocere:

Quoted from Ericpinballfan:

Sorry pinside. Ritchie is over-rated.
Banzai Run...mic drop.

Oh yeah because that game is overrated or anything.

Quoted from Rarehero:

I submit you are wrong. I like both styles equally.

I kinda agree, its more a case that I need both. If it was all smooth flow and fast then like anything it would get boring but which would would you take if u could have only one? I'm going speed and flow.

Quoted from FalconDriver:

PL drew me into the hobby for sure.

Yep. I don't know who did Hurricane but that and cyclone were the first ones in 1990 that started it all but Funhouse was that game that really hooked me, then AF. Oddly enough however the first pin where I really got into the theme and flow was Terminator 2. Really I don't care who designs it or codes it if its a fun pin I'm playing.

Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:

Just dropping in to say I’m a Gomez fan, not gonna lie

Why would you have to lie? hes made some great stuff. Heres the thing PL would never have made a BK3 style game and I'm not talking layout. Music and animations are Metal, darker theme with an edge and PL is more of Wonka type fella. From my observations we need both to satisfy the diverse demographic of pinheads. What I think is foolish and I've been guilty of it aswell which is why I now stay out of JJP pin threads or games where the theme is not my taste we get angry when a pin isn't our style. Wonka will never happen for me or WOZ or Mustang but if you dig it then cool. I'm flying high and babbling. Time to play some music.
