I have both sitting in my basement right now. Although Rocky & Bullwinkle isn't mine, I'm just a foster dad for a bit. As far a gameplay goes, I think they're equally fun. But Rocky & Bullwinkle takes the edge on theme and callouts. And if the R&B DMD ever goes out, it won't be a huge pain to try and replace it. I had to replace my large Baywatch DMD, and it involved buying the DMD Extender from across the pond, a laptop display and control board, and a Raspberry Pi. In any case, I doubt you'd be unhappy with either game, but Rocky & Bullwinkle is better.

I've played R&B quite a bit. The callouts/theme are fun. I own Baywatch because of the flow & gameplay. Baywatch by a mile.

i haven't played baywatch, but have a Rocky and Bullwinkle, and think it is a very underrated game. You can check out the R&B club page, and read some of the comments. I don't know if there is a Baywatch club, but i would check it out as well.

It really seems like I'm a huge BW fan, I'm not btw, but it's more the fact bad games keep getting put up against it in vs threads.

R&B is a typical DE around that time. It's simple & very very very very annoying. Unless you LOVE the show, the audio will drive you up the wall. It may be THE MOST annoying audio package...somehow more grating than DE Simpsons. Just typing this I have that horrible music stuck in my head...it's so wrong and this is really not even close. BW is 100x the game R&B is.

To me R&B feels more 89ish...sort of Sys11 type play and BW seems more DMD era....even though they are close in release date.
So maybe if you prefer one era more that might factor in. Anyway, good luck!

Baywatch is fantastic

I miss mine. Why in the F did I sell it? The money from that sale is still in my account & serves no purpose. I'm an idiot.

LOVE the end of ball animation. That girl is just getting pounded!

Hasselhoff call outs!?!?! Seriously that's good shit right there. He's like a pinball life coach "You did all you could"

The pop bumper sound effects. Awesome. The wire forms & ramps. Dope.

That reminds me... WTB mint underpriced BW near STL

Baywatch is great game. tons of shots

The biggest issue with R&B can be the "wrong hat" callouts. But if you replace the foam and adjust them, it fixes most of that issue. But i agree, it is a game where you have to really like the theme. But i think that is the same with most of these kind of games.

I've played both, bought R&B, and it still gets played regularly 2 years later.

Both are good in different ways. Want a "fun" theme that is enjoyable to play? Go r&b. It has a system 11 feel. Want a more serious shooters game? BW by a mile. I don't think you can go wrong either way. Pick your flavor. I like cartoony themes so r and b might have my vote.

Have to go with R&B, the only one sitting in my living room right now. Played both, was never a BW fan, so theme is what wins it for me.
Rocky and Bullwinkle is a lot of fun, it plays fast with orbit shots and some tricky "right back at ya!" shots from the bomb targets.
I like the fact that if you lose a ball in Multi-Ball, you can win it back with a hat trick completion
