Horrible game ... I would pass on one if it were only 500.00

I definitely wouldn't say it's a horrible game. The troll may be a little annoying, but it has some fun shots. Cool ramps, fun modes. I like the game, I don't care what anyone thinks. No home run or anything, but still a fun Lawlor pin.

I am not really a big fan of the game but it only really matters what you think. I would recommend playing it before purchase if at all possible.

I owned one for a while. The game has 2 huge problems.

1.) With the outlanes wide open, and the software set to extra hard, getting to the wizard mode was almost a given. That isn't necessarily horible except in this case there isn't a lot of other things to do.

2.) Scrambled eggs is a broken POS. It flat out doesn't work, I thought it was my game but the entire design of it is flawed. It will constantly reject shots.

Other more minor issues, the skill shot sucks because it's not worth going for, the game modes aren't particularly fun, the side by side ramp layout is horrible (if you miss one, it's okay, cause you'll probably hit the other), the troll voice is annoying.

Honestly, the game isn't bad for about 2 weeks, then once you learn to avoid scrambled eggs, and get to the wizard mode every single time it starts to get old fast.

I think in decen shape it's worth $1,600ish.

For $1K id buy it and play it for a while again. I can only think of a couple games that aren't fun short term, rct is not one of them. I think you are on the right track with a $1K offer.

I was pretty interested in this about 2 months ago - you may find a thread I started called 'Roller coaster vs Monopoly' or something like that. there is some good feedback there.

I looked at this game at the Pinball Warehouse in MN. I am a huge PL fan and was really interested in possibly picking this up. For me, playing it was a big let down though. Just my two cents. I had the same let down playing monopoly as well. Both are beautiful games but that doesn't make a good game IMO.

The troll voice isn't that big a deal. Out of all the things wrong with the game its probably #3 or #4. The other thing is, some people love the game. I say go for it, if you think you can get it for less than $1,200. That way you can make up your own mind and get your money back if you choose. Depending on your personal situation, newer Stents are out of a lot of peoples price ranges. For the right price, its a very low priced newer Stern if nothing else.
