We've all seen it, many of us have played it (once probably). Why does it exist and why is it worth more......check that.....why is it worth anything at all?

889 were made. Personally that's 889 too many. It's not fun, it's not pretty, it's not "inventive" or even very "interesting". Some ideas are just bad.......clearly.

If I had been the head of Stern at the time I would have told the person(people) who presented the idea to me to "get the F out of my office.....Oh, and stay off the LSD!"

Now you can say "they were just trying to think outside the box". Or it was "an exercise of imagination ", but that doesn't make it a good idea. Think outside the box all you want......hell maybe even make a prototype; but how the heck did it get past the prototype stage?

Call me crazy but pinball must have a reasonable amount of skill involved to be interesting. Hell, even pre flipper machines had more skill involved just from the ball launch alone.

Just trying to figure out what anyone see's in it. (Came across a video review of it recently and that reminded me of playing it at the PHOF).

Now I know......still don't agree but hey....to each their own.

50 games aye? Of Orbitor 1.

I think I'd rather poke myself with a stick.

That's like saying "Battlefield Earth" is an f**ing awesome movie, end of story... if you don't get it, don't knock it.

Sorry, doesn't work that way. It's a bad movie....period. I'm sure there are some people out there who loved it. Doesn't make it a good movie and it certainly doesn't stop most people from knocking it.

Playing it gets old for me.....rather quickly. Using the terrain (so to speak) and spinning disks to simulate gravity wasn't genius....it was obvious.

I tried to give it fair chance. (I've played it more than a few times but certainly not 50) I love space/astronomy/sci-fi.....and pinball. This one just didn't cut it for me.

Yeah....I guess I wasn't really asking. More "curious" as to who and why anyone likes it. Maybe that was a bad idea. Then again, maybe not because it looks like this thread has introduced some people to the existence of it for the first time. That's never a bad thing. I'm generally a very open minded person. I gave (I feel like I gave) Orbitor 1 a chance.....didn't like it.

Like I said, there are people who liked Battlefield Earth.....I'll never get that either.

Ha, Ha

Meh.....I really have to stand by my OP (Hey different strokes for different folks right?). After seeing it again at PATZ it did absolutely nothing to change my mind.

Yes - I did learn a few thing from this thread.....and I now have a deeper understanding of the game.

None of it changed the fact that I personally don't like it. Someone could give me the nicest example in existence, and I would trade it the same week.
