Quoted from Xenon75:Steve unleashed at WMS brought you STTNG and No Fear which both easily had greater BOM's than even a JJP game when inflation is considered....
I think you're overestimating the price of the magnets on NF

Quoted from Eskaybee:While we wait in anticipation, let’s move things to a more positive light while staying on topic. One line answers.
What’s your favorite Steve Ritchie game?
Me: Game of Thrones
I LOVE SW...but HS is an all time classic in simplistic perfection. He's got a lot of good ones buuuut....
On the bottom for me is ACDC & the BK 1 & 2; not popular I know.
Quoted from Elvishasleft:Wish he would... the weakest thing about JJP is their game design.
God yes. I hear pissing and moaning aboot SR tired layouts; guess people enjoy Balcer's more? Uff
Quoted from Elvishasleft:is that who did the other games? I have no idea.
WOZ & Hobbit.
Quoted from metallik:Now I'm curious if Balcer is even going to do any more JJP games or if he's done, esp with this Ritchie rumor.
I guess he did Houmdini and Hot Wheels so he's 'Merican?
Quoted from John_I:The bad SR games are the ones that have the main feature torn out. SW pro has no Hyper ramp. BKSoR Pro no upper playfield. GoT Pro same thing. And so on...
Hyper ramp not bad, BKSor upper PF blah no thanks, GOT pro at least you can see whats going on
Quoted from John_I:BKSOR with no upper playfield is a joke. Good for tournaments or top tier players, but a joke in average home or location use.
Quoted from chuckwurt:Fast brutal games always have a spot in my house. I’ll never own BKSOR prem, but I’d love to have a pro for a while.
I had a lot of fun with the pro. Its not a world better by any means, but quick and fun. That upper PF for me was pretty lame. I understand without it its sort of not a BK game, but since I don't like them it was fine my me
My wife loved that game and I wouldn't call her a tournament player (she's horrible).
Good for them!
The more actual good designers the better for JJP, which first me rhey have always lacked.
Might be another JJP in my future
Quoted from Frax:What, exactly, has Steve ever added to pinball in that way? The claim to fame of innovations on a Ritchie game is flashers (Okay, those are pretty widely used), magnet accelerator chains (Um.... HS2, No Fear, and Star Wars.....all Ritchie games..), and.....uh.....a laser pointer with a splitter filter on it?
Dual level PFs, Magna Saves, Front-side Kick backs like Yagov?
Quoted from Concretehardt:Wow I guess the times of changed around here,...
I imagine there are far fewer active mods thes days than 3 years ago.
Quoted from chuckwurt:I think it’s a fine game but I hate how you work so hard to get to the end and the final mode can be over in 5 seconds. So frustrating. Also, each game pretty much feels the same. Not a lot of strategy involved. But it’s fast and brutal, so that makes up for it.
And the throwback MB is pretty bad; But it's a fun fast little game.
Quoted from Darscot:You must be fun at parties....
From Darscot! I mean, this is like the highest level classic post.
Quoted from bobukcat:Is that compared to "two dollar", "black tar heroin" or "crack" whores or just other pinball whores?
Just pinball.
Obviously they are worse than the 3 examples given though
Quoted from metallik:That didn't work out too well for Zaccaria...
Well, nothing did
Quoted from Doctor6:Better customer service? That's a face time meeting. Quit fucking around with telling people to buy washers and make it right when shit goes badly.
Totally. Just give people another shitty Mirco PF, simple!
Quoted from Beechwood:Everybody SUCKS!!!
Except SPOOKY. Spooky doesn't suck.
Their fucking website sucks bad; real bad
Quoted from Chuckwebster:I fully disagree that its boring and feel the game is a lot deeper than you're giving it credit for. Personally i love the way the game integrates the music and the fact that its a music pin that actually plays music the entire time you're at the machine. the great thing about pinball is there something for everyone. Obviously this game isn't for you. We can agree to disagree on it. Cheers
Do music pins not usually play music the whole time?
Quoted from Chuckwebster:LZ is on of first games to play a full uninterrupted songs.
It is?
My IMDN & MET played music the entire time; sadly.
Just thinking I believe kiss plays continuously & Aerosmith is a clone ao I ASSume that one sees too?
Or where those not full songs?
Quoted from CrazyLevi:....- got the idea that players like to plunge the ball into a bank of standup targets....
Hmmm...STNG? And at least that had awards to chose from.
Quoted from CrazyLevi:I literally have no idea what you are talking about !!!
Holt shit; smoke show and LEDs...Collectors Edition?!?
