Low blow man...low blow!

I think by now everyone understands that sf2 isn't as good as the top rated games. The game is priced accordingly. Why shame people for owning it? Not everyone has the funds for multiple top rated games. Maybe we should go through everyone's collection that criticized this game and talk about how terrible some of their games are.

Sounds like a new thread idea. What are the worst games you own?

Here are the 3 I own that other people would pick on - Royal Flush Deluxe, Austin Powers and Popeye. I have personal reasons for liking them and having them in my collection. But I know what others think. The others I have are probably hard to pick on.

Fire!, baby pacman, and odds and evens suck!!

Wait! Is Popeye terrible?

Nope. And most people who give it a real try without listening to others realize it is an underrated game.

I said "other people would pick on".

That's a relief.

I am shameless! When one of you haters finds a sweet SF2 for real cheap, let me know. I won't charge you much to take it away

I haven't played this, but it looks fun. I loved Popeye as a kid and I love the world... best theme ever?

SF2 just listed for $1750 on pinside. It's for sale at $1750 not "take it from me and I'll pay you $1750" like it should be.

Right, I would charge way less than $1750 to help them get it out of their house.

guess he has all the time in the world to hang on to it.

I guess you never looked at the DMD when in the upper playfield. It is really simple. Rescue Swee Pea and there is a map on how to do it. There is a picture showing you doors available. There are three lights over the ramp for left, forward and right. And most of all

There is a map with an X on it.

Look - Shoot the middle to go straight 4 times and you win! Real hard.

There was a software bug in the first run of the software that did not give you the Rescue animation.

You win 50,000,000 - I half fixed the animated GIF so you can see the entire sequence. Sorry about the strange artifacts.

Sorry dude. I'm sticking to my guns on this one. You must have had the first run of software.

Come on Mr. Sarcasm. Give me some cred for pulling out the GIF. I just happen to be on the laptop I colored the game with

One of these days someone, somewhere will get a thumbs up from you. And that day we will know someone, somewhere hacked your account

Mine are Barb Wire and X-files and SW:E1 and Baywatch. Only SW:E1 is in my pinball room (alongside RFM).

'96 Barb Wire purchased in '97 in excellent condition
'97 X-files purhcased NIB in '97
'99 SW:E1 purchased NIB in '99
'94 Baywatch purchased in '97 in good condition but with some cabinet dings

But they're still pinball and still fun to play, although X-files can be brutal.

That's like the 27 Yankees of shit games.

SW:E1 is the second best P2K game ever produced. I purchased mine NIB and it is in perfect condition.
Barb Wire was the last Gottlieb and limited production. I got it only a year old and it's still in like-new shape.
X-files is one of the SEGA "showcase" backbox games. I purchased mine NIB and it is low play HUO.

So all your awful games are HOU...I guess that's good or something? Ha...yeah I bet those 2 are "Low Plays" and "like-new"

Creds for buying a xfiles NIB!

I really dont understand the hate for xfiles. Unless it is only because people suck at hitting the ramps, then its a player issue, not a machine issue.

I only have problems hitting the ramps because I refuse to play it. But you know what it has been a long time; but it was a soul crusher on release...so bad with such a good theme at the time. I think i can find some poor person's house to play it at and give it another go.

SF2 on the other hand i have played recently and still just as bad as ever.

Now that is funny.

Yes, it is a Number 2 alright. I don't remember how many people I have known over the years with RFM and SWEP1 in a box near by. But I know every time I asked any of them when the last time they swapped it in I get the "you know the answer" look.

Made me snort! I find this all very entertaining.

That's the spirit!

Should we start a pool predicting when this sells? It's really hard to tell since so many games seem to change hands but not officially sell.

well that's one way that game will change hands. Not sell but still change hands. That's about the only way people can get rid of SF2's is to give them away.

Another one listed for sale at $1800. It looks nice.

Status: Not sold: Decided to keep game

I think this is a game on the move upwards.

Yup. I think Levi has started a buzz about the game. People are now saying they have been hearing about this game so there must be something.

Levi has driven up demand and price. Rick at PPS is in talks with Steve Young for the SF2 Remake. It will be the go-to game at all tournaments from now on.

Or we get to see those for-sale ads for the next couple of years slowly coming down to reality. I just sold my WCS94 for $2K who the heck would pay close to that for a turd.

This will be counter-point to the Predator fiasco. Everyone will pre-pay for this and then be pissed when they actually receive it.

I'm pretty sure that is exactly what he was doing. He has a secret stash of them in pristine shape; he is waiting to cash in. We are totally on to you!

Tee Hee

That's my fake laugh, because SF2 is great! (ok, maybe just good)

What? That is my second down vote! Not cool CaptainNeo ... not cool

I thought it was my first, and I was going to make an inappropriate joke about it. So, not cool twice.

Say something nice about Zaccaria and then i'll give you a thumbs up, and it will even it out.

This isnt a cheapie shot at getting an upvote, but the steam Zaccaria is actually quite well done. They added an achievement mode that really breathes some life into the game. Ive never seen one of their tables in the wild that I can remember.

One, that's blackmail. Two Zaccaria's are really nice. One of our local collector's has a Time Machine and a Pinball Champ. The playfields on those look perfect still. Fun games too.

I'll second this; they did a nice job on it and it's quite fun. I just play it on my PC, I don't have a VP cabinet or anything.

We actually have 2 at our club, farfalla and time machine. They really have their own charm and style

I hope to find a nicely priced SF2 one day. It's the game that got me into pinball ownership! Any haters can send one my way

Good to have you! The haters are all talk; none have given me one yet

Yeah, sign me up on one someone else doesnt want. Ill gladly take it.

The longer I own my SF2, the more I detest it. I do enjoy the theme and I enjoy telling people what an awful game it is before they play it to keep expectations low. I would play it before two of my other games: TMNT and SW ep 1. All three games do fine on location due to theme and were cheap to purchase so that makes them worth keeping around, I guess.

Also, I thought BBBB was considered the worst modern pin of all time.

I think it just has 3 Bs

I enjoyed playing X-Files while I had it and the ramps are certainly a nice challenge and fun as heck when you can nail them and get some flow going. I also like that pop up man-hole feature. What was totally AWFUL was the sound quality. None of the voice clips from the show are intelligible and just sound like crap.

I just got my first pin....and it happens to be a SF2!

I absolutely love it. I went into a nostalgia overdose playing it my first time.lol

Enjoy the heck outta it!

I am! It's frustratingly fun and the music/callouts are sooo cheesy...I love it!

The missus really enjoys it as well. She also asked if we could watch the Street Fighter movie.

I said no to the movie because it's just so gosh darned awful.
