I kinda miss mine. I had a pretty clean one that played great. My son loved it. I traded it for a Rocky and Bullwinkle that I really enjoy.

Threads like this help keep the price down, so I can pick up another cheap.

Testify! I like the game, I have friends who like the game. I always kept mine in tournament mode for the free play setting. Once you enter championship mode and siren bell thingy starts... man that is exciting stuff.

I traded the game away and I miss it. I see one on CL currently that I am thinking about grabbing cheap once the current owner loses hope of ever selling it.

I say bash away, more for me!

(I think I have made similar statements in this thread before. Fun thread, keep up the good work!)

What? I'm encouraging this.

Another Street Fighter II just came up for sale on my local CL. I'm seriously considering another one. I just need to get rid of something less awesome...

Of course, if I have to sell a Street Fighter II I fully expect this thread to quiet down.

Dude, where did you get this? This is the one Alt translite I'm on board with and I own a Raven and a Genesis.

OK, both Street Fighter II pins near me on CL sold. They were asking like $1400 and $1500 in each ad and they sold pretty quickly.

I feel this topic is failing me. I want to get one of these, but for under $1000. Let us continue to talk crap please!

I mean if a Street Fighter II is bringing in that kind of cash what is my Raven worth?

I completely agree, but they sold pretty quickly. I usually camp an item for a week or three while the grim reality of never selling settles in on them. Then I swoop in with my money and save them. Bought my Victory for $500 using this technique.

Of course, I tried this technique waiting for a Tag-Team Pinball I wanted. Some guy wanted crazy money for it, and I waited a long time. One day it just disappeared. I assume the guy died on it... probably sobbing. I could have saved his life had I acted quicker

I like Raven; I have a Raven. At one point my collection consisted of three machines and I had both Raven and Street Fighter II. I still have Raven, but it isn't an indictment of Street Fighter II. I could trade Street Fighter II away... no one wants Raven.

Made me snort laughing so hard.

Do you think it's easy being that annoying? Press Hashtag... wait for blue shading... start typing... select the game (don't press enter)

Glad you appreciated it.

Good to know if I get another one. That translite is great.

You need to step it up in the mistake making area if that is the pinnacle

Next time a beautiful condition SF2 falls into your lap (at well below market cost I might add), you let me know and I will finally come visit.

So much pinanthropy... I like both games. I've owned both and still have the Raven. I just can't find it in me to hate anything this much. Well, there is kale. I'm pretty sick of kale. While technically kale is not a pinball machine, this kinda fits the conversation.

At least it's named after me

Are you referring to all other games in comparison to SF2? That might be a little strong

I'm sensing a lack of conviction here. Has hating SF2 become rote? You are going to have to try harder than that or we, the likers, will outweigh the negative opinions.

Once again positive thoughts and messages win the internet and all forum conversations

Totally Positive!

I'm 99% sure this is what the internet was made for. A fiercely debated subject with super low actual impact.

When did this ever make sense

I do have to say, this has become one of my favorite topics. While the OPs arguments have yet to sway me, I enjoy the conviction.

I think SF2 makes a great bash toy for the forum; no one has a ton of money into one, so we are allowed to say what we think. Cough, cough, Batman 66 (Premium), cough. I've never played one, but man do people get roused by that topic

I would buy nice examples all day long at that price, but they would have to be pretty nice.

While I do enjoy SF2, Facebook is just stupid.

Nice video above too; Mighty Mouse for the win!

It does make me a little sad... that I sold my SF2

All this talk makes me want another one.

Putting it back on my wish list! Seriously, I am... right now...

Mine was in decent shape and worked 100%. I traded it for a nice Rocky and Bullwinkle.

Before people accuse me of taking advantage, the buyer was a solid collector and good player. He played mine at a tournament or two and kept asking to set up a trade. He even suggested R&B.

Just saw him recently and I asked if he wanted to sell it back; he said no.

That's why I am so sad.

Sorry to say there are none to be had at that price or I would own another. Not sure if they all got gutted for their boards to save Waterworlds and Class of 1812s or what.

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?

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

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.

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

I think this is a game on the move upwards.

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.

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.

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

I think it just has 3 Bs

I feel like we can do better than this. This starts to feel like a kid argument: It suck, no it doesn't, it sucks, no way, and so on. Please try and give specific issues so I can refute them.

I'm going to add a thing that is really nice about SF2; it is at a nice height for my hands... I realize that is true of most games, but at 9 pages I'm running out of positive things to say.

That old Gottlieb quality can't be beat!

Aw Snap!

What?

The animations are fine; they do lack some detail. They look amazing in color. Malenko has done all the color dmd stuff and it looks great. Makes me want to buy another one.

The call outs are great and mine had great sound. "You can't win if you walk away" classic!

The art was bad when looking at the backglass; there is a new one of those now, thanks to @malenko. The rest of the machine looked OK

The playfield looked good. Pictures of characters and stuff. Better than some modern pins.

Don't forget the stars everywhere. I looked at pictures of it yesterday and maybe the playfield is not that great, but worst art ever... far from it.

They do look amazing. The old ones never bothered me, but I know some people had complaints.

Because it was was an empty cabinet.

Good to see this thread getting bumped. Have to remind people how wrong half the posters in this thread are

and I am enjoying my role as anti-basher. This thread would grow tired without opposition. I really enjoy some of the more creative bashing.

I have friends who are much better players than I and they are openly enthusiastic about the game. Different tastes for everyone is what makes this hobby fun.

While I don't think it's the greatest game ever, my son loved the game when we had it. I would buy it again if I found one cheap enough. All the work Malenko has done really makes the game fresh. One of the biggest complaints about the game is the old dots.

Now we are talking! Why hasn't there been a thread about my Mom, yet?

Same has been said about my Mom
