It's just marketing for the rest of their games. The games all look great...but overpriced.

seems like a waste of time.. I wouldn't buy anything from them just on principle of stupid marketing tactics

That thing better come with Kelly LeBrock circa 1984.

I dunno, it is a pretty good game IMO. I am in mine for less than that though.

Funny you mention that, every time I read that title name I think of weird science. By far one of my fav movies from my childhood, Bill Paxton was great in that!

It's hard to make a living in the pinball restoration business. For what they put into these games, even with the price they list them for, they aren't making much of a profit in the long run. Yeah, this eBay listing is just to poke fun at the pinball community. And you know what? It worked!

Their machines look nice but, this guy is a little off his rocker. His IPDB ratings are so...random and his marketing techniques are bizare.

Go figure
