    Big Hurt and Stargate are the best of the system 3's. Shaq Attack is terribly underrated, as it has pretty balanced scoring, fantastic super jackpots at the moving basket launching off a mini ramp, mini playfield with 4 drop targets and 2 mini flippers, and a spinning disk, a spinner way at the back of the playfield, a vari target and best of all, a separate basket counter display for a variation in gameplay...but hate on..keeps them cheap.

    The worst is hands down Waterworld, which is a shame but it's a total dud. I wanted to love this game, but the rules are pathetic, and the shots are a snooze. Kilos of pure dirt? Shoot the deez? Snooze.

    It's really surprising how opinions vary across this board. Some say so and so is bad, others say it's great.

    I promise WaterWorld is not great, it's actually really really bad. It had potential if the code was better, but it is extremely dull to play, and many shots are not even worth shooting for or don't do a hell of a lot. It's one of the worst pins of the modern DMD era.

    If you have a Shaq attack set up properly with strong flippers, the game is a blast to play, especially with friends.

    Big Hurt is the one of the bunch that has elements in it to keep you coming back. It's not an easy pin to wizard on, and the moving glove keeps track of how many hits it takes, and the grand slam or hole for the homerun never get old, I mean never. It is a super satisfying shot.
