Quoted from Fatsquatch:For the longest time now on forum discussions pertaining to Jersey Jack and the Wizard of Oz, I keep seeing proclamations like these:
-- Jack is a true visionary and is moving pinball into the future
-- WOZ will usher in the next generation of pinball
-- Jersey Jack Pinball is moving the industry forward while everyone else isn't
-- WOZ will be the greatest pinball machine of all-time
-- WOZ will single-handedly save pinball and bring people back to the game
Although I have of course seen those statements in some form or other on Pinside and other sites, I honestly believe the vast majority of us that are in on WOZ are just hoping for a great pinball machine to play. Its just that the vocal minority that either overly praise JJP or bash JJP get all the attention. Remember, JJP sold 1000 WOZLE's, (probably a couple hundred to Pinsiders?). Most of us have never said anything remotely like the points above--we are simply patiently waiting for our games...!
Do I hope that WOZ will be the greatest pinball machine of all-time? Of course I do. But then again, I hoped the same when I pre-ordered AC/DC BIBLE. Hopefully I will luck out a second time!
