Wonka gets played more than JJPoTC but less than JPLE in my collection. JPLE is my current go-to. But Wonka is beautiful, has butter-like gameplay (think of a HEP B/W) and deep rules. The only "failure" about it was my losing the ball out the left side, until I stuck in the post. Yeah, the narrator stinks, but he's still corny AF, just like the movie. JJP likes that kid-friendly old timey crap tho. The theme would have resonated with me more with the new WW movie. Boingo music, Deep Roy playing all the Oompa Loompas--use THOSE assets with Wilder's face and I'd have loved it. I LOVE edgy stuff.

That said, I do love me some Wonka pinball.

As for JPLE, I dig what's linear about it, the flow, etc. I keep going back to it.

I've purchased all the JJPs NIB. WOZ's theme and L outlane were enough for me to let it go. It and Wonka belong in the "Corny as Fuck" category. I HATE all that "family-friendly" edgeless bullshit. But Wonka's gameplay is among JJP's best, so it stays. If only I could have Danny Elfman's music from the remake. SO much better!
