    Quoted from MikeS:

    Here's four that come to mind:
    IJ4 - Great theme that Stern managed to screw up.
    SWE1 - The game, like the movie didn't live up to the hype.
    roadshow - Not a bad game, but a disappointing follow up to TZ and TAF

    I like RS and I think it's fun...but it was too cartoony for it's time. I wouldn't use the term laughable as it was obviously a return to Whirlwind & ES...but at the time something just didn't sit right.
    It was almost too "tonka truck" looking, almost fakish. I mean we Had DE & Gottlieb for fake horrible games back then.

    I like Monopoly a lot. It's got it's issues like that damn bank door, & the cop targ

    To be honest i can't believe Avatar is ranked as high as it is.

    Quoted from devil_rider:

    Would be interesting to receive a US Operators's perspective on this.......as the game
    is highly coveted now!
    DR

    I talked to a guy awhile back that operated probably 30ish+ pins over a decade or 3 and he said hands down TZ made him the least money.

    Hey,
    I'd say Flipper Football by Capcom. Thanks to Lloyd (LTG) for sharing this story with me when I was at SS Billiards one time: http://www.ufopinball.com/BBB/capcom_small.JPG

    That is great. No shortage of classics in there!

    Quoted from Xanathar:

    JDub1006 said:PS. Transformers?? Sorry Stern lovers but this game stinks, I think Stern had a budget of $150.00 and a Walmart gift card to make this one.

    As I've said before I like the PRO edition much better becssue it doesn't have all the cheap crap strewn about it.

    500 units each? That can't be true. Then again I've never seen a 24 so.....

    Quoted from RGR:

    I just dont know why people on this site except that Stern is good for pinball when they are screwing you around.

    Well i'm no Stern lover by any means, but there have been some damn fine games made by them. I would say more bad then good, but good ones for sure. Would I pay for any of them? Sure. I would love to own a RBION...and there are some more out there.

    I don't bow at their feet or anything, but like iot or not they have been the only company for the last 10+ years producing pinball machines. If nothing else, they've shown other companies that you can make money making pinballs.

    Quoted from RGR:

    Everything that JJ has said and done will prove that new innovations were possible in pinball.

    And guess what, there's more than enough ass kissing of JJ even though they haven't done a damn thing yet. Will it be great? I have no idea, I hope so. I'm not chalking it up as a victory already like you are becasue they are using an LCD display. I would have thought Pat Lawlor was incapable of making a garbage game...then I met CSI.
