Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:GB is getting way too much hate. I think a lot of folks probably played it with the shit code and never got a chance to play with the final god-tier code.
It’s a completely different game.
As for Star Wars? The best version of a SW machine was made about 29 years ago by DE and Sega made the second best. After the movie clip nostalgia wears off you just have a terrible, uninspired layout and a clunky-ass game. I’ve played it a bunch and it’s just meh.
JP is fun. I haven’t spent a lot of time with it but it’s enjoyable and the layout is really unique. Theme integration is almost nonexistent. It’s basically a generic Dino game with a completely different story.
The layout of JP is really cool and both very similar to Stern’s Iron Maiden but also completely different. It’s very fun.
I was playing my Seawitch a few days ago and the layout of the loops and shots on JP really reminded me of it. It’s like a mini Seawitch on the right and the an entirely different beast added on the upper left.
So yeah I’d say JP is a good choice, and GB Premium is also a great game WITH the final code.
Star Wars is meh, if you want SW theme buy the 90’s machines.
You may be right - but it is really hard to recommend GB over JP. (really really hard)
