Yeah you should definitely spend $5600 on a game you don't like, makes sense.
Overrated? Every single game in pinball is both underrated and overrated. If you don't like it you don't like it. It's big, a pain to move, and that's not a deal that leaves any meat on the bone for you to profit so why bother if you don't like it?
Quoted from Blackbeard:I played papa's TZs a bunch last time I was there. Also played a bunch at other locations. I don't see the appeal I guess. I'm also not a fan of ww, fh, rbion, or TAF for that matter.... all Lawlor games. Just something about them I don't like.
For 5600 I'd buy 3 system 11s.
No you wouldn't. These days everybody wants 2500 for their System 11s.
But as far as TZ goes...not everyone is gonna like it...but at this point using a term like "overrated" is meaningless (and I'll note Blackbeard didn't use that term. He just doesn't like it).
Like with the Beatles.
Or Star Wars.
Or Bacon.
Or Blow Jobs.
When so many people agree that one thing is awesome, terms like "overrated" become completely irrelevant.
Quoted from Blackbeard:If you think you cannot buy 3 system 11s with $5600 you're on crack.
Have you ever MET any crackheads?
I have. And I've never, ever heard one pontificate on inflated pinball prices. It's just not something they do.
What kind of crackheads are you hanging out with, anyway?
Quoted from someoneelse:It's based on the general average opinion.
It would have been enough to say "I'm an individualist and prefer completely different machines than the average pinball player". No need to get upset about it. Your post is basically saying the average pinball player (as the list is a reflection of the average pinheads opinion) is a stupid idiot and only you know the real truth to which machine is good and which is not.
My favorite machine is TS and I don't enjoy some of machines in the top 10 to much, others obviously do.
Why should that bother me? At all?
I have to admit I have the same knee-jerk reaction when someone cites the IPDB or Pinside top 100 lists.
Everyone here argues with everyone else all the time about everything. So suddenly we are supposed to have unconditional faith in the pinball community when it comes to game ranking?
Rollergames is the most exciting game in pinball...yet garbage like Judge Dredd is ranked higher!
It's a Shonda!!!
Quoted from TheLaw:How could it be your grail pin if you didn't even love it at the time?
He thought it had that"it" factor. It didn't.
Quoted from Sticky:This. Feel strongly the same way.
You guys are suckers.
Smart money is to buy 11 EM games.
