    Jurassic Park is Elwin's worst game, by far
    Spooky's games are hardly playable, and cheaply made
    IMDN is the best music pin ever
    Dialed In is incredible, and the theme is fun as hell
    AFM is not a good game for a home collection
    Steve Ritchie hasn't made a good game since Star Trek (stern)
    Road Show is EPIC
    Williams Indiana Jones is the worst Super Pin by Williams
    Taxi Sucks, and should be destroyed

    Quoted from BigT:

    All pins become rinse and repeat.

    now that is an unpopular opinion!!! the result of no passion for pinball. get some! remember the old days

    Quoted from Mbecker:

    If you believe that, you owe an upvote to that post, not a downvote. Post nailed the thread title, that’s what we’re going for here right?
    I thought of a few more too — I am so sick of the phrase ‘condition is king’ and tired of ‘cash on the glass’. There’s a few others that maybe should be banned as well lol. Yes, they’re accurate but can get some new phrases??

    alright amigo, you're right. I should've upvoted his post. this is the forum for unpopular opinions after all right? I suppose my ego got the best of me there with my response. I could and should have upvoted, and then posted my response. my only rationale is that I am endlessly enthusiastic and passionate about our game which has brought me and so many countless others so much joy and communal stability. We are all zealots, and I can admit that my zealotry took over my body and mind when I read his post, which so easily and harshly dismissed our beloved games. I should've clickd the other arrow, and then declared that his post reflected a starvation for passion in our hobby which so occupies our lives, and for the better!!

    I'll switch my vote tonight, and I appreciate your candid reply, my friend and fellow addict.

    not sure what you mean. I offered a plethora of niche opinions which are largely unpopular. Do you want more unpopular opinions?

    Heres a few more:

    EM games are almost all the same gameplay experience

    ACDC is not a good home collection game

    John Trudeau should not be exiled from our hobby, despite his transgressions. He has designed some of the most interesting games that we have all enjoyed playing for thirty five or forty years, and we ought to separate the man's work from the man's personal transgressions and presumptive addictions/crimes.

    Judge Dredd is a top tier game and has an amazing, unparallelled layout and offers an incredible pinball experience. This is another nod to the infamous Trudeau

    the Rolling Stones are a terrible Rock Band, and the game should never have been produced. The Rolling Stones Pinball game is one of Stern's worst releases of all time, without a doubt

    The Beatles Pinball machine is only popular because of the ubiquitous acceptance of an unprecedented effort to popularize and inject society with "BOY BANDS" comprised of attractive, unobtainable males in positions where they could have sung southern Jazz and still have been praised for their work. Beatles music is GARBAGE, and should never be considered as "revolutionary" or even original and/or Unique. They are hacks who stole most of their catalogue from jazz musicians who preceded them in the industry.

    Bally/Williams only made about ten amazing games, and everyone's endless desire to own all of their titles from the nineties is completely misguided. I'd rather spend five thousand dollars on a used Stern from the two thousands era releases/titlles

    is my opinion the unpopular one, or what are you inferring here with this repost? I hope you've not lost your zest for pinball. After all, we are all in this together to love these games right?

    Quoted from Frax:

    Now that's a hot take, and one that I fully can =disagree= with.
    That's like saying we shouldn't push JPOP out even though he scammed a crapton of people, just because people like CV and WCS....only one of these things is massive degrees of difference worse than the other.
    *Edit* Wasn't Trudeau convicted of those charges?
    *Edit 2* He pleaded guilty, bro. There's nothing "presumptive" there.

    Yeah, he was a troubled, sick man, and he belongs in jail. I'm just saying he made some great games. I agree with you that those guys don't belong in our hobby currently, but they made their contributions and then, or perhaps simultaneously, were complete deviants and con men. we can say that they made great games right?

    #279 2 years ago

    dang. well then you must hate late seventies and all eighties and nineties games from the various manufacturers he made games for in those decades!!!

    Quoted from TheLaw:

    Well that's unpopular for me so well played!

    Quoted from TheLaw:

    Quoted from TheLaw:

    He made Creech, his 1 great machine.
    I mean Congo is probably next and then....a bunch of garbage. Oh heavens all his sweet Premier titles! Uff. Flintstones & bride are bottom of the Williams barrel.

    alright alright let's take it easy!! j/k. I get what you're saying, and I know plenty of people who don't like his games. It's ok to disagree; that's why we have unpopular opinions and these forums.

    I bet if we were in front of one of his games together, I could convince you to like a game that you previously disliked. I think I could persuade you. I'm the pinballer who is totally jazzed about almost every game, so total disclosure here. I think I could make you a believer
