This thread kind of took a detour into bad Classic Stern land. Viper is terrible and IM also blows, although it admittedly looks awesome. At least nobody brought up Catacomb!

I don't think you can compare any of those games to quicksilver, which is completely awesome to play. Just rips. I'd love to have one in New York City to play, so somebody please hook up the OP with the machine he seeks.

I've sold him a game, and others here have too. All will agree he's a breeze to deal with, knows what he wants, and sale or no there's not going to be any bullshit at all.

Just a killer game I've been lucky enough to discover recently.

But this is about Quicksilver!!

Luckily, no, I havn't had the displeasure.

A new quicksilver wouldn’t be the same as an old quicksilver.

LOL

I meant it wouldn't play the same. Flippers are different, drops are different, etc.

I don't think you can replicate the Quicksilver experience by building a game in 2019, unless you were going to repro and use all classic parts, which doesn't seem very cost effective for a mass produced game.

Not ALL classic stern parts were garbage, just the light sockets as far as I can tell.

Kind of irrelevant as you can say that for literally hundreds of pins.

I still can't believe DE and Sega games get WPC prices these days. Thousands of gottlieb and bally games that may have ended up in landfill got a second lease because of reproduction boards.

I don't really give a shit just relating my experience as someone who now has owned about half-dozen classic Stern games. Don't really notice much besides the light sockets as being markedly inferior. I think you are using a little bit of hyperbole but I don't want to get into a big thing about cause like I said I don't really care.

You can't even bend the light sockets to remove a bulb without them breaking in some cases!

Oh and yes I had a Stars lockdown bar mech fall apart on me.
