Why would it get old faster than any other game? It's actually lots of fun. The theme held it back. Of course I'm a bit biased. I might even vote for Popadiuk for president if he ran...

Good family game and not that expensive. I just picked up my second one after selling one last year. Kids love it....GOAL!

Scoop it, play it, get the high score then trade it or sell it

Have you watched videos of it? thats what I usually do.

I like almost all machines and not many rate below 7 so I would like one of every top 200 pins If I had the room and money!

For $1800 it should be nice and working.

Here's a You_Tube video of WCS94 by Tomdotcom.. Plus go read the comment's at IPDB

http://www.ipdb.org/search.pl?any=WCS&search=Search+Database&searchtype=quick#2811

Thats a well done video too! Thats the video that made me decide to buy the first one.

I use You_Tube and the comment's at IPDB for Every Pin that I haven't Owned ( Yet ) .

It's help's me make a decision Quicker !!

Again a very subjective question. I have a WCS and I don't see it leaving. First I got a good deal, it's in very good condition all around and everyone enjoys playing it. The theme is OK with me and folks are always commenting on the Ball. I also thought the music and call outs might get annoying but I don't see that happening.

It's a Pop pin so that is a plus and it is on the lowest end pricewise but not quality or fun wise, for a Pop pin.

1800 seems fair if the pin is in very good shape all around. If you can find one to play, That's your best bet. Even if yoiu bought it and didn't want it after a few months I think you could at least get your purchase price back.

Out of all the machines I've ever sold, it's the one I miss the most. I pick it over TSPP, CFTBL, STTNG, WH2O...I just think it's a game that is flat out fun. I am hoping to get one back very soon.

I owned a WCS94 and it is a very fun pin to play and guests for some reason seemed to gravitate towards it because it made them feel good versus getting owned and having much shorter ball times on my other games. Here is another great video from PAPA you can watch too

I've owned a WCS for a couple of years. I honestly have never gotten into it but my 5 yr old loves it as do most kids that come over. For that reason I have kept it. It is a fun game it just hasn't grabbed me.

Set it up MEAN AS HECK and it is great. Set it up so it plays easy, and I think it's not so hot.

If you can shoot the final draw hole regularly, it's really not that interesting. If you can't, it's far more interesting.

Oh, and $1800 for good condition doesn't sound that out of the ordinary. There was one for $1500 at the MGC, but it had a ramp just blown apart on it.

I think it's a terrific game. It's not the hardest pin out there, but it plays very fast, and the theme is well executed. Here's a video of mine:

There's actually quite a bit to do and there's a small wizard mode with a 5 ball timed multiball. I think there are at least 8 cities to travel to and beat. Here is a detailed rule sheet with strategies:

I really like this game for its price range.
I think as long as you have 3 or 4 pins It should not get stale to fast.

As mark mentioned there are multiple ways to get multiball.

Cities to finish and some fun shots.

The goalie always makes it exciting to me.

I would grab this title if it ever came up close to me for reasonable shape and price.

WCS94 is a Great playing pinball machine! I owned it for years! I played it much more then TOTAN, thats for sure (though not as good looking)! If you've got the $ Its worth it. But I say that about all good priced pinball machines, because they hold there value!

Good advice above. I'd say buy it.

borg getting no love? lol...

Fun game, played it daily for about 4 months when I worked at a comic book shop back in the day!

I owned a WCS for over a year and it never really "clicked" with me. I'm not sure if it was the lack of modes (It has a few modes but they're really basic), the theme, the really noisy and mostly useless soccer ball or what? It's not a bad game per se. I enjoyed it at times, but honestly I don't really miss it at all.

I didn't realize this pin came with lightning flippers?

Normally, it has regular flippers. The one in the video only had lightning flippers to make it more difficult for the tournament.

Vendor's install Lightning Flipper's to make the ball-Tyme Shorter for More income , ( If they Weren't Installed from factory ) I Hate the Lil- Joker's !!!

Great pin for a great price. Mine stands strong in my current line-up and gets as much attention from me as all the others I have.

Nice lineup.

I love my WCS! The gameplay keeps bringing me back. Just got a JP and the WCS is still getting more play. The theme is really good for our house because we have some soccer kids and I coach. Beyond the theme the game plays great. The shots are easy enough that you can go deep into the gameplay, but there are enough of them to make it interesting.

I finally got to the final draw 5-ball WC final the other night. It was awesome, but kicked my butt!!!

I found the spinner shot to be a bit tough all the way at the left. You have to hit it several times to move through the cities to get to the final match. The TV shot is also tough to hit. Neither are so hard to make the game unplayable by an average player, or new player for that matter.

Thanks PDman. Got a Sure Shot EM as well. Always have an oldschool EM as its a much different pin then the DMDs. There are nights that the em is the only pin turned on.......

Never has got old to me. Still love to play it. Change the settings harder and the tilt tighter and you have a whole different beast also.

I do enjoy the game but I found that after I gave it a decent amount of plays I did tire of it a bit. I can see why people really like it though.

What's the ask-n Price of the WCS in the Pict's ? lOOk's like Cliff's are added also .

I really enjoyed playing that game when it was brand new and in the arcade. It is one I would buy but I don't think I could justify $1,800 for it. I would be more apt to buy one for a few hundred less and clean it up myself. That's just my opinion though.

It's not like you can find the pin you like near you every day of the week.

Sounds about right with the new motor. I paid $1600 for one not too long ago, but it has a couple minor issues more than what I saw on this one, and doesn't have a new motor or installed Cliffys, so $1800 sounds okay. Maybe $1700 if you can talk them down to it.

If it's in good shape, 1700 is fair.
