I'll second (or fourth or fifth) Congo. Also, Hollywood Heat, although an "80s cheese" theme like that could have been really great if executed a bit better (i.e. poor backglass...).
Quoted from Pinballgeek:Great theme , meh game.
Quoted from oldskool1969:Better add Dr Who to the list also.
Y'all be trippin. Awesome theme. Awesome game.
Last Action Hero:
I've heard most ppl disrespect the movie
and the Ahnold bighead translite scares them silly
vs
lots of modes to shoot for with good flow
and a challenging crane to load up
and various multiballs
Quoted from branlon8:Can someone pleeease define "crappy theme" ?
Ok, I kind of get it if it was based on a movie or tv show which flopped, but tv shows like Baywatch were anything but a flop I think.
Or is crappy theme 100% opinion only ?
Giving a few reasons why somebody considers a theme crappy would be helpful.
I suppose a crappy theme is opinion only. For example oldskool1969 has said above Star Trek and Iron Man are crappy themes, where others love them.
I would define a crappy theme as follows: A critically unsuccessful, obscure or unpopular tv show or movie. In the realm of unlicensed themes, I would define it as a particularly obscure, unpopular or unusual theme.
Bad Girls for me is like the worst theme but the game is sweet. I'm thinking about getting one and just mildly re-theming it to a pool table based theme.
Quoted from theGiven:Rollergames... hideous theme....great player.
Quoted from tjc02002:Bad Girls for me is like the worst theme but the game is sweet. I'm thinking about getting one and just mildly re-theming it to a pool table based theme.
Thanks. I'll check out both Rollergames and Bad Girls. Cheers
Quoted from PinSinner:I have played both and enjoyed them. I know you're not a scifi fan, but I quite like the theme of those two.
Exactly great to play but the theme sucks for me.
Quoted from EvanDickson:Y'all be trippin. Awesome theme. Awesome game.
Well it is a fun game if you don't aim for points though because shooting the sonic boom ramps to gain the most points can be a chore. However, that can be said about most pins
