I like the fact that it has a system 11 feel but has some great features that certainly are not included on any system 11... Stacking multi balls for higher jackpots was a new thing in pinball at the time it came out. Also, the movie is not bad at all. Killer video mode, the sounds are really good as well. As far as I'm concerned, BSD has some of the best dots ever created in all of pinball. Also has one of the coolest toys in pinball. End of ball carry over bonus was a nice throwback to some of the great 80's games that had that feature. LEDs allow for some really creative mods. Lightning flippers make it harder for certain. Some like that fact, some hate that fact. The game actually has a similar layout to Taxi when you think about it. Probably why I like both games a lot.

For what they sell at, I think it's the best value in pinball right now.

The shot layouts are exactly the same man.

No it's not. You're over-reacting. Besides, Maverick has no left ramp.

I don't disagree. For years (2000-2008) the game ALWAYS sold for around 1500 (or less). It's still affordable these days but finding one that cheap now would be a parts machine. Once BSD started having issues on location, most operators wouldn't even attempt to fix them. There is a lot to go wrong on the game and bulletproofing one is a test of patience.
