Quoted from gdonovan:As someone who has owned over 20 Data East pins in the last 5 years I have not run across a single individual who has defended the pin.
Not one. It is universally panned by everyone.
Bro, thats what I thought too. Trust me, the tides have changed on this game! Do you post on FB at all? I see it here too, but its especially prevalent on the FB groups

Facebook is dead to me.

No, people want it because of the theme... nobody can defend the valuation based on the gameplay. People that buy it know they are overpaying.. they don't care.
Quoted from colonel_caverne:No Houdini in the list?
I actually had a chance to play one for a few hours uninterrupted at the Saratoga Silverball, not to my taste but I got handle on it pretty good. Tight are the shots but I was rocking it after awhile. It's a title that does require several games to dial in your playing.
Very much like X-Files with several tight shots. If you like a wide open playfield and generous ramp openings it is not for you. It has a very stop and go play style that is not for everyone as well.

No they think its a good game, they don't think they are over paying
Quoted from Haymaker:No they think its a good game, they don't think they are over paying
Well, you need to qualify good game.. it's not terrible. I'm just saying people know that they are buying it for theme and not gameplay. My friend that sold one told the customer exactly that.. it's not worth it.. but if you have to have it, this is the price.. lol
Estimated value
$5180 - $6020
Nobody has brought up Keith Elvin's games? Am I the only person who generally does not enjoy his machines?
I know JP and IMDN are loved by many, but for me those don't do anything. Have played them many times, had somehow long plays, but if you leave from a game after 15 minutes without having done anything that might make you understand the hype these pins get, it's pretty frustrating..
Yeah, PLAY BETTER, but why should I invest my time/money in a machine that's just no fun to me when there are others around, that even bad players can properly enjoy?
Quoted from koji:Estimated value

There was a time when moving the decimal point by one place, it still would have been more than any operator wanted to spend on one at auction.
Estimated value? Less than
$518 - $602
Poll is whack.. not a single de or sega game? No stern indy?
Bw fanboys usually lose their shit when you say space jam, independence day or stern indy are underrated 
great value games!

Stern Indy never gets any love, but I found it to be fun. I got a Stern Indy story I tell at pinball parties.
Now is Stern Indy too simple, and too easy? For a really good player? Absolutely.

Funny you say this put about an hour in on Indy today. It’s my training machine.
Quoted from gdonovan:I dislike Beatles because I despise the band, number of levels has nothing to do with it.
I had two older brothers who played them endlessly, I'd rather stab out my ears with a ballpoint pen than listen to a Beatles song again.
Just saw the like/dislike and almost woke my wife laughing.
6 guys bent out of shape I personally don't worship a boy band from their youth is just plain sad.
I was going to edit this to sound less inflammatory but seriously I find this amusing as hell.
All I need now is a Yoko Ono joke and I'm out of here!

Is like getting a bonus track on a Yoko Ono album.

I would never upvote your post because I like The Beatles but at least you explained why you despise them and I can appreciate that .
But to be fair , they're more than just a boy band , they're also the biggest selling band in history and had an incalculable impact on the culture of the world .
Quoted from gdonovan:6 guys bent out of shape
And you have perfectly relatable reason for not liking them!
My roommate freshman year played Billy Joel’s greatest hits… every. single. day. Both discs. Every last day we shared that dorm room. There’s nothing particularly wrong with Billy Joel, but 30 years later and I still NEVER need to hear another one of his songs.

Not looking for upvotes frankly, I believe what I believe regardless of other people's feelings based on my life experience.
Just as you believe what you believe based on yours!
I appreciate people have varied tastes otherwise the world would be a rather dull place. This would be a short discussion thread if everyone liked Ghostbusters and GnR!
Impact on the culture? Yes and not necessarily in a positive way which is a discussion held elsewhere.
