Rescue 911 - I never could get the helicopter to work properly even after rebuilding every part of it.
Alien Star - Boring layout, but apparently a shooter's game and loved by tournament players.
TSPP - Annoying callouts (and I like the show) and the shots aren't that fun--nearly every shot has to have a stoppage for some callout.
Class of 1812 - It's all multiball. Thankfully, a lot of people want this title so it was easy to unload.
Quoted from boagman:I can understand the R911 hate if your helicopter was never 100%. It's the entire game, basically.
Don't have a whole lot to say about Alien Star.
I'm surprised that TSPP annoyed you for that reason. I guess I would suggest not buying Stern's POTC if you don't like that.
Class of 1812 is most assuredly *not* all multiball...but it *is* all left ramp, all the time. That, I'll spot. Still, I really have a soft spot for that machine, especially for its (what I consider to be) fantastic music and voices. More fun than it really deserves to be, I think.
Funny, I almost included POTC as another regret. I traded for it and had never played it, just watched a few videos. The gameplay seemed to be all side-to-side. It didn't last long either. All of this negativity for a few well-liked pins, but I've enjoyed, more or less, Ghostbusters Pro and an LE when I had those at various times and was ok dealing with the frustrating drains from those two versions compared to the titles listed above.
1812 was just ramps and that giant saucer shot in the middle. I was always starting multiball as the ball would constantly fall into that saucer.
