Had the pleasure of playing in the inaugural Bat City Pinball Tournament at Pinballz in Austin, TX yesterday. Played a handful of games and met some great people will playing. I will admit that I am not a good player and watching some of the others in the tournament was an eye opener.

I was fortunate or should I say unfortunate to play Stern’s early 2000’s Playboy. Sven Johnson (one of the tournament organizers) was happy to beat me to a bloody pulp in a best of three games match. Let’s just say that with the exception of the first ball Sven had in the first game, he easily beat my entire game score in one ball thereafter. It was still nice to watch someone hit the shots and watch the progress, and I think he felt bad beating me so bad. Either way, the tournament was a lot of fun.

That being said, Playboy is extremely cheesy and I believe I will never play it again unless it is drawn in a future tournament. Call outs are terrible and didn’t seem to flow with the game play, IMO.

This brings me to my question, what pin is cheesy to you?

Funny you should say that....its was on the left of the Playboy....and on the right was WPT with the chicks and chips translite. All were in the back corner so not kiddo traffic.

Gottlieb Touchdown. Head is super shallow and machine seems to weigh about 1/2 of what some other machine do. Cheap look and feel - thankfully they only made a couple with this style cabinet but all Gottlieb Premiers seem cheaply made to me.

I always thought Rollergames was a very cheesy theme, but the machine itself plays solid and is a heck of a lot of fun.

I second Baywatch, but don't really miss it. It was a pretty cool machine, tons of ramps, but just couldn't get past the bad music. Oh, and the multiball was too easy to get, and could actually mess up other goals.

Not too often you see camel toe on a pinball machine...cheesy!

Rachel looks pretty good to me. Bally's cross marketing at it's best. She was also a Bally's Health & Tennis Clubs spokesmodel. Along with Sheena Easton and Heather Locklear. Cher too, but you can have her.

I've got a Rollergames. Totally cheesy late 80's/early 90's theme based on a short-lived TV show but it's all a part of the game's charm. It's like a snapshot of the pop culture of the time. Game's really fun too.

I agree Stern's Playboy is cheesy, but I liked that about the game. Same thing with Baywatch...I loved the cheese and playfield...hated the not 100% working skill shot design and not much on the rules. The sounds and DMD animations were cheesy fantastic.

I also think I would enjoy some Rollergames cheese. Especially the theme song.

It's a shotgun I believe. It seems to be a strange choice, but I wouldn't consider a kickout noise as being random.

My pick would definitely be Class of 1812. I'm all about monsters, even when in good fun such as Monster Bash, but they just made all the characters and artwork just too cheesy for me to consider purchasing this game. And that's a shame too, because it's insanely fun.
