I hate to say this, because it makes me feel bad since I love Charlie and Spooky, but easily Rob Zombie. I've played hundreds of different games, from all eras, and very few times do I walk away without finishing my game. I can only think of three off the top of my head.

I walked away from Star Wars Episode 1, but it was set to 5 balls, and I just couldn't care enough to actually flip that 5th ball and bailed.

I barely consider Varkon a pin, but it's just so boring, after rowing the joysticks for a while I stopped.

Rob Zombie though just felt awful. When I plunged my first ball and it got trapped behind the drop target that should have been the sign. I shook it free and stuck with it, but it didn't get any better. Nothing feels good on that game, it's a clunky mess. It should have had 3 more whitewood revisions or something, it's half baked and not all there. After ball 2 my friend and I just looked at each other and nodded and walked away.

I have no interest in every trying to play it again. Sorry Charlie! You're the man to me still, but that layout should have been more ruthlessly revised imo.

Quoted from Dayhuff:

TNA and I never played it, it just looks lame

I love this post, this is Pinside in a nutshell

Quoted from vicjw66:

I take it you haven’t played Thunderbirds. It makes Rob Zombie look like a masterpiece.

I have not, and honestly I have little desire to. But sure, I'd flip it if I was in front of it so I could compare.
