Quoted from cooked71:

Let’s all be honest here - BTTF is actually not that good. It just hits the nostalgia sweet spot for 70% of pinball collectors.

The original Back to the Future? Is actually really good. It is a masterpiece in screen writing.
From front to back, that movie has no flaws in its script, and it’s characters are perfectly blended together.
Maybe there are arguments for 2 and 3, but the original is a pretty epic film.

There are only two legitimate video games I can think of that would make great pinball machines.

Zelda

Or Grand Theft Auto

Speaking of coils heating up, Led Zeppelin you can backhand that right ramp shot on a fresh start up, but go a few multiballs deep into the gameplay and that shot is no longer,
It even becomes much more difficult to do with the left flipper, they get tired, and you start to rely on the roll in from the inlane to give it the momentum it needs.
It’s my only real knock on the the game though (I have a pro)

WOF lasted a weekend. I got the to the end of the broken code, and that was it. The game is a dud in my opinion, it’s embarrassing.
The guy that bought it from me, it lasted a week.
Apparently there is one finished or nearly finished version somewhere in a WOF game, according to Keith himself.
When he left stern, it wasn’t with good feelings and that code was left on his work computer and what they did with it was out of his hands at that point (again, according to him)

Munsters on the other hand, is like Monster bash 2.0, it’s addicting, and I don’t really see much issue with the code besides the capped bonus x and a few other minor things.
It’s in my collection currently because it’s just pure fun and a change of pace from the other stuff.

Quoted from PinMonk:

Ball save was RECOMMENDED to be off by Stern. They were very proud of this recommendation and spread the word to leave it off at launch time. Supposedly it was to make it more of a badass ass-beater of a milquetoast pin or something. But yeah, it was DUMB. Nevermind that if ball save was off you never saw the show clip that went with it.
So yeah, Munsters sucks. HOWEVER it has the best theme-integrated Midnight Madness mode. Full stop. Better than Johnny Mnemonic's.
A long time ago when I was reviewing video games, I got a novel from the very concerned PR firm with one of them on how the game was "supposed" to be played. It became clear that this was because if you played it like the wrestling game it appeared to be, it completely sucked balls. Turns out, it sucked balls no matter how you played it. If you have to tell the end user how you want them to enjoy your game, you have failed.

Yeah but it really doesn’t suck. I admit, I played one when it first came out and I thought it was so uninspired and just eh, but then I played it two years later and found it very addicting.
It’s just a fun game to see how many points you can pound up, the risk vs reward factor in Munsters is fun stuff.

They nailed everything on that pro, design and art, I’m in.

Quoted from zr11990:

Mope but there was a very nice guy on Rec.games.pinball that I would send pinball parts to and when I did he would send me Vegemite.

Almost thirty years ago I had a dog named Mopes.

A Superman pin would sell, especially comic book style.

Quoted from V8haha:

How disappointing. I’m amazed they didn’t get that shark to do something interactive with the ball.

What are you talking about… that looks fun as hell!
