Quoted from bellbrand:So much negativity about GB.
I guess I’m in the minority I really like it.
GB is a really good pin. It could be great, if Dwight polished up the code.
Quoted from Eric_S:South Park. I loved playing it in the arcades, hated it when I brought it home.
So great we all have different love and hates!

Why don't you own any more pins?
Did you move to PA (Pinheads Anonymous)? Bawawawa!
Owned T2 a week. Replaced with Fish Tales. Demo man lasted a week. Replaced with Judge Dredd. Bad Cats less than a month. Biggest letdown Ghostbusters LE. Had it less than a year. Theme was great. Gameplay not so much. Even money traded it for Iron Maiden LE. That on was the Best decision I’ve ever made
Just don't understand the hate for GB.
I love the wider spread on the flippers.
I love the tight right ramp shot.
I love the magna slingshots.
The mb is one of the best in pinball. Especially with the shaker.
Artwork is kickass.
It's a difficult game but I love a challenge and shorter ball times.
To each his own.

Star Trek premium for me, in and out rather quickly
BTW, after nearly 3 years of ownership, I still really dig my GB premium
The Walking Dead. I had a Prem. It was a fun game but also very frustrating, the rare good game was super fun but it was not often enough for me.
Pinball is so cool. Games like GB which I still own don’t do much for me. WOZ also does nothing for me but I bought it with my dad so it stays.
Other games people on here have mentioned are my favorites. Probably ST, TWD, MET and Kiss would be the last to go and it is interesting that they did not last for some long at all.
Different strokes for different folks.
Quoted from whitey:Indy 500 3 days
Stern Rolling Stones !!! Just a huge let down
I500 really? I've only played it on route and that was years ago but I thought it was pretty fun. Been kinda half assed looking for one local for the last few years.
Quoted from Irishbastard:Family Guy
Forgot about that one
Unboxed and sold
Unboxed a South Park that sucked too
MM - Wanted the game so bad for many years. Finally bought it and couldn't wait to sell it. Weird...I know.
Quoted from jorge5240:GB except I haven’t sold it. Just too lazy. Anyone want one?
Yes. I will give you 3 dollars and a hello kitty eraser.

Ehhhh.... I don’t know about all of that. Everyone dislikes a game for one reason or another. People always complain about the top 100 but it is a representation of the masses and not our individual likes. I liked twilight zone until I owned it. Doesn’t mean it’s a crap game. It just means I don’t like it. Obviously it’s a top 5 game so my opinion is the minority. Just to round it out and prove the point, I love genesis but I get why people don’t. Lol.
Two words....
Striker extreme
Artwork is pretty awful
Quality is questionable
Trying to get rid of...nearly impossible
Would I ever want another? it would have to be nearly free to be considered. Bad bad bad

I’ve passed on several at $1000 and I’ve never played it lol. It looks so awful and I’m not a soccer fan
Quoted from bladerunner:Most the time, I will miss a pin I sold after a while. Recently I saw a pin for sale I used to own and remembered how much I disliked it and still do. So I compiled my list of games not missed at all since we parted ways.
MSF
WPT
POTO
Ghostbusters
Dr. Dude
Dr Who
The Hobbit
Hope you don't get sick ever man, cos you really seem to hate Doctors a lot!!!!

Which raises a question. What kind of sales pitch...ahhh....presentation do you make to your prospective buyer when you are trying to unload the beast?
Do you just shut up and cross your fingers and let your prospect talk his way into buying it?
Do you blather on about how you are out of space?
If you are lucky, you are the only one in the world who does not like this pin and plenty of others want to own it. TOM might be a good example here.
If your luck ran out, you just happened to be the last buyer who did not know how crappy the pin was and you are desperately hoping for one more buyer to show up. Referred to as Greater Fool theory. Or maybe a little bit of Caveat Emptor...Buyer Beware .... Perhaps Raven could be placed here 
Do you feel relief, or guilt, after it is gone? Do we employ a little bit of Lenny Bruce and accept that "a man is as honest as he can afford to be"
You get the idea

This is not meant to be serious, "It's just pinball!".
I will update the list as we go, again for fun
Johnny Mnemonic-The glove drove me crazy-soooooo slow & killed the flow. One of the only games I dislike.
SWE1- Thought it would be cool with hologram screen but decided it was a distraction and cheesy.
Data East Star Wars-It was fun for like two weeks then it was like chopping wood.
Rocky and Bullwinkle-Theme just did not do it for me-had to give it away to get rid of it.
Williams Slug Fest-Novelty game that was fun for two days.
WPT-Theme did not to it for me and never progressed significantly-got boring quick.
AC/DC LUCI- Did not care for lower playfield and cross over ramp.
Skateball-Loved the theme and sounds-layout got old quick.
Games I had that I miss and might get back someday...
Williams IJ
Elvis
NGG
I500
TZ
JD
BDK-just got back again
Lots of love and hate for GB. I personally love my GB LE and it is bolted to the floor. Getting to Stay Puff with Cleland music code is great and challenging. It is a linear game and the flipper gap can be frustrating but the magnetic slings and layout are really fun. Would I own a GB if I only had 5 games-probably not. It is very unique and adds diversity to a collection. While it may not be everyone's cup of tea, I think it is one of the best games to come along in the last five years(behind TNA).

Totally agree. I’m having fun discussing it.
I find myself liking a lot of games that aren’t necessarily popular. For instance, right now I am loving bally special force. I can’t understand why anyone would not like it. It has a ton going for it.
