Yeah you aren’t the first to notice this.

The ruleset is also stolen wholesale from Addams family.

There’s a reason why this is considered one of the better DE games. Ripped off the best in excruciating detail.

Still nowhere near as good as wind or Addams.

Yes JP has a DMD and deeper rules than WWind...

It's also got that patented DE clunk, bad flippers, and awful playfield art.

I don't know how on god's green earth you beefers are preferring it to Wwind!

Especially you Cool dino, I expect better!!

LW3 / T2?

Stealing layouts from Williams was practically a pastime over at DE.

And yeah Secret Service is bad. It's a complete theft of High Speed mixed with Flash. Even the posts are in the same place.

That's all well and good but the game is clunky and I wouldn't exactly call it's already-been-chewed Addams Family ruleset "deep". It just doesn't play as well as Wwind which is one of the best playfields of all time. And it has a fantastic ruleset that complements it.

You guys are pretty easily impressed. I'll admit the dino is a fantastic gimmick but the rest of the game is garbage compared to Whirlwind which is an absolute masterpiece.

But yeah, dumb 6 ball multiball and DMD...

C'mon!!!!!!

This is where it gets silly. It's not "all I can say." Super gigantic 13-year old niece eye roll here.

It's clunky. The flippers are bad. They stole a classic Williams layout but it's saddled with the garbage DE mechs so the game doesn't "shoot" nearly as well.

The pop bumpers suck. It's Data East so that's all to be expected.

It's also super ugly, the playfield art is atrocious. Again, it's a DE so that's a given.

The sound is pretty bad, tons of annoying recycled sounds from all those mediocre and bad games. Incomprehensible speech (I still have NO fucking idea what the guy is saying when you get the skill shot. Domma Hanne?!) Again, it's a DE so what do you expect?

There was a time when Milli Vanilli was selling 10 million albums a year so the popularity of a particular club isn't really going to impress me much. Jurassic Park is absolutely one of the best licenses of all time so what do you expect?

And this is coming from someone who CURRENTLY OWNS a very nice Jurassic Park. Great condition. ANybody buying?

Huh I hadn't figured that out. Forgive me if I'm skeptical of the taste of someone who has been actively searching for a Millionaire for years.

I absolutely love that "club popularity" is supposed to be the barometer of whether or not a game is good now.

Super gigantic older sister eye roll here!

NOBODY CARES

I'm gonna start bumping the Popeye club thread daily so it becomes a better game.

Clearly I don't. I've stated many times that if you think "club popularity" means a game is good, I do not respect your opinion.

BOOOM!!

"you care" argument annhiilated!

I know you are but what am I?

I'm also going to lunch. But I'll be back!!!

I'm thinking chinese. What are you getting?

"serious question" here (I always wanted to type that!):

What is the game trying to say when you get the skill shot?

Auto matic?

rotto magic?

Otto babbit?

What in god's name is that callout?

And why is Gary Busey on the screen when you get a ball save?

Also what do you think of my lunch? Not bad for 8 bucks!!!

I took the pic and decided eating would be more fun than beefing on pinside!!!

Stand by that decision.

Your guess is as good as mine.

DCS it ain't.

System 11 sound quality it ain't!

Gorgar sound quality it ain't!

Data East quality it is!

You've gotta be shitting me!
