What forensicd, and everybody else in this thread will say
It really is one of the most fun & replayable games ever made, and nothing else plays like it.
Quoted from forensicd:Not even close, White water is by far the best of the machines.
Yup.
Quoted from sebess:All of them around the same price! 2.100 usd white water and back to the future, 2500 popeye
Holy crap! In the US whitewater is worth way more the other ones. What's it gonna for these days ...like $4000? Popeye's a hard sell at $2000...BTTF should be about $1000 but goes for more sometimes due to theme.
Quoted from sebess:All of them around the same price! 2.100 usd white water and back to the future, 2500 popeye
Yeah, with those numbers, WW all day.

Argentina is a weird place.
whitewater is one of the better games out there period!!!! the other 2 on your "want" list are distant B- titles
popeye is absolutely horrible. I never understood why they put the 3 pop bumpers under that upper playfield - I know there is a window there but with the angle its at VS your standing height.. YOU CANT SEE ANYTHING.. to switch lane lights or appreciate the ball popping around between the poppers! FIRE THE DESIGN/ENGINEER TEAM!
white water is by far the best of those 3 but Popeye is underrated, its not as bad as some make it out to be
Quoted from DefaultGen:Argentina is a weird place.
Yes Argentina is a crazy country! Last week I sold a Addams family like new for 5000 usd
people were asking.. what the numbers are to make a decision.. DOESNT MATTER.. obviously the popeye and back to future will be lower.. SAVE that $$ and wait and build up enough to buy a whitewater..
that game is a BLAST!!!-- if I had to be critical, the only thing I think it lacks is audio quality. kind of low and muffled out and the bojangle background with the call outs.. ehhh just lacks a little compared to other WPC A/B+ titles
whitewater is the ONLY one I would even entertain.. yeah, harsh.
Quoted from timtim:I think you know the answer by now
yeap I think Ill go tomorrow for the white water, I know I have to change all the lamps, rubbers, repair a few things, but in the whole I think is in a good condition.
Quoted from pinnaf:whitewater is one of the better games out there period!!!!
True

You don't need to see the pops. You can see the roll overs.
Quoted from pinnaf:FIRE THE DESIGN/ENGINEER TEAM!
You don't have to. He died almost two years ago
I honestly thought this was a joke when I read it. White Water by a mile, not even close. For me White Water is a top 5 all time game. Your game has the topper too which is tough to replace if missing.
That's an excellent price for a White Water in any condition. From the photos it looks like you'll have a nice player's condition game for little money.
Quoted from pezpunk:White Water, unless it is literally on fire
1. Remove dome from topper.
2. Let waterfall put out fire.
3. Keep playing.
5. Cross fingers that fire spreads to BTTF and Popeye.
