I thought it was fun, both in the original EM version and the digital remake from Stern. But fun in the same way I enjoy EM games, for the simple challenge that keeps you trying 'one more time'. Cool for location, or playing your friend's, not something to drop a ton of money on, because it's not likely to last long.

I went through an EM phase and enjoyed having them, and then tired of the shallow experience and sold them. When you're in the under/over $1000 price range it's no big deal to try things out like that. $8500 doesn't do it for me, for that price I want something more. I love my TNA but I wouldn't have spent more than I did on it, for the same reason, and that game offers more imo.

Primus is definitely the coolest version, if you have the money and want a Woah Nellie get that one.

You have $17,000 lying around and Whysnow doesn't? Or, should say you did, now you've got a couple pinballs.

What's the pay to play on that Primus at Jackbar? $1 a game or so? Just curious how routing something like that works. 8500 games played to break even just seems wild to me as a business model, but I'm assuming the coin drop is just a side gig and the money is in the drinks.

Makes sense! And I hear everyone else about value of games, it's no different than hobby level collecting really. You buy into a game, but if you can trade or sell it you're getting the next one 'cheap'. So it's a sunk cost that pays back into your system really.

Trick is to sell or trade, and not just acquire more.
