Quoted from Jappie:

» YouTube video
Here's a video of my Night Moves cocktail pin I just put online for all you Premier/Gottlieb afficionados.
It's the last original System 80B-design that Premier ever built. They built it on contract for International Concepts, so it doesn't carry the Premier/Gottlieb branding. There's quite an interesting -but sad- story behind the game, of which Todd Tuckey speaks in his Youtube videos on the game.
It might not be a Premier/Gottlieb by name, but it's definitely one in every other aspect. Enjoy!

THIS is why I love Gottlieb. They made all sorts of fantastic, innovative pins. They did really weird stuff that nobody liked, and they weren't afraid! Even cocktail pins and those are nearly universally hated! (I love them) I think almost all of Premiers themes were great. Backglasses.... ugly as sin and I'd replace them with custom, proper art and sell the original to one of those collectors who loves the cheese. I love a lot of the games and the layouts but I think ones like Hard Body and Hot Shots have hideous artwork that I couldn't look at for long.

IF ANYONE ever has or comes across some really ugly, "parts machine/basket case" Gottlieb/Premier machine, I'M YOUR GUY! I would totally love even a terribly undesirable title to work on and add to the game room. I want a "weird game" collection! I'm already off to a good start with Baby Pac-Man, although I had to betray my love of Gottlieb for that one. I hope to add weird pins like Orbitor 1, Night Moves, Caribbean Cruise, Rotation VIII, Spectra IV, Mushroom World, and the likes to the mix within a year or two.
Hopefully one day I'll be renowned at "That one pinsider who's whole collection is novelty pins"

Quoted from mbaumle:

They don't care about how brutally unfair the game is, and they certainly don't care about the way those "thin" flipper feel. They just want to see some flashing lights and tons of balls moving around to make it feel like they're doing something special.

That's beginning and the end of it! People like to feel like a pinball wizard and nothing does that like having a sweet multi-ball even if it drains and turns out your score is only 10k!
In today's world I think this is even more important honestly. I don't see lots of people playing games again and again because of the "deep ruleset" I see people lining up at crap games because it's flashy and congratulates them even when they suck! That's how all them fancy new redemption games do it. Have you seen those new GIGANTIC Space Invaders games? You can play them for a solid 5 minutes and set a high score and then you get like... 2 maybe 3 tickets? If Premier was around in today's world putting out what they did in the 90's with updated licenses, of course, I think they'd be on top again.

Anyone have a sound ROM for Night Moves? My secondary ROM (the one that holds the music) got fried so now I only have partial sound effects
