I had one, cleaned it up real nice, and then played it for a few weeks. Couldn't get rid of it fast enough after that. The game bored me to tears as I found the boat ramp far too easy to hit and none of the other shots really felt all that great to me. The music is pretty bad as well, and that never helps a game's case.

Nah, it's a weak game, even in perfect condition. Terribly unbalanced scoring, really annoying music, and just devoid of satisfying shots (how many times can one combo that dang boat anyway?). For the price you pay for one, there's easily 100 other games that are better in the same or lower price range.

I had mine, got it all polished up and nice, and then quickly realized that it was a poor fit for a long stay in a collection. I think I enjoyed it for all of a week before it wore thin on me. My wife liked it for maybe a couple of days and quickly started to ignore it.

Give everybody $2,000 and see how many come back with Fish Tales.

Well, that's just extra silly.

After only a couple of weeks I was already abusing the scoring, and there's a good reason you don't see it in tournament play.

There's no reason to go after the Super Jackpot. Just keep control and bang away at the easier, safer shots that don't require nearly as much work.

I don't like the game. I'm not saying that it's totally unenjoyable. I just personally got bored with it extremely fast, and I was hoping it provided a whole lot more bang for the buck. I traded a HS2 for it, and it just felt like a noticeable step down.

The only pinball machines I'll say are totally unenjoyable are South Park and NFL. They're terrible from top to bottom.

All good reasons.

Same for me and Bride of Pinbot, I guess. Well, the rules are VERY easy to master on BoP, but I still love it anyway.
