    Quoted from 85vett:

    Wasn't he told to make the game simple? For some reason I thought I read it around here somewhere or on one of the many podcast. I'm not a huge fan of the code but will play the game on route periodically as I like how it shoots. Me personally I wanted more from it.

    I like mine. Could be great. Video clip integration is not good and so redundant compared to Elvira and BM66 for example

    It might be fine for “on route”. Then just sell to location operators and not HUO

    It can be both “simple” and “complex/deep” like the games I mentioned that Lyman did

    Maybe they told Dwight that, but I won’t be buying any Dwight games for HUO unless it’s completely done up front or there is a guarantee

    Even then I might wait it out and not buy. I still have my GBLE and not interested in waiting 2-3 yrs to finish code

    Lyman might take longer but he does it in stage and they are materpieces

    When you are dropping $9k on a pin it should go without saying code will be deep and great OR don’t sell an LE version. Just make pros

    Quoted from 85vett:

    I don't know. To me it just has to be fun. My deadpool isn't what I would call deep but its fun. I spent $9k on my Tron LE and I think we can all agree it's not deep, but its fun for me to play.
    I think sometimes we over think things and think deep equals fun when a less complex code can be fun and a nice change sometimes. Another example would be Iron Man too. With munsters it just doesn't have the spark (at least to me) that the other shallow games do. I do enjoy shooting the ball around on it though thus why I'll stick a couple bucks in one on route.

    I agree with the “fun” part

    Munsters is still a lot of fun for a few games every now and then and then on to something else

    I never did go for Tron, IM or Deadpool to own them. Although DP is on my want list

    But you are correct, it doesn’t have that “spark”

    STHLE does have the spark

    Surely after Munsters they will let Dwight loose on TMNT

    Quoted from CrazyLevi:

    Munsters was like that phone they made with giant number keys and a simple display and no bells and whistles.
    It was intended for very old people who can't see very well. Nice and simple.
    Doesn't have much to offer anybody else though.

    Lol. I Guess that’s right. They can’t all be masterpiece games although that’s what I’ve come to expect from Stern as good as their recent games have been
