Quoted from drfrightner:OMG you can't be serious... I'd rather have a chipped Godzilla made by JJP or Stern than have Spooky make Godzilla. And I'm being dead serious! I love Godzilla and I want a great themed game, at least that is what I'm hoping for... I don't see Spooky being up to that task. The best pinball theming company hands down is JJP, who would debate that. Stern is second for sure, after that hard to say because most of these other companies went out of business.
I have to hand it to Dutch they had my attention, they had some creative people in that group, what a shame. Chicago hasn't shown they can do an original game so they don't get a grade, although Monster Bash looked pretty awesome. I think American Pinball can get there... they have potential. Even this new Circus Carnival game is better themed than anything I've seen from Spooky. Hey that is my opinion and I'm sticking to that. Alice Cooper is a nice step but that artwork was for the most part provided to them by Alice Cooper. I have nothing against Spooky but they're not high on the theming chart not in my opinion.
I want to see JJP or Stern do Godzilla... no I'm going to take that back. I WANT TO SEE AMERICAN PINBALL DO GODZILLA because I want to see them license something and see what they can do! C'mon American you can do it!
No offense but you sound like you're passing judgment on pinball companies you seem to know little or nothing about or haven't even played their games.
Example: "although Monster Bash looked pretty awesome" would suggest you've never played it, "Even this new Circus Carnival game" You didn't even get the name right, its actually Cosmic Carnival. Lastly I can guarantee you have never played Alice Cooper or you wouldn't have passed judgment so easily.
I get where you're going with this, but you seem largely misinformed.
Go out and play those machines and report back.
