None of those belong in the bottom 4. South Park, Bugs Bunny, Stern's Indiana Jones, and Hercules would be a more fitting selection.

Quoted from Fulltilt:

WHAT?? South Park?? OMG... they killed Kenny!

Yes, South Park. It's easily a bottom five DMD game. It's totally shallow, annoying, and there's not a satisfying shot on the entire playfield.

This is true. This is objectively true, dang it.

Quoted from Rat_Tomago:

EM's...Any pointy people early 70's Williams games. Not only are they ugly but 9 out of 10 of them play like complete shit. There is a reason why these games can be found for 100-200 dollars complete and working.

OXO is basically my exception to that rule, but yes, that was a bad time for Williams.

Quoted from LesManley:

I can't remember ever playing Popeye and I can't think of another 90's era pin that I haven't played. That said, I think I would like it cause I have been told it is a pretty hard game...which is probably another reason people say they don't like it.

It's usually out at the pinball shows. I don't like the sight lines on the game and just find that it's clunky.

Quoted from suave84:

I just added a Gulfstream to my lineup and i quite enjoy it. My 2 year old loves it too i think because it plays slower so he can understand it.

Ah yeah, that's a good one too. I almost pulled the trigger on Gulfstream not too long ago, but it needed too much TLC to get back to full working order.

Quoted from chrisjens2:

I agree with your Jurassic Park. For me personally, JP is the worst by a mile. I bought one from a local "Flipper" in Southern California (one of the brothers, let's call him MR. "B"). He lied about the condition and cleanliness. When I got it home we didn't even get 2 games on it before it was broken. After that the spiral was straight down. It would be broken for a week or so until I ordered repair parts. As soon as the parts arrived, the repair was made and the kids all gathered around to watch it break somewhere else. This went on and on and on several more times until I got rid of it. Seriously, I hated that machine so much I wanted to throw it off a cliff. Bottom line: I don't like JP - 1. because the one I had was a P.O.S. and in constant need of repair, and 2. because I feel ripped off by MR. B who wiped the game off with windex and called it a fresh shop out.

That has nothing to do with the game though...

Quoted from Miknan:

I'm a huge fan of The Rolling Stones so it pisses me off that Stern made such good games for AC/DC and Metallica and TRS get bashed so badly. I only played it once when I was in Vegas and although it looks so cheap I kind of liked it.

It's a bummer of a game, yeah. It's bad when the licensed artwork that you have to work with is the same artwork that they gave up to the Monopoly board game. Also, Stern was struggling at that point and budgets were thin.
