The level of artwork and creativity from Stern in 2012 has surpassed the nineties Bally/Williams games by a long long ways now IMO.
I recently went to a collectors house, stood and looked at the new line up of Sterns, sitting next to the cookie cutters of the B/W nineties games.
The 2012 Sterns made the B/W games look old, dark n slow...and ofcourse imo, over rated and still over priced for games getting on to 14 to 20 yrs old.   

Great to see AMD getting some games in Jan, all positive stuff.

 

That's the funniest thing I've heard for a long, long time ! Photoshopped artwork VS the B/W titles like CV, Scared Stiff and even Black Knight 2000 ? Stern's artwork has always looked cheap and rushed. In fact, you agree with me (AC/DC) ;

"I reckon the artwork everywhere on this pinball looks very cheap n nasty x 100. Colours are just yuk n crappy. Sorry STERN. You got it very wrong again !"

Seriously, Stern are so far behind with their artwork, they cannot compete with artwork done 20 years ago. That's a fact.

Iron Man is probably the exception. If it had a third flipper you could compare it with Bally / Williams games made 20 years ago.
