I'm not, but I wouldn't mind one of these - it looks interesting.

dont know much about this pin but being in melb kinda cuts the option down anyway i guess. Can anyone comment on gameplay etc?

I have played one and it did not do much for me.  Interesting looking layout but pretty lame to play IMHO.  I considered buying it to part it out %.%

cheers
Ian

Not a bad game, but you do tend to lose interest after a while. Ironically, I was offerred a Spy Hunter for $650 5 years ago and knocked it back !

So either you really don't like it, or your version of bargain pin is a lot lower-priced than mine!

It is reasonably priced for a game that is not collectible or desirable in my opinion. I do rate it lower than the average collector.

$650 sounds like a bargain (but that was 5 years ago) - for $1200 I would consider it if I had nothing on my wishlist and cash to burn.

But as they say, I have other fish to fry (and no, that is not a hint).

Never played the game, so my opinion wont count for much.

However, watching the video below. It looks pretty dull. Shoot up the middle to the top flippers, smack a few stand ups. Then send it down the maze on the left. Rinse and repeat.
