It`s on the list...maybe
« on: February 27, 2009, 01:36:44 AM »
Scared Stiff....I have been putting a fair bit of coin into one at a fish n chip shop down the road.
I was hoping to get some opinions on what others think about it.
i.e. price,availability,what generally goes wrong with them,etc.
Cheers Peach  %$%

Well Angie, the frogs die. Here's one I killed at Mark's once.

Luckily, there's at least 864 replacements available!

Slingshots can be expensive to replace if broken, also boney flippers, though I'm not sure if they are back available now. Most have wear on and in front of the crate though I think there is a decal readily availble to cover this as it's very common. Also its hard to find without the red in the sides faded to pink. Good fun pin IMO

A favorite of mine. I LOVE SS nearly as much as CV.

It is a great themed pin - awesome gameplay, artwork and humor. It is a fast pin, and the goals are fairly easy to attain. Kids love this pin - mine does - he likes the spider and the frogs.

Can't say a bad word about SS - I recommended an SS to Wotto - and I would recommend it to anyone.

Hmmm, I don't think I've ever spent much time playing one. Maybe at the next meet?

I own a SS and I would never part with it/her.
There's a lot of poppycock on the 'net about the game being an easybeat, this is slightly true depending of course on your ability. No mention of the obvious fact that ANY machine can be enormously toughened up in settings and other ways.
Any criticism of SS/Elvira is completely overcome by the FUN factor. Fun to play, fun to listen to and fun to watch on the DMD.
To quote Evira "get it in there" (in your collection of course!)
