Mate of mine has an IJ that I enjoy playing when I visit, have no desire to pay $3500-$5000 for one. Had A TZ - gone. Had an Addams - gone. Had a small pinball meet recently and amongst 26 working pins STRIKER XTREME got hammered, clearly the most popular game of the night.
+1 Dave. Very enjoyable game and fun.
For me, I enjoy games I keep coming back to - something that has that 'hook' to keep my interest in a game. Sometimes it can be instant, sometimes may take a few games.
I recently played a very clean example of a Pinball Magic. This is a great game, good fun and kept me coming back. Based on the number produced - does this make it a good or bad pin? I also played a near mint Champion Pub. I had walked past this game previously at Marks 100 times and never given it a second thought. After playing it I want one. I cannot understand how this game was not a massive hit sited..(1300+ units made).
Striker Extreme - again. Sleeper of a game but enjoyable to play. Same goes for LAH. Very underrated.
I have tried and tried to get into Addams. Just can't do it. Many people love this game and they enjoy playing it. Because it sold over 20,000 units does it make it the best game of all time - or was it just produced at exactly the right time with the right features, righ theme when demand was at its greatest?
IJ - I have played it about 5 times in total. It does not do it for me but I was not a fan of the shows so I don't know whether that has any impact on it. I would still prefer two cheaper games to it.
