I used to feel the same way. The premium/LE are identical as far as gameplay and toys. The LE just has some extra polish that doesn’t affect the game such as a mirrored backglass, some side art blades. The pro is no bells and whistles but from an operator standpoint, you’re not getting pinball machines for any other reason than to make a profit. So if you can save 5 grand, you’re going to take it.

I really don’t understand this opinion at all. As a consumer why would you want less options? Especially less affordable options with 95%+ of the fun?

Godzilla is more than deserving of the top spot. I've never played a better pinball game and i'll be joyously surprised if i ever do. Personally, i think Avengers Infinity Quest is a better game than Iron Maiden and Deadpool and deserves a spot on the top 10, and that Rush deserves an honorable mention. Iron Maiden won't pass the test of time, in my opinion.

@BootsORiley Жыл бұрын

i typically don't end up enjoying things that the general public finds mass appeal in, but Godzilla more than deserves the #1 spot. It's lightyears better than Medieval Madness, Addams Family, Monster Bash, Twighlight Zone, and all the great early 90s games. It's also the best of Keith Elwin's designs. The only thing i disagree with is that Avengers Infinity Quest is a better game than Iron Maiden. I was playing Iron Maiden set to free play a couple of nights ago, and i couldn't help but feel it simply will not pass the test of time.

@28russ Жыл бұрын

@@BootsORiley Damn near bought an Avengers before I founded out my name had finally come up on the Godzilla waiting list. Hoping to get one next though. Haven't play one yet but I hear it's good and about the only complaint people have about it is it's hard as hell and some can't get their heads around the rules. That and the call outs and vid aren't as inspired as they could be.

It also helps that im a massive godzilla fan, why i started playing it in the first place lol

Of "All Time"??? You mean of "recent time". These newer models wouldn't even exist had it not been for the legendary designers and games of the golden age of pinball; 1947-1977. Pinball was not invented, it has a long evolutionary history with key innovations and breakthrough ideas leading to the modern game. Along the way were some very innovative, fun playing, and gorgeous looking models, which didn't contain a single microchip.

Personally.. lcd screens do nothing for me.. unless you’re watching someone else play, you really don’t have time to follow all the animations and things that happen as you’re playing.. I just need an alphanumeric scoring device.. bells and whistles don’t make a game better.. they are just bells and whistles.. as for RGB lighting.. same.. lights do nothing for playing except alert you to what you want to shoot for or tell you if you’ve already collected something.. also.. I don’t make the list.. but pirates of the Caribbean JJP would make my list before WOZ
