  1. If the developer didn't beat me I'm probably not missing the secret strategy
  2. Pretty sure the first person working there who realizes what it is is going to have that guys win Will be fun if we get a story when it inevitably comes to market within a year.
  3. Things never got better than the late 2000s iPod Nano/Shuffle Everyone's pockets must've got bigger and belts got stronger since then, because tech is so fat now. I miss when slim and tiny was a main selling point of gadgets. The FLAC players sure look like they bring on the chonk.
  4. These same groups get mad if you post something too valuable because you're only in it for the money then.
  5. https://www.reddit.com/r/gamecollecting/comments/17gla49/dont_see_this_one_too_often Someone casually and credibly posted an undocumented NWC on Reddit before shortly deleting the post. They claim to work at a secondhand shop and won't be back until Sunday. They kind of treated the whole thing like they found an Earthbound cartridge and not, you know, a nice condition NWC. So if any internet detectives want to creepily try to track down this guy's workplace, there's an unpriced NWC sitting in the back room
  6. Stern making a game with a super outdated theme that strictly appeals to wealthy boomers who casually drop $13k on brand new pinball machines for their basement? That sure doesn't sound right, hmmm.
  7. Definitely one of the educational games of all time.
  8. My top 10 would be similar to a lot of top 10s from people who like older games, so these are the top 10 games I'd pick to compete on from a tournament row. Wheel of Fortune Volley Flash Gordon Jungle Queen Wizard of Oz Creature From the Black Lagoon Meteor Wizard Eight Ball Deluxe Quicksilver Wheel of Fortune is so offbeat and challenging, no one ever wants to play it. Good players can walk away with practically zero points for the entire game if they don't get going in a mode or hit any lucky free spins. I love that in a game. Volley has a kick ass number of shots worth making, and unintentionally rewards you for precision because if you hit two targets at once, the game will only register one. It's easy to understand, fair, fun, and short. Doesn't get better. Flash Gordon, like WOF, will immediately weed out weak players and doesn't ever let you get comfortable with multiballs or ball saves. Three drop target banks, all of them matter. Pop bumpers right in the middle of the game to ensure if you flail randomly, you're just going to die. I can't look at this game without getting excited to play it.
  9. I recently sold a Future Spa to a guy who's "downsizing" to 60-70 games, but he wanted all the super widebody Bally games before he did
  10. Whoa, fancy! I really like early 80s Ballys. Flash Gordon, Eight Ball Deluxe, Frontier, Fathom, etc. I'm not a huge multiball fan and think modern games just take too long but I do like some of the really crazy ones like Iron Maiden and Wizard of Oz. We have a pinball club here but no one posts in it
  11. Every day we're losing boxes to bubble mailers and such forever. Looking at collections from the mid 2000s, so many casual collectors have near mint boxes. Now it's a real luxury.
  12. Surely an analogy that served their audience of 13 year olds well.
  13. It's aight. It's just like, sugar and sugar bound together with more sugar. I don't understand how you can hate it. Your body physiologically is like "Aw yeah, that's the stuff, Hostess".
  14. I did say Videomation is strictly better than Color a Dinosaur, so in a way I said a good thing about it.
  15. Well, the internet. You guys don’t watch 10 hour long pinball livestreams? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXJHaQEFY04
  16. I'm a bigger fan of Silent Hill 1, maybe because I played that as a kid and played SH2 long after people had hyped it to the moon. I mean like, half of this game is running around checking which doors are unlocked. I think perhaps games in other horror genres like Darkwood or TLOU are better overall at combining a fun game with the atmosphere and story. 7/10
  17. No, the colonizer one in Williamsburg. Pantheon was crazy Going during Halloween for the local-spooky-woods-esque haunted houses was a bad move.
  18. Event Horizon is so in the horror top 100. I don't understand how Paul W.S. Anderson's career turned directly into mediocre schlock after making that. I guess he's rich and doesn't give AF
  19. Maybe I have to watch Session 9 again. I always see that people like it, but me and wife thought it was pretty damn slow. It was just a random Netflix movie we had no expectations for. Maybe it just has Rosemary's Baby energy.
