I’ve not seen Danesi’s new game yet.
 
I quite like TNA when I’ve played it previously but not sure I’d value one at over 5 grand which realistically means I’ll never own one plus it’s a reissue rather than something new.

The rest leave me absolutely cold.

Scooby doo. Great theme but not for the price. I might have wanted one if it had come out from stern or JJP but one spooky game is enough for me.

All the others are just blah. Pulp fiction just looks dated to me. I know it’s meant to be retro but where is the innovation in any of them? (admittedly FF is trying to do something new but it’s a ****ing ugly game).

Prices keep going up but there’s not a comparative increase in quality/features.

I think my mojo is well and truly missing. The biggest range of games I’ve ever seen has just come out and I just feel nothing for them. 😢

What would your dream theme be?

That’s a big part of my problem. There is nothing left in mainstream culture for me that really floats my boat. I’m not holding out for anything so I’m looking for innovation.

I don’t do blockbuster films or large bands. There is never ever going to be a niche band theme. Alice Cooper finished my run of bands that I realistically hoped for.

GOT really should have had a big screen.
Can you imagine how good that would have looked? Instead it has a crappy DMD If it came out as a vault edition then I’d probably get suckered and go all in for a LCD reissue.
TWD was done well so those two were ticked off my the list.

I’m just feeling jaded. Where is the innovation? Look at how different TAF was when it came out. And T2. And later TZ and MM.
The first time I played AFM it blew me away despite it now looking a bit pedestrian.

I think I’m looking for something that doesn’t exist. I’m looking to capture the same excitement I felt walking up to a TAF in the early 90s for the first time and I don’t think that is ever going to happen again.

I’m really happy that so many people are pumped for Pulp Fiction but for me it’s a bit “emperors new clothes”. I think this says far more about my state of mind than the game though if I’m honest.

Rules as always will be where it’s at. I suspect if we fast forward 5 years I’ll be desperately searching for one of these games.
 
Sounds like you need to design your own @johnwhitfield.

There is only so much you can do, even the new designs have stuff copied from earlier games with a slight twist..

How often do you play your games?

Worst it’s ever been. 😢. There are at least 4 games I haven’t even plugged in since I last had a meet here last May. I’d guess on a good week I now play less than 10 games. Some weeks I don’t play at all. Things might pick up in the summer when it’s warm enough to go down the garden.
I’m in a major slump. That’s a lot of real estate space not to be used.

I know you like your music. Surprised Pulp Fiction isn’t of interest..
 
maybe hanging on for : sound of music, south pacific or the rocky horror pinball show

Me: i’m expecting good things from
the bay city rollers or shawaddywaddy
 
Musically Pulp Fiction interests me. Not so much as say one based on a 60s garage theme such as Nuggets or Pebbles but I can’t get past the half eaten burger 😱

I’ve actually never been able to bring myself to hate musicals. I’d probably love a Rocky Horror game or one based on Hair, Paint Your Wagon or Rock of Ages (the last I suspect is an idea that has been previously explored)

Do you not think that 'Rock Band' the video game would of made a great pinball theme.
Then you could have loads of artists and not just one.

Can't rank, some tie.

1= Galactic Tank Force , just beautiful
1= Pulp Fiction, just class
1= TNA CE, just modern classic
1= Foo Fighters, play loud
5th Scooby Doo, probably a bit to complex for my skills
6th Godfather, cool, but too bling for me.
7th Final Resistance, I like, but too techy for me.
8th James Bond 60th would be 1= but hey, too expensive for mortals
9th James Bond, not really doing it for me.
 
1. pulp but not in on one as 2024 a bit too far away for me 😂
2. Scooby Doo - I’m in on one and hope it comes this year.
3. GF - was considering but mate across the road bought one so win win.
4. Foo - may get a pro down the line some point

GTF not considering until I see the game but high hopes for it.
 
1 - Pulp Fiction (retro, music, looks and sounds perfection, no LCD screen)
2 - TNA CE (retro, audio, single level, fast games and multiplayer)
3 - Foo Fighters (artwork, sound effects, alien theme, no video footage, animations, the only music pin that stands out for me atm)
4 - Galactic Tank Force (shot in the dark but could be great, hoping this jumps up a place but may end at the bottom, need to see more)
5 - James Bond 60th (for single level and reels, fast games, multiplayer, but wish the Connery Bond was in this design)
6 - Scooby Doo (great theme, looks great and should be higher up the list most likely, be a great family pin)
7 - Bond (retro feel, connery, like the yellow pro cab, would look great in a corner of room even if you never use it)
8 - Godfather ( to much going on and overwhelming for me)
9 - Final Resistance (could be amazing and possibly will be, but I get virtual pin vibes from this multimorphic stuff)

1. TNA CE - have put money where my mouth is.
2. Pulp Fiction - great theme, amazing topper, great modern retro, unsure about gameplay
3. Scooby Doo - great theme, looks fun, loads of toys, love upper playfields, but an unoriginal fan layout with wood-chopping modes
4. Final Resistance - Scott Danesi, funky innovative tech, but you need a P3
5. The Godfather - love the theme, great toys, atmospheric, unfortunately the same complex rules and sparkly RGB puke lighting as multiple other JJP pins
6. James Bond 60th - love Elwin pins, looks a brilliant shooter, let down by the assets, graphics and price
7. Foo Fighters - fighting aliens, new designer, but modern Sterns are all starting to look like the same pin
8. James Bond - pretty average pin (have played)
9. Galactic Tank Force - put off by the crazy toy cab and the complete lack of gameplay reveal. Haven’t enjoyed any American Pinball games, but am open to being surprised.
 
James bond is bringing in new players here ie locals who don't normally venture into the arcade. It does need more and more updates

Foo F looks excellent and will get here in a sensible timescale

Scooby was a no brainer for me as just looks so much fun

Dennis Tank? Looks fun , great to give it a go

I'm not a Jersey jack fan boy but more pinball is good

Pulp fiction ticks a lot of boxes but the never ending CGC waiting game has put me off .

Not seen any gameplay if the American Pinball one yet so probably unfair to say.
