Yeah......NBA FB......whats the point?!?! I really like Gomez games too...but that game, I find, really missed the mark of a pinball game.....


I haven't played it much, but the idea of being the Champion and having your Initials 30 times in 1 game is amusing!!  hehehe. I like the Pass around the saucers and the ramps that circle around to the basket are cool. It would be nice if the players weren't all retired!   This game begs for a software update!! And from what I have seen you need to set this game up to be as hard as possible.

Gold Wings is a Terrible game (Is that to old?) and I found Jokerz to be the same way, just... Why?

Worst pinball games?... Huh, there are bad pins?
These words you use make no sense to me.
The only pins I dislike are the ones that I can't afford. You can review the current MAACA classifieds for my latest list.

I have to make the distinction between what I don't like and what is overall bad... not easy.

Pretty much all brands of pins have their share of turkeys... If I stick to post-1985, here is my list:

Gottlieb/Premier:  Gold Wings... all while Genesis and Spring Break have worse art, the gameplay on Genesis is quite decent and acceptable on Spring Break... Gold Wings is just too segmented...

Bally:  Party Animal. While Hard Body is just as ugly (they were ugly in the 80s... ) the sound on Party Animal makes your ears bleed. Just overall bad. To put this in perspective, williams released F-14 just before and Space Station just after. I would even say that this pin was even worse than what Gottlieb was releasing.

Williams:  I still say Star Wars Episode 1... I have said it before... feels like you are playing a movie commercial. The ball is always stopped to watch a movie segment, it is really annoying. If you are going to have a limited number of shots (like just the damn center...) at least make it animated and entertaining like Revenge from Mars...

Recent Stern:  Roller Coaster tycoon. Officially the only pin I ever walked away from. Just plain bad.

Sega:  I did play a couple of them... not enough to judge thoroughly, but I do find South Park to be bad overall.

Data East: Playboy 35th anniversary... they just didn't seem to invest in the pin, and too much on the license.

Capcom:  I can't say that they are BAD... just different. Yeah, Breakshot isn't all that great, but they just tried to revive an old-school feel to pinball. Flipper Football? Sucks the big one when playing alone, but when I played it at Frosken's place with a beer at hand and a competition going, I found it rather addictive.

I could add a Zaccaria, Game Plan and Playmatic to name a few, but they were quite minor in the pin-field...


Retiring soon...
