Would like some board members thoughts on an Elvira and the party monsters pin. I've read lots of reviews that it's a very fun pin. What's the going rate on one in good condition etc. EVERYONE'S THOUGHTS WELCOME PLEASE. Cheers

Unfortunately, I cannot comment on the actual pin itself but I can tell you from playing the Vpinmame version that the ruleset is decent and the humor is very strong.  I understand a few state it may be on the easy side (though I might be mistaking it with Scared Stiff).

Please note that there is a world of difference between a real pin and the visual pinball/vpinmame simulation, but I thought at least mentioning the really funny humor of the game, a part that is identical in both versions, was a fair comment on its "fun factor".  Good luck with your research.

I had a EATPM for a couple of months, and it was a decent machine to play. The shots are not that tough though, even for me!  Scared Stiff is definitely far better, but its twice the price!

If you make it up to Alliston one day you can play it on location at the Nottawasaga Inn and form your own opinion.

Yeah this game is a lot of fun and would definitely like to have one in my collection some day.  My favorite, of all the System 11's I have played to date.  However, I have not tried a SOF, BK 2000 and a few others.

BK2K>EATPM IMHO

The guy is in Whitby. Laval is a stretch compared to Alliston.

BK2K>EATPM IMHO


humm......thats a question of personal prefrence.
"you can do it,  you can do it"  what's that about? the music /sound on bk2k  is a turn off for me (sounds like a workout video !!)  but thats MHO.
and id rader play with ELVIRA'S silver balls than playing with the Black Knights balls


14  pins Ahhhhh!,2 jukes,mame,table arcade,vendo39,gun game and  ROBOTRON

They are absolutely different games, BK2K is all about speed and Elvira just isn't. That said, She does look good and the Humor is good. I will definitely keep BK2K long after EATPM is gone.
