I was thinking about NF the other day and how I bought it without knowing much about it. Then after owning it thinking how fortunate I was to get it.
Has there been a game that you have gotten that either people have played down or your expectations were low, but for your tastes you found to be an exceptional game for you once owning it? |

Really likes No Fear as well, bought it a few months ago and really like it.
Did meet the maker already thou, not as hard as some others but really fun. Fast and furious.
AFM is the game i would say i was impressed by at first. I didnt chase one, i only bought it because a local friend offered it to me. Played the hell out of it, sold it because i needed money and my car wasnt selling, still miss it.. |
| Currently owning:
- Solar Fire, Medusa, Flash Gordon, (Centaur), No Fear

True not as hard as some but always a hell of a ride and ramps up nicely in the final three modes to want to attempt to repeat the journey. 
Spiderman (Stern)
I guess expectations would be high as this is a pretty well reviewed game. Was it that it didn't seem like your type of game or you just hadn't had the exposure to it at that juncture when you bought it? |

Everyone raved about it. I didn't get it. After spending some 'quality' time with it, I can see how the high praise is justified. Simple enough to understand but still challenging. I picked it up thinking that if I didn't like it, it would not be a hard game to resell (like most of us do). Big hit with the family. The only games prior, that had a cross family appeal, were Addams Family, Monster Bash and Indiana Jones. |

Picked it up as my second game ever on a whim 7 years ago at a Starburst auction, didn't remember much about it just that I thought I liked it. Still have it 7 years later and it's still one of my fav's, will never leave. |

Stern Quicksilver. I had impression for many years that game was not for me even after playing to it a lot with vpinmame. vpinmame have bad sound for classic Stern emulation but can give an idea about the gameplay. But i'm a big electronic sounds fan and like fantasy and sc-fi theme. I decided to check for classic Stern video on youtube and WOW, i asking to myself ... ''WHY THE F** I DIDN'T ALREADY BUY THOSE PINS'' and the day after i post on maaca to get some classics Stern. Quicksilver is one of the less apreciate by pinball fans but it is my special lover for that incredible sounds it have, best of all classics Stern for sounds.  |

Fish Tales. Had to buy it to get WCS94 but anticipated selling it right away because the music and theme was annoying ... ended up keeping it around for months because I didn't really want to sell it. Got into a money crunch and had to sell it. Regretted it ever since.
Other games which have lasting value that I didn't expect: Rollergames, Cactus Jack's. |
