I think IPDB has a significant influence on selling prices. So, a few really low scores can pull a machine down the rank. On the other hand it is possible that a few people might log ratings under different names and help boost a rank if it suits their purpose. I alway laugh when people on Craigslist or Kijiji say "rated 7.9/10 on IPDB, see link:"
Best way to rate a machine: Play it!
With TOPL, MPL, Allentown, White Rose, Expo, etc etc you can decide for yourself which games are really good.

 I like Austin Powers, can't help but laugh every time. Isn't LOTR just a remake of it?  |

I have to agree that that Viper Night Drivin belongs in the worst category and anyone owning one should get rid of it. What a crap game. If I had a match i'd pay the postage and mail it to you. Better yet, I'll buy it off you and do it myself.. please pm me.  booo sega...boooooo (pm me) |

When new, I heard CV was discounted like WOF. The price I heard in 1997 was $2700. Who would have known. |

Interesting thread: http://groups.google.ca/group/.....dc8/a837fa11efced1d710. Viper Night Driving (7.1) 1998 Sega 10. Nascar (7.1) 2005 Stern 10. Street fighter 2 (7.1) 1993 Gottlieb 9. Sharkey's shootout (7.1) 2000 stern 8. Star Wars Episode 1 (7.1) 1999 Williams 7. Terminator 3 (7.1) Stern 2003 6. Gilligan's Island (7.0) Bally 1991 5. Popeye (6.9) Bally 1994 4.

This list is kinda crap. There are some games on there that I think are fun. Of course there are some games on there that deserve it. I had a chance to play Batman at another MAACA members house recently and I thought it was fun. |

Cirqus Voltaire (and even more on this one...)
It's all personal taste. CV IMHO is one of the greatest games out there. Personally after all of the stuff I played TZ still remains number 1 with me and people tend to avoid it during competition like the plague. To each thier own. All I know is from the games I have had there are certain ones I go back to more often than others without any real thought about why other than I just want to play the game. CV is one of them that gets a lot of play. Main thing is throw the list in the trash and buy what you think your going to like. Maybe the list has some influence on what others would pay for a title but if your buying at fair prices who cares what the list says. |
