[QUOTE="Captain B. Zarre, post: 119533, member: 2355"] Toughies! Good job with the choosing. [B]Creature from the Black Lagoon[/B] vs. Champion Pub - While CHAMP is very good in terms of original rules, CFTBL is my favorite. I'm a fan of the cheesy theme... And "S-U-P-E-R J-A-C-K-P-O-T!" never gets old. [B]Whitewater[/B] vs. Gorgar - Whitewater's awesome... It takes a few games to dive into it, but when you do, it's a great game. In Gorgar, you just try to shoot the captive hole for points. Black Hole vs. [B]Medieval Madness[/B] - Seriously? Flight 2000 vs. [B]Terminator 2[/B] - The voice of Ahnold greatly overpowers Robotic Voice #3875. Also, I love the flow and overall rules of the game. Star Trek: The Next Generation vs. [B]Theater of Magic[/B] - As STTNG is to shoot for multiball all the time, TOM is to get a huge bonus. Getting a huge bonus is much less tough then doing 10 Multiballs in a row, and I like the theme, so TOM thrills the audience with this one. [B]Ripley's Believe it or Not![/B] vs. Taxi - Deep rules mean everything to me.
