Message: <blockquote data-quote="invitro" data-source="post: 135462" data-attributes="member: 446">My current hometown has literally zero pinball machines.  Well I think there's a broken Party Zone but I don't consider that pinball.  But my town -is- one of the large auction locations, so I get to play lots of machines for free one day every three months.  The auction rarely has any of the great Golden Age WMS machines.  It does always have several Sterns from 2000-present.  This is where I played X-Men, Avengers, and AC/DC.And they are the most boring machines I've ever played.  Seriously.  They have ZERO creativity.  A small computer program could've designed these machines.  They are akin to tables like Lethal Weapon (Data East 1992) and I am sure they will be remembered as such once they are no longer new; the money went for the license, and the rest of the design is just an average of recent tables.After like five plays on these duds, I never want to play them again.  If I will not play them as real machines for free, do you think I'd pay $5 to play them on computer?  No way.  I would buy Every Single One of the tables WMS made in the 1990s before these three... even Popeye, even Flintstones.  And I've bought every TPA table; well, ok, through season passes, and for competition purposes I would probably buy even X-Men if Farsight made it.  But I would be holding my nose.  And I doubt my opinion is rare.I really feel sadness and pity sometimes for people who started playing pinball since about 2005 (or whenever the 1990s WMS machines started getting rare).</blockquote>
