What is the worst pinball machine ever?!

[Grevier2]

Hey guy I was wondering if I could get some of you to say what you think the worst pinball machine ever is. I was googling it but I found a lot of different people saying different things. Some great looking pins too! The wizard of Oz seems to get crapped on lots but it looks so cool! Also a machine called Hercules! It was huge and uses a cue ball for a ball!

Anyway my least favorite pin so far is whirlwind. The spinny discs suck and Im not overly fond of the machine although I know its loved by many.

Hopefully I can just start a random discussion post...

Demolition Man, Funhouse, and Haunted House...

just kidding LOL. sorry

[Grevier2]

Dems fighting words Eric! Although I do know someone who wouldn't cross the street to piss on a burning Funhouse..

Found a super rare pin today online called Zingy Bingy. Look it up! Its soo funny. The pop bumpers are the all time best pop bumpers in pinball history.

[ericg]

I'm sorry I had to LOL. We can fight tomorrow when we pick up the HH. Popeye also gets shit on a lot because of its blind spots at the top or something. I will check that pin out soon.

[Grevier2]

Funny if you are talking about popeye saves the earth I was just looking at that pin as someone said it was their all time fav! I like that its a boat.

Check out the Zingy Bingy! Its got no head piece as I think its all in the back there are only two pics on pinside.

And I appreciate the help but maybe you can help us set up HH and then watch us play it since it sucks. Lol jk I know your kidding tho.

[ericg]

Yeah that's the one. I thought it was cool.

I just checked it out. What an xrated pin LOL. Very odd.

Aw don't be so mean LOL I'll just play demo man then. How's the pitch and bat btw?

[Grevier2]

Pitch and bat isn't set up yet... Ill get around to it.. lol.

I don't really wana play it till I finish the work on it.

[ericg]

Sounds good. Anyways back to shitty pins. South Park seems like a boring one once you get over the gimmicks

[Grevier2]

Ya see a ton of people are saying that but it looks great to me. I only played one once and only have about 5 minutes. I didn't get the mutli ball. I really wanted to dunk the ball in that toilet. its pretty fun on junkyard too to see it swirl around and give you a bonus.

What one person may consider the worst pin ever,one person may think it is the best pin ever.
Never go by what you hear about a certain machine,play it and judge for yourself.
I have had some really awesome pinball machines that a lot of people have said sucked.
South park is a fun game,especially if you like South Park.
Hercules has to be one of the most boring pins that I have played,ball is way way to slow

Here is a pic of Bay78 playing Hercules at Expo 2012

[ericg]

True that Malibu! Lots of people said that hurricane sucked but I enjoy it! and what a beast! that thing is huge. Why was it even made.. LOL

[Yellowghost]

True. Everyone has different opinions. However is there is a machine that virtually everyone thinks sucks..then it sucks..EVEN if some guy in Asshat, Kentucky Looooves it. I think a better of thinking of this would be..what pinball machine would you just walk right past? Even if it had free credits. Street-fighter and cue-ball wizard would be my choices.

[Grevier2]

Cue ball wizard is cool!!!!!!!!! Although I have only played it digitally. Street fighter gets lots of attack but I think it was playable. I only played the one game on Johns. For the price of the unit I think its playable. But I think Im newer so I have lower standards maybe.

To be honest I wana play every crappy game out there just as much as the good ones. That Hercules looks FUN!!!

I owned a Vector for about a month. Never again.

[Grevier2]

Vector LOOKS good.

[Zog]

Vector LOOKS good.

You're right.  I installed LEDs throughout the entire machine.  The chasers around the backglass looked great.  The gameplay was sadly lacking.  If you finally did get multiball, it was over pretty much immediately.  The top flippers were useless to hold the ball on the second level.  

Traded it for my Joker Poker.  Couldn't believe my good fortune that someone actually made that deal.

[Malibu-ss]

Yeah,I dislike Vector as well.Not for me thanks.

[Grevier2]

Joker poker seems like a very sought after game. I haven't played one though. I see a lot of people on pinside say its the only EM that could hold interest to them. However is joker poker an EM? I thought it had digital dials?

[Malibu-ss]

Joker Poker was made as an EM and a Digital.The Em is super rare though

[Grevier2]

Oh wow interesting. Is it more sought after? You think it would be less sought after as an EM but as its rare and a good game my guess is the EM is more expensive.

[Malibu-ss]

EM is worth 2 or 3 times what a digital is worth

[Zog]

Mine is a digital. Once I performed all the suggested mods, it's been working flawlessly.

[notsowizard]

I hate Baywatch pinball. Probably not even close to the worst game ever made but I've seen it many times with free games on it and I didn't even bother playing.

[Grevier2]

How could any machine with Pamela Anderson on the backglass suck? Lol I have actually seen people on pinside say they didn't like Baywatch either. Be better if hasslehoff had a burger in his hand.
