Women & Artwork

male player who is the large part of the demographic.
My question how many games that were total flops were missing women on
the glass and how many were hits without them? I mean commercial not
home or collector hits.
After taking time to look at the pics for Big Bang Bar...I think I see
why it is popular. It makes you wonder though that seems to be the only
non-wms pin people rant and rave about. I have a feeling that if they
were common people would go yuck! Capcom pinball :)
Im thinking of taking the non-wms SS plunge. Not with a BBB though :)

You make a good point though. I have never thought of it that way. My
wife seems to like TZ, and RFM best so it kinda doesnt fit my theory.

Okay, she's going after the male influence instead.
TZ had Rod Serling. Rod Serling is just da shit, so why she likes TZ
should be obvious. RFM has President Clinton, and well, we know that
Clinton and women are like John Rocker and stupidity: they go hand in
hand. :)

Okay, how about:
Shadow
Dirty Harry
Indiana Jones
Johnny Mnemonic
Tales From The Crypt (reaching a bit on that one!)

Ok, Keanu Reeves and Harrison Ford, but do you really think women find Clint
Eastwood sexy? And is that all you can come up with? See what I mean. And
then you gotta look at the clothes these men are wearing. That scratches
all but Harrison. We like to see a little chest too! J/K!!

From what I remember, neither MM nor TAF has a busty woman on the
backglass. Those seem to be the two top earning pins.

We've debated BBB before. It's a cool game to play, but I do agree that
some of the coolness is in getting to play a game that most people will
never get to see.

Ok, so go for it. There's lots of good pins out there, not all of which
were made by any one company. If you can't have fun playing pinball unless
it says "Williams" on it, you're missing out on a lot of pinball.

One thing I've never understood is the fact that so many RGP'ers are SO
pro-Williams, that they immediately dismiss ANY pinball that doesn't have a
DMD AND the Williams logo on it! There's many of them that appear to be
TOTALLY unaware of all of the great pins that Williams made before 1990, not
to mention Bally, Stern, or Gottlieb for that matter! I personally enjoy
pinballs all the way from the woodrails up to P2K. Personally, I like the
WMS DMD games the least, and WMS made some really great pins throughout the
'90s! It's a shame that they can only enjoy a VERY small percentage of all
of the pinballs ever made.

then if they support deep gameplay, or fun gameplay, I am in
heaven. I, personally, don't like the older EM stuff and even
some of the older SS stuff is a bit "empty" for me.. but mid-
late 80's on up is a lot of fun to me. I have an Elvira,
Earthshaker, Whitewater, Phantom of the Opera( note: Data East)
and a Stellar Wars... and I'd be HAPPY to get rid of the Stellar
Wars as noone here plays it at all, and I'm not terribly fond of
the playfield... it's... um.. boring to me.. I know, that's
almost blasphemous, but that's it..
I'm not necessariuly pro williams or anything, but I CAN say
that in my limited experience, Williams seems to have the best
feeling flippers.. other than that, I could care less who made
the pin, as long as it works, it's fun and I enjoy it. :)
