Big Buck Hunter
ldnayman
On one hand...I like it because it's as close to an unlicensed theme
as well get. It's a hunting themed game. Like Fish Tales. Kinda. It's
also very familiar to the key pinball demo, which is people who go to
bars. Virtually every NYC bar I go to these days (as long as it aint
too "classy") has a Big Buck video game and they are making tons of
coin.
On the other hand...if I'm playing a "Big Buck Hunter" pinball...it's
probably just going to make me want to play the Big Buck Hunter video
game located right next to it.
Has Theming pinballs after popular video games ever worked in the
past? I don't recall Street FighterII, Spy Hunter, or mr. ms. pac-man
being big hits but maybe someone here knows better.

The appeal of the arcade version is...USING A GUN. Translating this
to pinball makes NO sense (other than the license probably cost close
to nothing).
...and I know there's only a few vegetarian RGP'rs, but as one - I'll
never drop a quarter in this pin or even play it for free.

It's all about gameplay for me. If the gameplay is good I will play
it. Theme means nothing if the game sucks to play. I think not even
giving the game a chance because of being a vegetarian would be pretty
shallow. I mean I think Nascar is a waste of fossil fuel, but I play
the pin. I think Johnny Mnemonic is a horrible movie, but I play the
pin. I don't care for extreme sports at all, but I have and love my
No Fear pin. I don't think playing a Big Buck Hunter vid or pin is a
ringing endorsement for anything... :)

I would hope that there might be some choices, either player selectable, or
op settings. For humorous like the moose in Breakshot, or bloody and gory
like Mortal Kombat 2. Blood on made lots more money. LTG :)

Yeah that's how I feel.. I can care less of the title of the machine

Like my BSD. I've never seen the movie, and have no desire to, but I
love the pin!

I don't watch CSI or 24 but I'd like to play them. I'm just saying,
for me personally - killing animals for enjoyment is grotesque, so I
would not play a game that depicts it in a serious/realistic manor.
I'll play Fish Tales, as it's cartoony and silly.

silly, or is made cartoony and silly, would you consider playing it then ?

Off topic a bit - I wasn't able to sleep the other night and put on
the history channel real late. Not sure what the title of the show was
but had to do with coal minors, company sheriffs, the union, and a
historic battle. The origin of the "rednick" monacker was told. Funny
to learn about it's orginal naming intent and how it is now perceived
when mentioned. Anyone know?
On topic - If the game somehow had a pullout rifle to shoot a color
DMD screen in certain modes thus combing the best of two games I might
get into it. Like others I'll play regardless of title. But, I'll play
more a title I like and may even add to my home collection. Sorry, RCT
or CSI won't be in my home nor will I keep dropping coins in them if a
SM/LOTR/BDK is sitting next to them. But that's me.

much. I would be less excited about that than even WoF.
Peee-yewwww.

For some reason this seems kind of ridiculous to me. Do you also avoid
video games that depict killing humans in a realistic manner?
Big Buck Hunter is fun, plain and simple. My only complaint is it
isn't realistic enough - there's no blood!

I like games where you eat ghosts. Wacka-wacka-wacka. :)

Cruelty to the undead!
By the way those ghosts were originally "monsters" but everyone
realized they looked more like ghosts.

I guess this explains how Keith made the transition from Stern to
iT? :-/
Sega made a far better game years ago:

You get to shoot freaking squirrels, fish, and wolves. Deer? Meh.
