Okay.
You initially replied to someone talking about Sega Pinball. Randos love to bash Sega Pinball, yet games like Frankenstein, Baywatch, Batman Forever, and so on tend to be cited as pretty decent tables and are commonly found in lineups. I replied with the honest-to-God truth, because the way Sonic fans interact with their series is incredibly unhealthy. You replied, albeit to someone else, with typical "eeeeeveryone hates Sega Pinball"-type rhetoric, and even followed up with a comment that could only possibly apply to the Stern of today. My reply to that is the only way that anyone who's been seeing anything that's been going on with this hobby in the last, what,
twenty years could have replied. You then decided to reply with not only the pointless snark I quoted, but also singled out multiple games that people traditionally like, except maybe Space Jam? Also, you have no idea how to use the quote function. Look, the problem's not over here.
I'll be honest, I've never seen a Space Jam, but it's probably a lot better than what those clowns review it. Seriously, the IPDB and Pinside "communities", if you can even call them that, aren't really to be trusted. In particular, that 5balls5cents guy can fuck off, I've seen so many of his trashy reviews over the years, and I don't think he's ever enjoyed a game of pinball in his life. Other pretty good games that have 7.2s on IPDB:
Nine Ball, which is godlike;
Data East Batman, which is pretty darn good;
Bally Star Trek, which is simply a solid example of that era; and of course, freaking
Pharaoh, one of the best early '80s Williams. Nobody knows how to rate this shit. Also I can't believe those are all exactly 7.2s, they deserve WAY better, holy shit.
edit: man please don't tell me that
you're 5balls5cents or something
