Collection reduction: of this collection, what would you cut?
If you had these titles in your collection:
720
Assault - w/ Plus multi and stereo mod
Escape From the Planet of the Robot Monsters
Paperboy
Q*bert - w/ Doyle's multi
Star Wars - w/ ESB multi
Super Punch-Out!!
FunHouse
Jokerz!
South Park
And you were thinking of getting rid of 1-3 games and 1 pin, what would you cut?
I'm thinking for me it would be:
720 (hard as mofo, controls seem awkward, wondering after all these years if I ever liked the game or just loved the cabinet?)
Escape From the Planet of the Robot Monsters (not Atari's best use of Hall Effects, badly faded art nobody will ever repro properly, and has one of those annoying "no additional buy-in" deals on final levels)
Jokerz! (will never be perfect due to lack of repro stuff, and has a "double your score" shot gimmick which ruins it for most pin tourney enthusiasts)
I know it's a personal choice, but if I played all of the above games the 3 immediately above are the ones that consistently provide the least enjoyment and replay value.
Paperboy comes close to making the cut as well, but it is a pretty enjoyable title overall. I'm sure most pin guys would say ditch South Park. And a lot would just say the whole collection sucks. Opinions?
