The game is colorful, the music is awesome, the sounds are cool, and you throw beer cans for fucks sake. Whats better than floating on a raft and throwing beer cans? Such a fun 2 player game, and chicks love it too. Toobin has a low price tag, and the game is FUN. Why all the hate?
 
I like the game and will probably always have one in my collection but the continues to hurt the replay value. It does get old quick as do many games that allow endless continues.

It wasn't an easy game to play in my arcade. I remember feeling cheated when I played it.

Negative energy from my past...

Chicks love this game? Is that what were doing? :D

When I turn my games on women from all over the tri-state region start buzzing around my house like bees to nectar. They tell one another about it by shaking their behinds in a hypnotic frenzy.

If it were only that way... I would have been a God in highschool.
 
Continues can be turned off, sheesh. Is that the problem? The game is too hard?

Continues are disabled on all my games that have it. They are way more challenging, and in turn way more satisfying when you become good at them on one credit/quarter. A high score on one set of lives on a game that offers continues when you have them turned off is sweet.
 
On the continue subject, I highly enjoy the fact that you can continue while playing Smash TV. You each start out with a predetermined amount of quarters, and whoever has the most left at the end wins! The girls and I have great fun with that; although I give my 13 year old twice as many quarters as me to even the playing field. Just like when she and her sister want to play the board game "Clue", I have to drink 4 or 5 beers before we even start... lol
 
I love this game!!! I played it in the arcade first and then got it for the NES. I played it allot. My wife wants one but I cannot find any in my area. For some reason Atari cabs are very elusive for me. I have been searching for a Toobin,Paperboy,and APB for the last 6 years.
 
To understand the essence of arcade gaming you must never continue.
Like, ever.

That says it right there...

Perfect example. Terminator 2: Judgment Day. I've gotten to the first "level" final boss countless times, but i've made it past that boss only a handful of times. I REFUSE to "continue" the game. REFUSE. The last game I "continued" was Turbo Outrun...and I beat the game in a about 20 minutes thereby killing the game for me. I sold it a week or two later.

I love my Toobin. It doesn't get played enough at my place because it needs a new tube. The cab is unique and should be in everyone's collection. Who cares if you can use continues. All you have to do is opt not using them if you don't want.

Well for sure the essence of arcade gaming was to make money. And surely the theory behind enabling the ability to "continue" on later games was so that one pumped more quarters into that machine.

I personally believe that if a game is no fun after a run through, it probably wasn't that fun in the first place..
 
The game bored me, so now my Toobin sits at Funspot. I think it will have a good life there. It's already been known in the biblical sense by both Blackhog and Dewman, and I am sure the amount of nerds fondling it will just keep growing. It would have just been a forgotten 'gayrage game' if I'd have kept it.
