Might be picking up a hook on mon .Any thoughts ? Whats it worth ? How fun is it ? Is it worth adding to the lineup? Please voice your opinions and what I should look for when i go to see it. THanks guys . PEACE!!!
 
800-1200 imo, fun game, but it shouldnt be your only pin!, its a c tier pin imo, hearing hook hook hook all the time gets annoying, check the ramps,
 
yep, not a very bad game, although hitting the center ramp all the time can get boring after a while (but score you many points)
main disappointment are the sounds which really become very repeating after a dozen of game.. BANGARANG !

Agreed! But the center ramp is very cool! As others have stated the voice calls are HORRIBLE! I hate that damn "crowing" sound! The main music theme is pretty cool; it's got that Data East vibe to it....
 
Yeah, as mentioned, typical data east with the highly repetitive sounds. Very annoying sounds at that. I had one for 2 weeks, hated it and sold it.

Neat idea, just.. bleh its a DE
 
In all fairness that pin is fun - but as an only pin it won't last long. No need to rehash how the sounds are repetitive as hell and how the game play is meh for play :)

Price wise of course condition plays the main factor but some where between $600-$1000 is pretty common.

I will say be very careful what you pay as that is a title that isn't very popular and you could be sitting on that for quite awhile when you go to sell it.
 
Good to know guys. Thanks for the info. It wont be my only pin I have a Roadshow so this will be my second one ,but i was thinking of getting it to flip it . Havent pulled the trigger yet but the price seems really good. Thanks again .
 
The sounds don't bother me at all and I have had the pin for over 6 months now and still love playing it. Also maybe mine is missing the center ramp because I have one of the left and one of the right with a big ass skull in the middle.

I am a huge fan of the movie and Peter Pan so it works for me. Yes some more sounds would have been nice, but blame movie actors for wanting too much damn money for a sound bite!
 
One of my first DMD pins in the arcade. It was a lot of fun at the time, probably because I didn't know anything else. Now that I've played a few since, the experience has been strictly so-so. Might appeal to kids.
 
I really like hook and think it's underrated. If I could get one for the prices mentioned in this thread I would jump on it.

Holy shizoly me and Senior Canadian agree on something!

I think the only thing I wish they would have done is put in some more sounds from the guy playing peter pan.
 
IF I can grab this at $600 do you guys think its worth it? and if so what do you think i can sell it for ? I know ill sit on it for a while.
