Zach: one of my favorites shows of all time is Full House Me: everything all makes sense now

New Munsters code 1.10 (released 12/25/21) almost makes it a brand new game. New code introduces new modes (chattering teeth), changes the way grandpa works (now stacks with other modes), and added a bunch of new callouts and animations. New review?

I agree with the call outs - I like when call outs tell you what to do

Zach I think you should still rate games. I don’t care if you sell them. I don’t think there is anything wrong with more reviews.

@@EquipmentReviewer Plus, on the other hand, that could potentially lead to conflict of interest and obvious bias in the review - not saying that Zach would ever do that, but I’m just saying in general.

Thanks guys. I agree its very possible to be approachable and deep at the same time.

I would have to agree. Show is better with both of you doing the review. I think as long as people know you sell them its okay. Great job on editing ! I bet its a lot of work but it really makes a difference and your work is appreciated.

I've been eager to see this review. Especially with it being Greg's first NIB machine. Also, strangely enough, I just today discovered Cary's channel. Funny coincidence.

@@SDTM haha, that's good. I wrote that before I saw the whole video and I'm getting a good laugh watching you try and not always succeed at holding back your 2 cents on these reviews. It's not too much different from your normal reviews, so I'm enjoying it:)

Another great episode, I like the new weighted scores, I would have like to add side categories that do not add to the total score but just as a side note, one would be build quality and the other value. I mean these are both legit issues as a home buyer we all consider.....so you can score them but not add them in for the final score......anyway, good work gents, maybe one day I will catch you guys at a show and buy you two a drink.

So do you guys have any of the older Williams/Bally machines? I grew up with Whirlwind, Medieval Madness, and Tales of The Arabian Nights. I'd love to see reviews of those!

Now that I've finished the video...I'm a fan of this pin. A main reason is because the game is approachable for new players. The shots are fun, it is fairly easy and straightforward to get Herman multiball running, it has that classic horror/comedy theme that works so well for pinball, and it is just beautiful to look at. I'm a player that always tries to encourage new people to play. The Munsters makes new players feel good about making some objectives and offers a great replay value for them BECAUSE they were able to attain them. As the player experience goes up you start to notice the subtle nuances in the code that can make for higher scoring opportunity. This machine has something to offer all skill levels, which is really what growing the love of pinball is all about.

Straight Down The Middle: a pinball show Id get a Monter Bash Remake instead. Thanks for the reviews.

I have had my Munsters for several weeks now to me the issue with the Code is that there is only one way to play this game to get points. That is saving your super jackpots and then collecting them. That makes for a boring game IMO at this point in time I am not a fan of the code in its current state, I would like to be able to play out some modes for mode points not for jackpots. I just don't enjoy playing the modes in this game right now, hopefully something will change with it as the code matures. IMO there is no complexity to the code, you save your Jackpots then collect them that's it. I would rate the code at C or C- right now.

Great show as always guys. Thanks for asking me to give my opinion on Munsters. I think it says a lot about Zach's integrity when he refuses to review a game that he is selling to avoid a conflict of interest. The upside of the quality of pinball machines being made now is they require a ridiculous amount of detailed scrutiny to find negatives compared to just a short while ago.

There was one of these on location which is rare here. I beat the snot out of the game quickly and it felt bare and cheap. Art was wonderful. Seems like a great tournament game but not a home game

Love your shows and channel and everything you both bring to the hobby! You may rub people the wrong way using the word "uppity" in your episodes. It is worth googling the word and seeing why.. someone has been fired from the company I work at for using that word..

I like the idea of Spot, and the right ramp flip up style. The premium adds the lower playfield which is very different to me, but I'm not sure it will be as fun as it looks. I agree with Greg. Call-outs are important. Ghostbusters has Ernie Hudson doing a fantastic job with the call-outs and they are one of my favorite parts of playing GB.
