I almost bought one of these here in Arizona for 1800, however, someone was selling the Corvette Pinball for the same price (well talked them down to it). Haven't played the Hook game, but it still looks a lot of fun. It's weird because Hook is ranked 262 on pinside website, but it looks nothing like the other games that are ranked that low. It seems it should be ranked higher for the fun factor.
It's not a popular game but I think it's fun, chaining the jackpots off the alternating ramps is pretty satisfying! Especially since Chad has fixed a lot of the bugs in the code.
People hate no the 'bird sound' that tends to spam quite often in the game. That alone seems to have given it a bad reputation. This seems to be the one consistent thing I hear from Hook detractors. It seems less spammy in this code update though... Might be the thing it needs to put it on peoples radar.
