Arcade Trip! Jaws and Popeye Battle for the Seas

“He's not very menacing compared to the real Jaws. He looks like he should be busting out of the side of a seafood restaurant. Right? Like Captain D's. Come eat me.”

“I thought it was some weird like contrast of color. Yeah. And I thought we were in the ocean, but then I realized, no, I'm looking at the ocean from like a side. It's very odd. The perspective is weird.”

“It's just kind of lame that they make you do that. Because the stickers are like less than $100. So it's just put them on the premium for crying out loud.”

“It's almost like they designed it as a game, like the play field, without really considering immersing you into the world of the cabinet, right? If that makes sense.”

“There's a huge demand or maybe demand is significantly increasing for pinball and interests and people demanding themes and there's a lot of money to be made... so then companies like Stern that kind of already have the infrastructure, right, can easily say, well, we can do it. And then they do, but you have to make certain sacrifices, right?”

“We just want to see it looking like the Popeye game or something like that. Yeah, man. You know, just something interesting.”

“Popeye, really fun. We have to check it out some more... Once I get better at the upper play field, is that even fun? Yeah. Once I get better at the other thing, is that even fun? So when you're figuring out a game... there's so much to figure out.”

“It was probably the game we played the most while we were there, maybe. I don't know. I mean, Jaws maybe, but for me, Popeye felt like the most organic game that we played a lot.”
