@DarkOverord look we'd never seen either beyond just, hearing about them in passing as a thing that exists

the names are similar enough that we just thought we were misremembering when someone mentioned one and we thought of the other name

@Felthry @DarkOverord Will say the Judge Dredd pinball game has its charms, at least in virtual simulation. (Every real-world table I've played it on has been difficult. Very difficult.)

I'm not sure how one would do a Judge Judy pinball but, mm, they made a Q*Bert pinball back in the 80s so who can say what makes sense, anyway?

@Austin_Dern @Felthry @DarkOverord

Yes... but that Q-bert table is... WEIRD...

Judge Dread was always a fun table, but I did not at all understand the higher-priced special mode, years back when it was in a local comic store... it was still fun. The left-right ramp combos flowed fairly well once you got the timing down.

@JulieSqveakaroo Yeah, but I really, really liked the Q-Ber table the one time I got to play it. *Such* satisfying shots.

I've never been able to get the combo timing on a real Judge Dredd, but it's become one of my comfort games in Pinball Arcade. Have yet to try the super-mode or whatever that is in virtual form, though, oddly.

@Austin_Dern

Granted, the only time I've physically found the Q*bert table, the flippers were not very strong, so it soured my experience. It was a neat idea, though, and I won't knock them trying something different.

@JulieSqveakaroo Ah yeah, that'll wreck the game (as I remember). The one I got to play had just this sweet feeling for when to shoot the ball into that loop. And I even managed the kick-back with that second pair of flippers once, which is all you need to love a gimmick forever.

But then I'm also the guy who likes the banana flippers on 'Time Warp'.

@Austin_Dern

Oh, no worries there... I'd still be absolutely enthralled to find a good condition BoneBusters table... the emulation version is missing OneEye from the top of the upper box, and it's JUST not the same without it.
