HIT THE LEVER

This was a really tough call for me. I had to give props (and my vote) to Hitman. Those folks that designed and built that went way above and beyond. It's art and it's an exploration of suffering through lust and through longing. If you manage to complete it, it's kind of eye opening and I have to admit nothing quite looks the same. The detail and the art on the cards are top notch. I've got all of them and up to five of some of them.

Anyway, when my state banned it back in 2011 it was devastating to me. But then I realized the game had really trained me for that absence. Not having what you want is part of life and helps you appreciate what you have.

Rance did it before it was cool

I've never even played a panchinko machine, didn't know they existed outside Japan.

I agree with everything Share has said here. Thankfully, it's not banned up here in the amoral socialist paradise of Canada. One thing Share didn't mention is that this currently holds the record for the biggest-budget erotic pachinko machine with trading cards ever made, with total development costs of over 90 million dollars (most of which went into the dynamically-generated 4K CGI), with revenue to match: it currently accounts for just over 30% of the gross industry's earnings.

I think this one needs to be extended until it can get more votes. Maybe until the conclusion of the main event finals.
