There are only 1000 JJP Pirates of the Caribbeanss. I think more games should copy the unique code on that game. The way the gold system and gold loop works, and the way the chapters-multiball-wizard mode system works too.

Whats the consensus of DMD minigames?

Depends on the game, really. Some are okay like Tales from the Crypt, some are boring like Indiana Jones (I really wish they would have made some kind of revolver duel using the ball launcher instead of just going left to right).

I understand why some people think it has no place in pinball.

My favorites are:
Liars Dice from JJP PotC
Ghostbusters
The Star Wars (Stern) one is good-ish.
There are a number that are good novelties but don't have that much replay value. Simon Says from the fan-code of Cirqus Voltaire. Digital Pinball from Theatre of Magic.

And I dislike the AFM video mode, even though it's a fun idea.
And any video mode that can be memorized is bad. (NBA FB, Choose Wisely from IJ:TPA, etc)
