Godzilla?

I’ve owned an original TNA and a GNR standard. CCR is a fun game with the 3 ramp layout. I really enjoy it. I’d pick CCR- plus it has the upcoming code update

Without money involved tna is my favorite out of the 3 by a mile. Ccr is great fun but I’d probably be bored of it by day 2 at home. GNR has a great light show, that’s about all I like.

TNA is a great challenge, one more game in spades, and a blast with friends.

Well said. Of those three, I think CCr is tops, I always thought CC was underrated, even with the old code. With new code and updated mechs, easy choice.

OK, it's your thread, but why mention price at all if it's just pick one of those three games?
Price is not relevant if it's a comparison of those three only.

His first sentence says he is just gauging the pulse of Pinside as they’re all relatively the same cost. So it’s a comparison of those three, not GZ, not Bond Prem, not an HEP Flash Gordon. It’s a posted question. And it’s specifically between those three specific pins. There may be a buying decision, or may be a gauge in where the market is between a few certain games. Take it or leave it.

Wonderfully concise review of GnR. CCr is not as deep as modern releases. It’s more like the pins from the golden age of pinball, 90s, and that is not a bad thing. If that is your thing or if you need that in your collection it could be the perfect fit. A game room full of deep-as-the-ocean games makes me feel tired.

GNR not a chance
TNA way over priced for me
So I guess that leaves CCr even though I'm over CCog

G and R is not pinball. It’s a multiball jukebox. It’s horrible in my opinion.

GNR SE is tragic. Never played LE with upper PF but the SE is so sad to play.

CC is a late W/B and almost the same rules as AFM/MM; so there shouldn;t be anything shocking aboot it depth level. And that's without new code whch I do not know anything aboot.

Man this is a hard question. CCR is a great game, but it is a little bit on the easy side and is a long player. I am not a great player but I got 5 of 6 of the objectives me the first time I played and it was a 30ish minute game. Great game and should be great on location, but I think it would get old in the home environment quickly. I really like TNA, but its not for most people. Super great game to play with others and hard as nails. Has a great "one more game" feel to it and is easy to explain. G&R is beautiful and sounds great. If you like games with lots of objectives that play long, its a good game to go for. However, JJP games have a tendency to get boring for me faster than other games.

If I had the game for a month I'd say:
1. G&R
2. CCR
3. TNA

If I had the game for a year I'd say
1. TNA
2. G&R
3. CCR

If I had the games forever I'd say

1. TNA
2. CCR
3. G&R

Oddly specific, but there you have it.

I also would say from a "pinvesting" perspective that in 3 years TNA would be worth the most, followed by G&R followed by CCR. I think TNA will hold value or appreciate but G&R and CCR will go down in value RELATIVE to the value of other pins. I realize "pinflation" is a thing.

It's the rainbow of blinking lights. More lights = better game.

IMO GnR is a complete disaster.
It’s a light show with a pinball hidden somewhere in the lights.
Completely unplayable in my opinion.
TNA I can’t say anything about, haven’t played it.
CC is fun!
