    I’ve owned tons of pin, maybe 60 or so and I’ve played just about everything else out there. I get tired of every single one at some point but the one I have not tired of yet is JJP PoTC, not even close to getting tired of it. I learn something new every time I play it. Usually I can develop a strategy of play, it’s a little harder for this one, a lot harder due to it being a different game every time. I can get over the new pin I’ve aquired in a few days but not this one.

    Anybody have any titles they have not gotten tired of even if it’s not yours?

    WH20. Owned it for awhile and still not bored.

    I really like that pin too

    Quoted from Bublehead:

    You only get tired of a machine because you have learned it. It has no more secrets, is has nothing but wood chopping left to offer. The designer of JJPoTC said there are 10 raised to the 23rd power (there’s a video) different ways or so that the game can serve up play, and so the likelyhood of any two games being the same is nearly and practically zero. This may be all well and good, but if that is true, how does one compete against each other in a tournament? Has anyone asked what the tournament mode does to game play or how the machine compensates when more than one player is playing at a time? And is this something that would throw a monkey wrench (no pun intended) into things when players have to play this title in competition? I don’t have a JJPoTC so I have no clue.

    It’s no different, besides, I’ve never had two of the same games on any pin anyway. In the end it comes down who had the most points. Some of that is knowing the rules the other is keeping the ball alive. The modes on JJpotc don’t really change, the timing of when they can occur and combinations do. Each mode has a possibility of 21 chapters of which only 5 are chosen (this is how the biggest factor to come up with the 3.25 sextillion combinations)

    Rating charts don’t seem to mean much to me, I find a lot of pins I really enjoy aren’t top of the charts. There are tons of great pins and a lot of VS topics, I think it’s all in the same question. What is the best pin, most staying power, best tournament pin, ect.

    Quoted from CreepyTom:

    TWD, can’t stop playing it. Shots feel amazing, code’s not bad either.

    Walking dead was a dud until the last code update, it’s a super great pin now. Amazing what code does for a pin!

    Quoted from ccbiggsoo7:

    aint been out long enough to get old, has it? how long you had it, 2 months?

    It’s been out for play for over a year if you go to expos and play it. I’ve had mine a month maybe?? I have enough time on it to know what I’m saying about it. When I have the time to play it as long as I want I usually have to stop because my back hurts playing it after a few hours. I walk away thinking I’d like to play a few more rounds. I never have that desire with any other title at this point of time on it. This game is awesome!

    Quoted from pinmister:

    JJP POTC is growing on me, have played a half dozen times and it was fun. You may still be in the honeymoon stage only owning it for a month but I agree once a game captures you, it literally draws you in. For me it is Star Wars LE and GOT Pro, I love the challenge of trying to progress further. I have owned for over a year now and still have the same excitement as the day I opened it.

    I hear you on the honeymoon phase, but that’s typically over in a week or so with me

    Quoted from pinmister:

    If Bud is giving JJP POTC the thumbs up-I need to check it out more!
    Right now I have Munsters on my Radar, and I want a Big Labowski(this hobby is more addicting than crack)

    It’s insane man, I sound like a fanboy but facts are facts.

    P.S.
    I want my ST:TNG back, still have it?
