Thanks to everyone who voted on my last poll. Looks like RoboCop has been eliminated. Now I want to know, if you had a choice between Fire! and Police Force, which would you choose?
*reading comprehension warning*
"None of the above" is not a choice.
Thanks!
Quoted from Whysnow:robocop!
end of discussion
You might be right! Have never played it, so I guess it could come back from the dead!
Quoted from alleycat-pinball:I agree with freeplay40, get them both. Pay the crud out of them and sell one off if you decide to.
I wish I could! Pinball fund is a little tight. Hopefully the guy has trouble selling all of his machines, and as soon as my account is replenished, I'll go back for another!
Quoted from dmbjunky:I talked to that guy about Robocop early in the summer. I was going to buy it for $1600 but that was before one display went out. We could never get lined up so I could pick it up. I'm hoping no one else picks it up till I can make it there but it will be awhile till I have the funds. He's a school teacher that was going to start a family center and had a bunch of machines.
Yeah, I saw one display was out. Bummer. I used to own a Monday Night Football, and currently have a Jurassic Park. Not sure I want to go the Data East route again.
Fire! is a cool game to play. Never played Police Force, but it looks interesting. Plus, it's a Python game!
Quoted from chrisjens2:You should just buy Pinwow's Fire. I want it but shipping nightmares have me just buying within driving distance. It seems every pinball I order gets delivered by Ace Ventura himself.

Apparently that Fire has already been sold. At least that's what Pinwow's dad told me.
Quoted from Whysnow:Is this the ad you are looking at?
removed so others don't snipe you before you decide
You should have gone for the robocop if so, it was the best deal.
Next I would go Police Force just for the price (still a bit too much for the game)
RoboCop has one display out and one of the slingshot plastics is busted (from what I can see in the picture he sent me). Might have to talk him down on his price as plastics are impossible to come by and if it needs a whole new display, those run $170-$200, depending on which one you choose (Pinscore or Rottendog).
Quoted from Whysnow:It sounds like his ad has been sitting for quite some time so guessing there is some wiggle room if he really wants to sell.
I would offer $1800 for the pair and then sell whatever I did no like after a couple months.
I wish I could buy two, but I have a couple issues standing in my way:
1. The wife never wanted me to buy one machine, now I have two! I'm selling my Slugfest, so I have room for one more. If I brought home TWO, I would need to sleep with one eye open.
2. I simply don't have the funds for two games. Oh well, such is life!
Quoted from anthony691:I voiced my thoughts (like art/theme/sound on Fire but prefer gameplay on Police Force, would choose Fire myself) in the last thread, but I'll chime in on price:
If condition is equal and he won't negotiate, I think Police Force is a slightly better deal.
I won't be able to make a final decision until I play each game. I'm actually leaning toward Fire (personal fun factor, I know it isn't for everyone) and RoboCop (rarity, theme, better chance at reselling). But my son loves watching the Police Force videos, so that might trump everything!
Quoted from dmbjunky:If you want more choices, maybe you should talk to this guy from Indy. I've talked with him before and he had quite the selection of games to choose from, more than was listed.

I saw that ad. None of the games he is selling at the moment really interest me. Thanks for the tip, though!
