Quoted from mario_1_up:

I just sold my abra to a friend that already had atlantis. Abra is the coolest em I've ever owned and man do i miss it. I would go with abra.

And your friend appreciates it! It's currently apart as I'm doing the fix on the veneer on the head and also fixing up the pedestal a bit.

This is a tough, tough question. I kind of agree with Ken that Abra is a bit more forgiving that Atlantis. But that said, it is just a great, great player. Jeff Brenner didn't do many games for Gottlieb but both of these games are his and they are probably the two best wedgeheads I've ever played, and that's saying something because I love Jacks Open. I also have Jeff's Top Card and while it is good, it's not Abra or Atlantis.

If I had your issue, and I'm saying this never having played it, I'd sell Strange World and get both. If you only have room for one and you won't sell Strange World, then it would be Atlantis for me, but I'm talking by the narrowest of margins. It's just that close. They're totally different games and layouts but they're both just great in their own way.

Quoted from presqueisle:

Another idea is to buy the Atlantis, then get a Team One (abcd's better playing aab cousin, and it's cheaper), and that way you can have all three!
-disclaimer I own a Team One and laugh at all of you hunting for a abcd.

That's because you're a Wisconsin AAB guy.
