Quoted from EvanDickson:

THis is a weird poll. Why comparing this set?

Quoted from KingofGames:

lol, I own five pins and happen to own three of these.
I have Doctor who, tales from the crypt and episode one.
I have not played bsd enough to have a good opinion on it and not sure if i ever played fast break.
From the three i own.
I think tales from the crypt has the best game.
Doctor who is the best looking.
Episode one is the most frustrating.

Quoted from Squeakman:

Drac by 1000 miles.

Quoted from Blackbeard:

Pretty sure there was a BSD vs. TFTC thread not too long back you may wanna look at.
Couldn't wait to sell BSD.

Quoted from Ive:

Quite different titles .... Most will say BSD is the'best' but it's def a marmite pin , and I say that after owning/loving/selling it.
I'd rate them
BSD > TFTC > Dr.Who > NBAFB > ..................... by a long way SWE1
I have owned the first 3 in the past, BSD lasted longest, then TFTC, then Who. I have no urge to ever own the other 2

Quoted from EvanDickson:

Dr who by a mile for me, but full disclosure, I've never played BSD.

Quoted from TechnicalSteam:

BSD - This is the clear choice out of these games. The only issue now is price. Probably going to cost you more than the others. Though
you might find a players game 3200 bucks. I sold mine years ago and regretted the decision until two weeks back when I bought another.
Game is challenging and might not be the best game for your first rodeo.
Dr.who - I own this game. I would rank it under BSD. If your not a fan don't get this game. Make sure the game is in great condition if you do get.
Not a bad choice for first game.
TFTC - NA - Never played ( Strange ). Theme is really cool. I haven't played or owned it. Guess I should give it a whirl.
Episode 1 - I've played this a handful of times. Gets old fast. If you can get it cheap do it. This thing is heavy as hell.
It is probably not the best choice for a new owner.
I wonder if TFTC is not a bad choice

Quoted from Bwilson:

NBA is pretty cool if you have two of them
The head to head mode is probably the coolest thing about that pin.

Quoted from TheLaw:

Remove ep1 right now, handful of worst games ever created.

Quoted from Daditude:

I voted BSD, but there are really several factors to consider:
Is there a cap on how much you can spend?
Do you want games from different Eras represented in your collection?
Does your collection have a theme, or are you going for variance?
Do you want pins with various playing styles (i.e. drop tagets, ramp heavy, loaded with toys, long ball play times, difficulty, etc.)?
Are you going for keeping a pin for a ling time, freshening up a lineup, family friendly, or maybe to impress guests?

Quoted from Coolpinballdino:

I own TFTC, BSD, and Doctor Who all three fun games but i give it to BSD really cool game with an awesome theme and super fast gameplay.

Quoted from Daditude:

With those parameters, and money not being an issue....I would go
1) BSD
2)TFTC
and
3) nba fastbreak
In that order

Quoted from gunstarhero:

In order of preference:
Dracula is an awesome game, tough as hell, mist multiball is awesome... kinda ugly tho. I’d love to get one myself.
Doctor Who is also an awesome game, cool multiball, time expander is great... some people just can’t deal with the sound (EXTERMINATE!!). I just got one and love it.
TFTC is a cool game too, it’s got that DE feel some people don’t like tho, and the laugh can grate. Haven’t had one but wouldn’t mind.
NBA is probably cool if you’re a basketball fan, but it’s dated and kinda linear. It’s not on my list but maybe for like $1500... lol yeah right.
SWE1 is also interesting as it’s one of two Pinball2000s, but it gets old pretty fast. Had one and sold it.

Quoted from EvanDickson:

I just stumbled back into this thread. I've since played BSD, and my opinion on DW being the pin to choose remains solid.
Did you ever pick any of these up?
