Hey all,

At the moment, I have a line on a couple of Earthshakers, and the more I think about it, the more I think it might be a good idea to get one. I currently have a couple DMDs (Shadow, TSPP), a Pin*Bot, a Flash, and a couple of EMs. Neither of the machines I'm looking at are what I'd call "holy crap they're giving them away" games, but the prices aren't out to lunch, either, and I'd rather have a really good Sys 11 than a so-so DMD for the same price.

The question I have for anyone who wants to field it is whether the game has the legs to last in a medium-sized collection? I know the game isn't going to have the depth of either of the DMDs I have, but then again, I like playing pinball against people. If I have friends over, I can't really play TSPP against them; I'm no great player, but a decent ball will last five or ten minutes for me, and that's not fun for them. Is Earthshaker a game that's both interesting enough for me to play by myself, but easy enough for guests to hammer on when they're here? Just looking for people's opinions, keeping in mind the games I already have. Thanks in advance.

Hey all,

Thank you for the advice; general consensus seems to be it's a worthwhile game. I'll see what comes of the ones that are available. Cheers.
