Two games with some interesting qualities that you’ll want to be rid of within a week.

Forced to pick? I’d go with earth it has more charm and will remind you of better pat lawlor games.

Quoted from DakotaMike:

Someone else pointed out to me that if I went with ES then I'd only have System 11s. Whereas if I went with JD, then I'd end up having both a System 11 and a 90's Bally/Williams in my collection. That would potentially be a more balanced mix.

It’s usually a mistake to curate by checklist.

“I gotta have one X game, one Y game, etc”

You just need cool games.

Quoted from Daditude:

You have 30 reasons to get JD...the only reason I can see to get ES is because it's made by pat lawlor. I've never picked a pin simply because a certain person made it...

Also wise

Here's the link to the FB ad, if you wanna take a look. Hopefully, I can trust everyone to not come in and snipe the sale! I'm still debating, general consensus seems to be JD though. I'm gonna think on it for a couple days. With the uncertainty in the pinball market, I don't think I'd feel comfortable paying more than $2900. Unless someone with more expertise tells me that I'm crazy anyway! Thanks for the help everyone.

It's $200 difference, and you live in South Dakota. Not exactly a hotbed of pin availability I would guess. If you are comfortable with 3100 don't see why you are terrified at 2900.

Regardless, that's fair market on a JD these days.

I'd advise against a 30-year old DE as your first game.

THey were built very poorly.

Quoted from o-din:

I've heard people in the past say Dredd is not deep enough.
Well, let's see how often they can get to The Ultimate Challenge on a three ball game. Either way.

Not really that tough bro!!!

Quoted from RobDutch:

Easiest way is to score 4 jackpots during multiball, and start the Ultimate Challenge this way..
Pretty easy if you ask me!
But getting to the Ultimate Challenge by playing all chain modes, that is a bit harder on a steep and fast game with the outlanes all the way open

The wizard mode really sucks though. Talk about a bland finale!

Whirlwind is an all time classic top 10 for me.
