I have the chance to borrow and fix up either a Data East Time Machine or an Eight Ball Deluxe. Money is not a factor as I am not buying or reselling (and that's not what's important in this hobby anyway) and let's assume they are working and in similar condition. This is just a matter of which will be more fun to have for a short term basis.
I feel like Time Machine would be a bigger hit with guests, it has crazy ramps, multiball, and the fun feature of chimes kicking in when you hit the fifties. My concern is that it's basically a two ramp shot game that may get old fast. Also may be somewhat similar in a vague way to WCS94 which I have.
EBD has great art, tons of drop targets including inline, total shooters game that requires strategy. My concerns are that there is no multiball, and guests may not like it.
It would go into a collection with WCS94, Taxi, and World Fair 64 EM.
Opinions please.
