If your a player that like to be challenged then go with FG.
As most have said it is brutal at times, but when you have that game that you light it up, it's sweet.

Quoted from cody_chunn:This "vs" is less about which game is "better" and more about the skill of the player. A novice to average street player I think will enjoy 8BD much more, since it has a more forgiving playfield with more long shots that are easier to react to if you miss. FG is pinball masochism. It will slap you around and laugh at you...literally. With the playfield cut in half and all those barriers and ramps in the way you are having to react to misses in a split second. While advanced players love that challenge, most other players, and certainly casual players will find the game utterly frustrating.
So play the 8BD until you build up a skill set, then try to apply them to FG and see how it will break you!
So either game would be best depending on the circumstances.
IMO!
Well said
Quoted from MrBellMan:My Fathom has a 3-ball multiball! Pretty fun, but my single ball Flash Gordon is king of my Bally collection!
Same here, but I also enjoy my vector it has 3 ball
Quoted from Classic_Stern:Get em both. Forget about the discussion. There both great.
Agree if you can get both, do it.
