    All three are plentiful and relatively cheap - I don't think the spread between a nice FP and a nice High speed or F14 is really that big. All three were played to death in arcades and may show varying degrees of wear.

    They are all great games. I would probably lean toward high speed of the three, but you really can't go wrong. ANd yes, Firepower will require more work/care to "bulletproof" as the System 11 games are much better designed.

    Firepower can also play pretty janky if not given a lot of attention. As a baseline, you want to be able to hit that top lock shot with the right flipper.

    Quoted from InfiniteLives:

    I would go F-14 or High Speed in a smaller collection
    If you had like 5+ games Firepower would fit better imo
    I like F-14 more as its a real battle you verse the machine, especially with the yagov kick back but both are probably about the same amount of fun.

    I like F14 but I find it less interesting and it gets old faster. No combo shots, not a lot of flow for a Ritchie game (it does have nice spinner shots), and no ramps either. Not a lot of innovation either (well the kicker is cool!)...FP invented a ton of cool stuff, and High Speed invented the Picard Maneuver!

    My least favorite of the three for sure, but no arguing that it's quite a spectacle when you get the sirens going. Amazing music too especially the "multiball ready" tune.

    Quoted from InfiniteLives:

    i dont like the progressive jackpot carry over on high speed where if player 1 cashes in ball 1 you just have to grind for a day to try and come back. im pretty sure you cannot change that in the settings but ive heard of a custom rom that fixes this.
    youve probably have seen it more than me, is that correct or am i completely wrong?

    There is a tournament ROM that fixes the Jackpot at 750,000 I believe. Not sure where you get it but it certainly fixes the issue.
