Hello,
I am buying my first machine. I have a 7 year old and 4 year old so would be great to get a great machine that would be fun for them. If it were available today, I would get Big Lebowski. Now I am between Simpsons Pinball Party, Ghostbusters. Any thoughts between the two or other suggestions? Don't want to get anything with that might scare the 4 year old although Ghostbusters looks tame.

Thank you so much for the help!

Quoted from RonSS:

I'll second that.

Great advice! Thanks.

And just curious, if I were to get Simpsons, I see it online on Pinball Company for $7k. I also see people selling the machine on eBay for much more. What am I missing? Sorry for being clueless. I will also look into those other machines. WOZ seems very solid too.

Great advice. As I said, I would have TBL in my house yesterday even with a 7 yr old and 4 yr old. I know that subject is for another forum. Going to do some heavy research!

One more question: are there any hotly anticipated games just released or about to be released that have great reviews or are expected to be great? Or is that dangerous. Should one wait a year or so for kinks to be worked out, etc. Sorry if covered in another forum.

Walking dead would be great. Actually, I think I have my sights on TBL. Seems like it is difficult to get. Any advice on where I should put down a deposit that is refundable if they decide not to make any more?

I have no real connection to Attack from Mars. For me, I would like something which which I would have an association. Simpsons, TBL, Game of Thrones, etc.
So the consensus is that even if I waited for a year or two, TBL just won't come to fruition. I am patient. I waited 4 yrs, 3 months for my Tesla.

Good points. I will check out those 4. TBL is totally not for kids and I recognize that. Thanks for advice. Won't consider putting down deposit until they are being delivered. What a great concept though!
