That's a TOUGH question. I've owned both, and absolutely LOVE both. Fish Tales was traded, and came back a month later at the girlfriend's request. Getaway was sold only because I want to own a near-CQ one some day, but wanted to rotate other games through the collection first.

There is a reason they're the two highest-production non-licensed-theme B/W DMD games. Both are excellent.

Quoted from mof:

Two quick questions:
1. Is the FT orbit fun? Does it go in both directions? Is there any sort of diverter that enables/disables it in one direction?
2. Is the FT spinner fun? Does it sound good?
thanks,
mof

The left orbit shot ends in a saucer. The right orbit shot can make a full loop, or go to the pops, based on a gate.

Fish Tales doesn't have the best spinner, but it's decent.

Are you looking to buy one or the other? If so, have you owned either before?

Or are we discussing just for the hell of it.
