Florida trip!!!!!!

Pinside = 1984

It’s cryptic

Wish I was closer. I have a nice SMVE for Trade

I want to start a gofundme page for waspinator for pinball funds.

Has anyone made an offer yet? If so are any deals even close to what you are looking for?

Arena is the worst. Get that off the list. The rest of your list is fun.

This thread is the only place I have ever heard that.

Already marked as sale pending.

One of the few tournaments I've won I had to play Arena in the finals. I'm not sure I even won so much as my opponent just didn't want to play anymore.

I won close to $100 because of Arena and I still think it's terrible and don't ever need to play it again.

TX-Sector has it's shining moments but also has it's flaws. I can't say that I really like many Gottliebs after 1982. 1978-1982 had some pretty cool games and a few with absolutely amazing art. They just got over shadowed by what Bally was doing at the time. While TX sector and robo wars are cool but they do not match up well against the games Williams was putting out. Taxi, Earthshaker, Whirlwind, etc all can be had for good prices and are much better games. They are not rare so you are not having to pay for the novelty of owning them like you do with TX-Sector

different strokes for differnet folks...

I have owned all of the titles you list and WWind, Taxi, and ES all left.

Robo and TX are far superior games in all aspects and are bolted to the floor. Quite a few other GTB games I would take over Taxi. Wwind is slightly better but gets old and there are much better Pat Lawlor games worth owning.
I did buy ES back, but I dont see it sticking around forever. It was just a nicer example and I felt the need for another sys11 at the time.

This might be my favorite thread right now wish I lived closer you two seem like a fun couple.

Robo and TX are fun games but do you think they are good for a 1 game only collection? I wouldn't mind owning either in a 10+ game collection but I just don't see them as good 1 game collection option. Just my opinion though.

I would never own a 1 game collection (at least not staying at 1 for very long) but when I did, it was TAF and I still have that game.

In a 1 game collection, I would pick TX or Robo over Taxi or Wwind or ES for sure. They both have the "just 1 more" factor moreso than the others.

Granted in a 1 game collection I would likely buy a DI or TNA currently. I think DI has the most value if you are only going to have 1 game for a long haul and like a game with a bit more to explore.
Great layout, great ruleset, amazing mechs that are well implemented.

I think TNA has the most value if you are a player and like challenging games that are addictive in a self challenge to play better sort of way. Also has a great layout, great ruleset, and really neat implementation of mechs.

Agreed. No one trade for this so we can get more fun banter between the happy couple.

Dump truck line from the wifeinatOr still my favorite.

You guys are great!

?

All you have to do for now is put down your 1k deposit and wait in line...

It is really not hard to convince them... just order 1.

You are going to want 1 eventually so might as well put down the money and get in line.

They probably would but you’d have to send them $5,995 first.....probably.

Like Whysnow was getting at with TX-sector. It really just depends on what you like to play. If you love 1980-1982 most of all TNA might be your best option in a 1 game collection. For others it will be a novelty game that they enjoy with friends and don't play it a ton.

Personally I think IM maybe the best 1 game collection pinball option. Others will want more depth though but I think it has the most replay value.

^ THIS ^

Beware the TNA pumping.

TNA is GREAT choice for a 1 game collection. Tons of replay value. Challenging, but simple to understand. Lots of shots. Cool and fun mechs. Best lightshow ever. Fun as single player. Blast as multiplayer. Casuals and players will like it. Amazing programing and polish.

At this point I think I could scale back my colelciton. I have played more TNA in the past 2 months than all other games combined.

TNA checks more boxes to satisfy a larger subest of wants than almost any other game IMHO. I am amazed at how almost anyone that gets some time on it loves it.

Lol, Waspy has already played TNA and said he really likes it. Based on what you currently own and your wishlist and history it's not a game you will like. You've never owned a single game like that so it's either just not your style or you just haven't had the right experience with a game like that yet. It's certainly not going to be for everyone, but what game really is?

you only need 1k to spend right now (deposit)

You will have had at least 15 games come and gone through your colleciton before you need to pay the reaminder of the balance, lol.

Dont get me wrong, im not trying to put down TNA. It just will not be a good stand alone game for most people...

Dont get me wrong. I just think you are wrong

After seeing it on route fr 2 months and watching lots of people with different desires in favorite games. The majority keep coming back for more TNA. Everything from previous non-players to hardcores seem to like the game and keep playing it constantly.

No I like TNA. I play in the occasional tournament too. I just think $6K is way too much for what it is.

My current wishlist is 90% what my kids are going to enjoy, since I have an open slot. Pinside makes this easy with the "My Marketplace" feature so I don't have to keep searching.

I seriously like TNA. But liking and owning are 2 different things.

I'd rather own a kick-my-ass Iron Man at $4500-$5000 than TNA at over a grand more.

Did Matt Lauer write this line?

nicest thing anyone has ever said to me on Pinside...

lol

I will look into it tonight, never done it before. I’ve donated on there but never set one up.

People always loose me when they start talking about value for their money and anything pinball related.

I'd suggest not. https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/recreating-flynn’s-arcade

You have slots and $$$ for 16 pins? Value probably doesn't have to enter the picture.

I wish I had that (lack of) problem.

Hahaha! I call dibs

But I agree that TNA is an awesome game! After playing GOTG last night for the first time there really is no comparison between the two games at this point. I'd take TNA in a single game collection long before GOTG or most of the other recent Sterns.

Not really what I as trying to say. They are all terrible values in my mind. I spend way to much on them compared to the time I get to use them. Every time I buy another one I can't help but think that I'm an idiot.
