FH for me, and I have both.

If either of them are a diamond plate game, THAT is the one to keep.

Diamond plate logo would be in the outlanes of both games.

What I've tend to notice is that general public, or non pinball people prefer funhouse. The collectors and players tend to prefer whirlwind. I like and have both, its a wash for me. Both all time classic games. Todd

Can't hurt to ask!

I have owned both, each are great games. If I had to choose it would be Whirlwind.

I miss my ww , given a chance I will own one again , miss my es , same , given a chance will own again , I’m picking up a funhouse this weekend , I have to admit to never playing one , so it was never on my radar.
Some day I would love to own all three as I love that era of pins . Es was the first pinball machine to pull me away from vids , I’ve never looked back .

Take the extra money and sell the FH. I also think FH gets more repetitive than WW, so the edge to WW for me.

WW was my second pin I purchased back in 2002 still have it still play it.

I find the poll interesting...since it is pretty much a 50/50. They are both great games IMO.

Both great games, both hold great memories for me. For me, though, it's Funhouse. It was a game-changer and got me back into pinball. Pure fun, shots are under-rated, more humor, just love it. I don't know that either one requires greater skill (although I think WW fans believe it to be the case). At times, I think FH's appeal to the general public is a turn-off for some pinball guys--too mainstream and too easy to have fun on, even if you suck. I'd love either in my collection, although FH will be first.

OP I know you sold your FH. FH is the first game I purchased in 93'... Whirlwind shortly after. I still have both. I would let my WW go before my FH. However, it will never happen (in my lifetime).
