I am not really looking for anything, but I figure it would be fun to see if others have thoughts based on my current collection.

Some details.

My favortie game is still TAF
I recently acquired a big Grail game which is Centaur
I have a LOTR on loan from a good local pinhead so it is not listed in my collection and it is getting taken back soon.

I like a diverse collection and I am slowly working though to restore many of my games to better than new condition.
RFM is done, FT is done, TX and TAF are in cue with restored pfs just waiting

My wishlist is really not up to date.

If you were to suggest one more game for my colleciton, what would it be?

A side note that I am on for Predator but when it actually is ready I will likely have to sell something to make room/$$$ for it.

STpro would be nice but the price tag is a bit high for me right now. Maybe a HUO in the future. I definately could use some Stern love and have really enjoyed LOTR while I have had it.

Yeah WW is high on the potentials. I passed a nice deal on to a buddy a while back when I was broke and maybe it will come back to me sometime. Randy also has his nice one if he ever decides to sell, that would be a sure thing purchase for me. His plays like a champ!

Then perhaps a Centaur II or Black Knight.

Looking at your collection, I think you would enjoy RBION if you are going to try to go the Stern route. Still can find one at a decent price.

I would look for something really deep and newer to round things out.... TSPP, LOTR, RBION, XMEN, TF, something along those lines. You have a nice balance of short/quick titles and medium range titles (as far as depth, with RS probably being the deepest). You also have a couple of titles in there that are linear in nature.

Every collection needs a game with a deep Keefer rule-set. Since you've had a fair amount of time on LOTR my vote is for either WOF, WPT or TSPP. -Or a WOZ or Hobbit once your sugar momma starts working

Ripley's would also be a good choice...

9 is perfect for pingolf..

Depth isn't a bad suggestion. I think you're also missing a simple stacking game, one of those that you need to line everything up (MB, Avatar, Sopranos, IM, etc).

Past differences between us aside I would choose LOTR. If you are looking at less expensive games I would say Avatar, BBH or TRS taking them as games that are semi transient in the sense that they won't be in your collection.

You could use an EM. That will open up a whole different world and with how you like to work on machines I think it would be very interesting for you. When I got my first one, I already knew they were different, but had no idea just how different...it's pretty mind blowing. Amazing engineering. And they smell great.

BUT...knowing your tastes in games, that might not be the right direction and I fear it would not get played much (as mine do not, but I love having them). So in keeping with your goal of diversity, something newer is probably a good idea. With what you like, I am in 100% agreement with a couple others here that Ripley's should be right up your alley. It's the first game that came to mind when I read your post. It's deep...not quite LOTR deep, but no slouch either. It has many gameplay similarities to TAF and TZ (it's very much a "Lawlor-y Lawlor...unlike some of his other Sterns). It's got a quirky sense of humor and personality that you seem to appreciate in a game. Plus it isn't a budget breaker...it's a lot of bang for the buck. Heck...I forgot how much I would like one myself, LOL!

- Another vote for an EM. No any EM, but some of them are real players.

- Otherwise a widebody from the early 80's (Paragon, Embryon, Black Hole). Alternatively, if you love Centaur, add Fathom or Medusa.

-

Quoted from MikeS:my vote is for either WOF, WPT or TSPP.

Excellent suggestions too... Ripley as well

- A Generation 2 zaccaria : Pinball Champ, Locomotion, Farfalla...

That "smell" is something else - have no idea what causes it. I started down the EM tech road and quickly got off of it in a hurry. As amazing as SS technology is, EM technology is just mindblowing. They are basically large adding machines - the stepper units themselves are incredible.

you add, whatever falls cheap in your lap. Sometimes, you end up liking a game you just bought because it was cheap and close. That's how Phantom of the opera became one of my keeper games.

Yep. Always leave 2 spots open for:

2) cheapo to fall into your lap to work on

strike isn't with me right now. I let david play around with it so he can get some repair documentation down for that boardset. that uses a very early board system that is even before Generation 1. I'll take some pics of locomotion when I start restoring it. That game is getting the full treatment.

LOL. I doubt I would actually buy a LOTR (unless I find a nice HUO for 4kish) since I have now been able to play one for 3 months thanks to a friend loaning me one. It is a really fun game, but after being able to play one I don't need to buy one.

I really think WW is still high on the list for the future. Reality is I have no money currently and should just be socking away cash for Predator for whenever it comes.

I'd like to get my first too.There's an Atlantis not far from me which looks very nice.It's tempting,but I think the seller is asking too much for it.Ideally would prefer a two player.
