All of my games except for AFM were bought with me never having played them. I use a combo of PAPA videos, other people's videos / commentary / home reviews, rankings and especially comments here on Pinside. Most have worked out well. IM and TF LE did not. I still can't believe that IM didn't do it for me but there was something about it that just didn't cut it. I love Borg games (esp Tron) but I just didn't mesh with that one. Bought TF LE based upon the love of the theme, the good looks of the cabinet and playfield and the uniqueness of the design but after 6 months couldn't get enthusiasm for the game play anymore. Surprisingly POTC is just a total blast and everyone who comes over just loves it. I am topped out at 7 games (outta room) so the hard part will be deciding which game goes out if a new one comes in. Probably want to have a collection composition that looks like this: 3 classic B/W games and then the other 4 would be recent ones stern or jjp. So the point is the next game I get will be one I never played before. I think u can do that if you allow yourself the freedom to realize that not every game will work out and it is OK to send out a game pretty quickly if it doesn't work for you...
