Hey Pinside!

So I have 13 games that I am generally pretty fond of...

Twilight Zone
Ghostbusters
Theater of Magic
Black Knight 2000
Medieval Madness
Monopoly
Demolition Man
Judge Dredd
World Cup Soccer
Shadow
Creature from the Black Lagoon
Devils Dare
Spanish Eyes

...but the problem is really only have room for 5, with a stretch of 8! So I need to make some decisions.

I’ve been running lineups through my head of what to keep and what to move and decided I’d just ask... what do you all think? Best lineup of 5 with best 3 “extras” and any justification you’d give, or not. It’s all you!

I’d like to have a varied lineup with a mix of gameplay, designers and themes... but am open to any suggestions.

I know condition matters but there’s just too many variables there... so condition wise just consider them all as “nice players” games.

Help me out Pinside!!

Hmm! I do kinda like that idea but I like the reasons some people are putting and feel like a poll might not encourage that.

Thanks for the responses so far, there have been a couple things that make me go “Hmmm...”

Absolutely, just looking for some perspective. It’s interesting to see how others tackle a conundrum you could be facing, you know?

It’s for profiling purposes... you know so I have a well rounded collection:

1 EM
1 early Solid State
1 system 11
10 DMDs

Lol, the problem is I really want them ALL. Mine, yours, loaners, I don’t care... I’m always down to get new pins.

Great question. 9 in the garage, 3 in the house, 1 out on loan.

I basically have a perfect wall for 5 in the garage, and 4 are in the middle of the garage now. I have a car I need to get in there in the next couple months tho. Selling the car is not an option.

The goal is to keep pinball out of the “living area” (not the wife’s call, but mine) so that we can at least pretend to be grown ups sometimes, lol. Don’t want a Silver Spoons living room. We have furniture we’d need to get rid of too.

I know, I know. Get a bigger house! Genius.

Ha, love it. You know what’s funny tho, is it’s not about what poeple think, but about my actual enjoyment. Our last house had a large conversion garage that acted as my living room (and de facto pinball room) and for some reason I just didn’t play the games as much in that environment, plus they were just useless at parties or get togethers because they were overpoweringly loud. When the games have their own quasi-dedicated space I find that when I enter that space, I’m in the mood to play.

Basically genius.

Cause I enjoy all of them in one way or another and it’s kind of interesting to see what people think?

I also value the input of my fellow pinball affectionados and wanted to see what they would choose.

BTW, like your lineup. Would love to play Wrath of Olympus someday.

Ha I forgot about that thread.

It’s funny I have gotten another CFTBL since that post.
