Hi ,

Need help again to have some advice !!!

I need a new great pinball at home !
It must be difficult AND all the family will play it (wife and 3 kids (12-10-7)).

So my love choice for me would be Alice cooper (difficult but family friendly ?).

NExt is Jp premium but i can't find one so i go for Ghostbusters pro because I can find it but perhaps i will regret not having a premium on this one.

So next can be TMNT LE but lots of people says its not a keeper .

So next again is Star wars premium ?

Next is also JJP GNR LE but again like TMNT lots says its not a keeper ... TS4 too high price !!!!

Thanks to help me with that poll

My personal thoughts, take it as you like:

* Alice cooper is a REALLY difficult game with super narrow passages. I don't like this game at all (and I listen to a lot of metal music so that's not the problem). Because of the difficulty I would say this isn't a family pin, its frustrating to play!

* Jp premium. Solid game. Feels a little empty on toys but still a really good game.

* Ghostbusters. A favorite game for me but I know many people really dislike it. It has kind of brutal outlanes but the toys and overall theme is great imo.

* TMNT. Can't remember which version I've played but got bored of it really fast. I'm not a turtles fan either so that doesn't help.

* Star wars premium. Not played it, looks fun on videos.

* JJP GNR LE. Played it at a friend's house over several days and did never really like it. Looks visually great with all the lights n stuff but gameplay is almost constant multiball and gets boring really fast.

TL;DR
Get JP or GB, maybe SW if the family is a fan of the theme.

Hi Lhyrgoif , thanks for your returns ! Thats really cool to have other opinion before buying game.

JP is very hard to fine new now , next time its available in France, price is 12790 euros !!! So its difficult for me and my wife to "lose" 2000 euros on this game....
PErhaps BOnd at the same price would be the right choice for the high price...

GB , i can have the PRO for 7500 e. SW premium still available premium at 10890 euros.

Alice cooper looks hard and tiny shots but the toys looks cool and the phantom manor feeling looks terrible !

Difficult to chose but thats also a part of the game

Thanks again

ACNC, GB, JP, and TMNT all have tight shots. My son doesn’t gravitate to JP at our league, used to hate both GB Pro and Prem due to the tight shots plus the mile wide flipper gap, and we sold out TMNT because it was too clunky (though I enjoyed it).

Having said all that I bought a SW yesterday because it’s a good theme, lots of rules for me to explore, and the shots are all much more “family friendly”.

I have a hard time selecting a game that is both difficult AND family friendly, because my family doesn’t enjoy difficult games. That said, of the choices I would go with Jurassic Park since it has great mechs and is generally fun AND difficult in later stages.

GB, TMNT, SW I have never found “fun”. SW Premium does have the most amazing physical sequence with the hyperspace multiball startup

SW is my favorite out if those, JP2 next.
Tmnt is not fun for anyone in a family.

Jurassic park then Star Wars

Though neither are great family games

Pinball multiplayer games are mostly redundant, unless the code involves clever use of co-op play or competitive 'battle' modes. Competing only for high scores is a rule as old as your great granny.

^^ This would be the most balanced all around fun for family and skilled players.
Most on your list are not as friendly or forgiving - maybe SW or JP with + on the ball save timer.
