Hurricane is like a playable Rube Goldberg device with the ramps everywhere. The art on it is cool, the theme works fairly well on it, but it's just too much stuff everywhere that you end up watching instead of interacting with. I'm a HUGE theme park lover, and I have no interest in ever owning this one. I will play it once or twice whenever I see it, but that usually feels like enough. In particular, the double Ferris wheel on it takes forever to the point you just want to avoid that shot.

Operation Thunder I haven't spent a ton of time with, but it's decent. It suffers from a bit of the thing that a lot of Gottlieb games did, which is that it isn't balanced well from what I remember. Also, the playfield on it is ULTRA crowded.

Street Fighter II a lot of people hate, as it plays like the video game but using a ball. It's SUPER linear, has a ton of strategy in what you pick after each completed shot (aka beat opponent), and with only one pop bumper plays less like a pinball and more like a shooting gallery that just happens to be using a pinball.

I've had chances to own all three, and I do own a SF2. If I was going to buy one of these and they were my only game however, I would pick the Operation Thunder. If you have multiple other games and don't mind a change of pace, SF2 isn't as terribly as it is if you don't have much selection.
