Bought ACDC Pro and Met Pro last summer NIB.

Play the heck out of Met but have found ACDC is just too fast and kicks the crap out of me. Love the look, the music, and Aurich's Helen mods I've done, but actually playing it...not as much.

Want more pins that the whole family enjoys equally, so ACDC may be leaving.

So like the thread title asks, "If I like Metallica, what other pins might I like?"

Note that we play T3 at the Tundra Lodge in Green Bay, and though it's in rough shape, I even find myself liking it more than ACDC (just to bring the Steve Ritchie connection full-circle).

Maybe another Borg pin, and try Tron? It's a little on the fast and kicks the crap out of you side too I guess, but if you bring the inlanes in it's not so bad. No worse than Metallica!

What's your budget?

Quoted from davewtf:

Most likely what I can get out of ACDC if I pull the trigger to get rid of it. $3900-ish (+ or -).

Never played Tron, but it looks good from the YouTube vids I've watched. But probably outside my budget.

Obviously I won't replace ACDC with Xmen, Dave (though I did think of it tonight while watching Xmen: First Class with my boys).

I would highly recommend taking a weekend day and making the drive to Chicago to play a bunch of the pins on location around here. Plenty of variety to choose from at the holy trinity of Chicago locations - Logan Arcade, Headquarters, and Emporium. You'll play a nice cross section of games, including all of the latest and greatest Stern offerings and later Bally/Williams games along with a bunch of classics.

TFTC would be a good fit if you like Borg games, or his data east Star Wars. You may be able to get both for the price of an Acdc pro or at least close to it.

Yeah, Xmen sucks....LOL

If you decide to sell AC/DC, let me know... I know a guy

Star Trek the Next Generation.

With that budget maybe look at something like Whitewater. Fun pin that's more family friendly for sure.

Borg also worked on GnR, which I personally like better than Metallica, so if you like Metallica you might want to check it out.

I'd be curious to play it in real. Played it on Pinball Arcade, and it plays really fast (I know that's not the best way to judge).

Agree on Spider-Man. Similar, but SM has a better ruleset.
