I'm a Trekkie so for me plus 1 on theme there. STTNG might be the best theme integration of any pin, ever! All the actors on the show did the voice overs. TNG also edges out Indy because of the Picard maneuver. The greatest and most satisfying combo in pinball history. TNG really has it all, unless you despise the theme of course. This game was way ahead of its time.

Whoever is saying Indy is a more loved theme is simply wrong. Star Trek may have been more niche at a time but any franchise that has lasted over 50 years with half a dozen different series and over a baker's dozen movies in total plus conventions, comics, etc. is a pop culture landmark. It is undeniably more important culturally than Indiana Jones.

I think it seems like Indy is a more "exclusive" game, but there is just something special about TNG. Maybe I'm playing it through Geordie's glasses but for the time, it really was head and shoulders above everything else.

I always wanted a Deep Space Nine pin. Battling the Jem Hadar in Dominion multiball! There are so many cool things you could do with the theme. Oh well, I can dream

It's been quite a while in the debate since it has been mentioned so I will say STTNG has the Picard Maneuver, the greatest combo in pinball history. What more could a boy ask for. Your move Indy.

Quoted from CrazyLevi:

That combo is in many games, however. I find it just as satisfying in Rollegames or High Speed!

Yes it was innovative when used in High Speed, but in this it transcends just the shot and becomes a larger experience with the cast call outs and the dmd, the music that culminates in this joyous explosion of achievement never seen before. I'm a Solid State guy with EM leanings. I typically don't care for pins after Whirlwind, but my favorite thing to do on any pinball machine is go for warp 9.9. It is simply electric, and if it can captivate this EM/SS player it's gotta be pretty good.

This is a good, civil thread....brotherly love! Ritchie vs. Ritchie

Big brother always wins

Quoted from Coz:

All this talk about STTNG has me missing my old pin. I traded it away a few months ago and I’d love to have it back.

I'm a huge Trekkie. That would be a lifetime keeper for me and will be some day soon.

#123 6 years ago
Quoted from Blitzburgh99:

How good is STTNG? I dunno... but I bought one and don’t have anywhere to put it. I am officially four pins over my 4 pin space availability.

I'm jealous. Tell Pinbot to hit the shower. You need to get some time on STTNG!

Hey Pezpunk, how do you feel about Voyager?

#134 6 years ago
Quoted from Rondogg:

I liked Voyager.

I like it as just popcorn entertainment. I think it's the least strong of the other three major series but it's still a lot of fun to watch, even today.

#143 6 years ago

There has NEVER been a more immersive experience than STTNG and probably will never be. People like to say, at this price point I can get a Stern Pro, but fellas, this game has WAY more than your average Stern Pro and that is a simple fact. I'm not knocking Stern, I like them a lot, but this game really gives you the kitchen sink. Some of you IJ fanboys need to play STTNG again.

#150 6 years ago
Quoted from PinMonk:

Random, semi-related fact: I can personally attest that doing a complete teardown top and bottom PF refurb on STTNG sucks - a LOT. Super-complicated under-playfied.

Yeah, STTNG is a notorious shop out monstrosity, but we are talking about gameplay here! Indy is no picnic either.

Quoted from chuckwurt:

Played both again last night. Still STTNG for me.

You chuckwurt, are an honorable player!
