Quoted from pinmister:

Third flipper with ramps, cannons that actually do something, probably the best layout in all of pinball, great call-outs, did I mention the bad ass cannons? IJ is a great game, but STTNG is the winner for me.

Quoted from TractorDoc:

Thought I remembered reading a similar thread before:
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/sttng-or-ij#post-3687012
These comparisons remind me of the Miller Lite Commercials where one side thought "Great Taste" was better and the other claimed "Less Filling" was where it was at.
In the end we all agree that we love beer. . . er, I mean pinball.

Quoted from Frax:

You might have been right before IJ4 came out.

Quoted from Frippertron:

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.

Quoted from Crispin:

I voted Indy but forgot about the easter egg games of TNG where you can play poker or breakout on the dmd. Does Indy have any hidden games?

Quoted from EricHadley:

I owned Indy briefly and just didn’t like it.........

Quoted from jake35:

interesting that reimports bring less. Mine is domestic and has no cabinet fade, with full brass hardware. I wouldn't sell it unless I was forced to, maybe 8k in todays market would be value sounds like.
I personally have no issue with reimports, I'm more concerned with condition of the machine. I've seen some domestic games that were rough, and I have a GNR that was reimported from Germany that is in incredible shape. Maybe it's the idea of them traveling across the ocean.

Quoted from pezpunk:

ahhhhhhh i wasn't gonna litter the board with yet another comment from me geeking out over TNG, but what the hell. i (duh) disagree with this.
yeah, there are some clunky episodes, especially in the first two seasons, but i think the top half of TNG episodes stand up with the best of TV even today, and its very top episodes are still right at the apex of the format. i don't know if there has ever been a better 45 minutes of TV than "The Inner Light", or a better series finale than "...All Good Things". Most of seasons 3 through 6 are top notch. The cast has excellent chemistry, and the writers are still flush with ideas.
My daughter asks me to watch TNG with her at least once a week, she really enjoys it. My son is only 7, but he's starting to get into it, too.
I do pick episodes i know don't suck, though. They haven't been exposed to the pain that is "Angel One" (Riker's wang conquers Planet Feminazi), "Sub Rosa" (Dr. Crusher becomes addicted to boning her dead grandmother's lover, who is, i am not making this up, a ghost who lives in a candle), "Justice" (Wesley is sentenced to death for accidentally stepping on some flowers), or Shades of Gray (a comatose Riker dreams about lame clips from prior episodes).
I've tried to show her the original series too, because I like it, but she rejected it thoroughly. Re-watching it, i find a lot of the ideas are really outdated, and believe it or not the moralizing on TOS can be even more hamfisted than TNG. remember this goofball? :

i do like the original series. and i can't wait to show my kids DS9 when they're a little older. But I think the good TNG episodes have aged remarkably well!
ok, sorry for the interuption. i'm done.

Quoted from pezpunk:

why the heck not? as you acknowledge, the top half of TNG is fantastic television by any standard. it doesn't deserve to be written off when it actually ages quite well. granted, it benefits from a curated tour.

Quoted from sethi_i:

I can't hold my tongue anymore. I do like IJ but the cultural phenomenon that is Star Trek is undeniable. You said it yourself...no cherry picking. Even isolating ST to TNG your math speak for itself. 88% beats 75%...
As for the games, I think the same applies.

Quoted from Guinnesstime:

Indy for me, for theme especially by a WIDE margin. I couldn’t care less about the Star Trek franchise, probably because when I saw Wrath of Khan as a kid, I thought it was boring as hell. ( Where is the action? They’re just talking and putting bugs in peoples helmets? )
There’s nothing wrong with STTNG gameplay. I men, it was such a good layout, Ritchie copied his own design (very original).
My thoughts on theme aside, I do know that if it was based on the original series and not TNG, this pin would be rated higher.
