I know this is a "thing" that you must try to fell it, but i dont have the oportunity to play them all, so i would like to know your opinions, so i am in the process of building out a 2 game collection, currently i have one game - Iron Maiden Pro! I have room for 1 more game. Ideas so far that I have:

- AC/DC Pro Vault Edition (I also like a lot of AC/DC Music)
- Game of Thrones Pro Version (ive played it once, and i really like it)
- Lord of the Rings
- Twilight Zone

Ive already had Metallica and SpiderMan, so this ones are OUT.
Generally maybe i was looking for newer stuff (stern) but will take any ideas.

Why did you sell the Met and SM ? Seems like good choices right there. Any advice would be futile at this point.

#3 5 years ago

AC/DC and LOTR are both great games that I've owned for awhile. Wildly different gameplay...both classics.

I sell them because i had no space what the time, just that, both great machines! Prefer to have something that was "new" to me.

TWD Premium.......... Best newer Stern out there.

What he said ^^^

#7 5 years ago

I agree with hoby1 and Who -Dey. TWD would be great with IMDN.

GOT Pro ou POTC stern? can also be a good options?!
There is much diference between TWD Pro and Premium?

There is some differences between TWD Pro and the Premium but the pro is a very good game also. I have a TWD Pro and a GOT Pro also, love them both.

I can’t wait to see your choice as a two game collection. Similar to me wanting my 2nd pin. Since you have Maiden I would say no to ACDC since would be two music pins and maybe GAme of thrones as very different style of game play or TZ. But if you like long games LOTR is a great playing and shots are nice.

the cheapest and best of the Group GOT pro

I have a small collection (3) and have IMDN PRO and ACDC pro vault next to each other. One is designed and rule developed by #1 player in the world, Keith Elwin. The other designed by the flow king Ritchie and programmed by the legend, Lyman Sheats. They really compliment each other very very well. IMDN is more of a quest and objective based game, instant classic. ACDC is missing one or two alternate type modes (Oii mania and perhaps a mini wizard mode) but it is just a feel good fun game to shoot and rock out to. I owned an acdc premium for a year+, and while the drops are fun to hit with the cannon and the tnt target/mech is great, I prefer the pro gameplay.

That said, GOT PRO would compliment IMDN very very well, maybe even better as it’s not a music theme game. I have a few issues with GOT PRO that keeps it out of my lineup but that wouldn’t bother most people; plus I owned it for 2 years.

My vote. GOT PRO first, but can’t go wrong with acdc pro either.

TWD pro is another fantastic choice if you like the theme. But it doesn’t flow near as good as IMDN, GOT, or ACDC.

As for LOTR; this is a fantastic single player game. It’s great for a small lineup that doesn’t involve multiplayer games. Just be prepared for a long epic journey.

Speaking of multiplayer; if that’s what you’re after, then acdc is a must.

Thanks, that can be really really helpful. Well i love both bands, ad/dc and ironmaiden, but a bit afraid of to much music theme games.

I’m a fan of both bands as well. ACDC is THE definition of a music themed game. The integration is spot on near perfect and feels so good. Best music themed pinball IMO. Iron Maiden doesn’t feel quite like a music themed game to me, it’s more of a legacy of the beast theme. The call outs and rules is what makes this game, not the music. Which is why they compliment each other well. Luckily for me though I can say this having a 3rd non music themed pin in SW. don’t know how I would feel not having that 3rd option to rotate to which is probably another reason I lean more towards a GOT PRO or TWD PRO over acdc. But man, acdc is a great music game. Can’t go wrong, but a tough decision for sure

Yeap is really a tought decision thats why im asking your opinions
The AC/DC pro i prefer the vault edition, is not so expensive as the premium and also offers a good stuff, the bell mode, and not having the Angus face on the playfield is hugde for me, my personal opinion of course.

#16 5 years ago

LOTR all day for depth alone. I think it’s a good contrast to IMDN.

#17 5 years ago

Not a Stern, but Monster Bash Classic for $6000 is a great value and is very different from Maiden.
