#terminator-2-judgment-day and #star_trek_le are both Steve Ritchie designs. If you want something totally different, look at games by different designers, Lawlor, Nordman, Oursler, etc. Borg did your #metallica-le , what do you think of his other big hit #the_walking_dead_le ?

I would get a ST Prem sure! It is Rampy, like you mentioned but the wrap shot is really fun to hit. Wrap shot is super fast when you get it 2 or more times in a row, but hitting it once feels good. ST Prem is the last true Prem by Stern IMHO. The armor looks great and it has bling for sure. If you want less bling you face get a ST Pro. I had one for a while and really dug it.

ST can be a little fast on ball speed and flow. Also the shot to change missions can be a tough shot for newbies, so keep that in mind for casual players. For you though it would be a good change from MET.

I had T2 for a while and it was fun . After I got enough super jackpots on it I let it go for ACDC. It kind of plays like an older arcade game - simple, not deep and go get a high score.

If T2 is what more casual players like and you are give or take I would switch T2 out for another 90’s BW pin in the same price range, so you would have a third pin to play also. I liked my WCS and HS2. HS2 is fast but casual folks loved the supercharger. Folks love to hit goals all day long.

So I vote yes on ST and yes on switching out T2 for another 90’s BW.

ST is a decent game but i would go ST Pro if i were you. You don't miss too much on the pro. Almost nothing actually, especially with the great job all the mod makers have done with it. Either way you can't go wrong.

I think ST is a great choice, I also.owned T2 for years and finely sold it. I have the pro.

I would go for a mode based game, a Pat Lawlor title .

I love my Star Trek pro. What is your budget?? There’s a lot of good pins in the $4000-$5000 range

I had Star Trek Pro for awhile. I enjoyed the game, but most games....i just felt like I was trying to keep the ball in play....little too fast for my tastes. Kept it for about a year.

Consider the ST Pro then bling it out like I did, you can use the extra money for all kinds of bling and still have some money left. Mine is bolted to the floor. An LE would REALLY be the way to go IF you could find one and be willing to pay the price.

Well if you put it that way - take the $6000 and sell T2 and get DI!

DI is what you would want and will be a big hit with everyone, pinhead to newbie who shows up at your house. DI is very different from MET and both are great. Those 2 totally work!

Different is a good thing. I play my POTC after I play SW and love the change of play. Folks think you need like 10 pins to get your pin fix on, but 2-3 can go a long way and totally work. If you have DI and MET then T2 will never get played much anyway. Get a HUO DI if you can.

Sound good?

Yes, great idea!!

My advice if you want it:

4 games is not a lot, it's a good collection. But it's not a lot of slots for games. Focus on quality over quantity, get the games you want. If you can flip T2 and the cash into a game you want you'll have 2 games you really enjoy, and 2 more spots to find similar games later. 2 good games > 4 okay games, unless you're throwing big parties a lot.

Don't buy Star Trek. Get something more different than your T2. I personally tired of my Star Trek Premium pretty quickly. It was fast and smooth, but not interesting to shoot, the rules were all very similar, everything returns to the flippers, and you have to enjoy trying to work big picture scoring strategies to have any real fun. Get a game with more variety. Play your T2 hard, sell it after tax season, and get that DI.

Metallica is a great game, IMHO one of Stern's best ever, that's a great foundation. T2 is a fun game, with great sounds, but not a game with amazing longevity, which is why they tend to be great first pins and change hands a lot, it's one of the more reasonably priced solid DMD games. If you love it, keep it, if you don't, flip it.

What about Houdini, if your going new that is...

GOT pro...best bang for the buck.

Personally, I think Walking Dead and Iron Man spank Star Trek.

Get a Gomez game. LOTR, sopranos, Batman dark knight, B66, etc.

I just wanted to say that now is a great time to buy a third in my opinion. Whatever you do get. Now is the time. One of them.

I have my eye out for a second and a third. But I am moving on the first of March. It's all coming together. Good luck.

TWD Prem by a mile

Not sure I understand what rampy means. If you are looking for certain styles of pins it's important to get out and play to see what you like. ST is a good game. I definitely agree that the pro is the way to go. Yes you miss out on a few nice features but cost difference is significant. I had a pro but recently traded it away. It's a great pin but was the easiest pin to let go that I had. I played mine a ton and was time for something new. I love games with more than 2 flippers. Maybe look for a pin with an upper flipper to add a little something new to your collection. If you can swing it, DI would be my top choice for any pin produced in the last few years. ST pro and SM can be found a lot cheaper. I love 90's B/W pins so many great choices there. New pins are great but nothing buts great classic pins.
