I have the ability to get a stern nine at a fair price but I have no time on the game at all. I've watched a bunch of videos and it's doesn't seem to captivate me as much as SG,QS,SW and BG. Idk what I'm missing but the reviews I've read seem to rave about it.

Guys thanks for all the comments and please keep them coming. With what I've read I'm leaning towards scooping it up. With the another I own, these are the things I love about them. What really stands out for you in Nine Ball.....Is it the horse U turn, the open spinner, the extra long drop bank?

Qs... by far my favorit stern, things i love are, the middle drops, followed by the lite spinners. And the kick out on the left. The overall sound package I feel is the best for all stern of this era.

SG....my rant on SG....don't hate me but I get the rarity of the game but the game play is just not there. The cradle area can be exploited so much and the playfield is so wide open. The art is amazing and sound package is pretty good. I'm glad I have the ability to own this title but it's not a must play for me.

Sw....my sw is in desperate need of a new playfield but I do enjoy the shots, the upper loop shot is so awesome along with the sneak through passage on the right. I can't wait to get this one rwstored to really enjoy it.

Quoted from TheLaw:

Stargazer is beautifull, but I don't understand all the slurping it gets...id rather have a catacomb. Plus if you have one you csn sell it for a boatload.

See I had catacombs and nobody played it. I played it...kinda understood it. But it just didn't do anything for me. Atleast with Qs...when I hit those drops and it rips threw a lite spinner I get a smile on my face and that warm fuzzy feeling. With cat it felt like I was always fighting with it.

Most ppl in those treads gravitate to ballys, not that's there's anything wrong with them. Their just more common, most ppl haven't even seen a SG, let alone played one....maybe I'll bring my QS and SG to the CLE show this year
