Jackbot all day and twice on Sunday.... Demolition Man is fun, but a little shallow in the rules department and really a waste of real estate on the left hand side of the playfield. Jackbot is a fancy Pinbot, but with much better rules.

BBH, son...Jackbot is pretty bitch'n though. Watch out, because it is the kind of game that doesn't take any shit.

Ain't that the truth. I set Jackbot at about 8 degrees, tightened the tilt silly, and dialed it in to be super sensitive.... I think my average ball time is right around 15 seconds.... The game is mean....

If you like a challenging game with VERY short ball times, Jackbot is the way to go. It is very rewarding when you have a good game on it, but it is pretty rare when that happens.

Shopping/repairing Demo Man is a pain, a few people i've talked to that have owned one said it was one of the worst games they've taken apart. Jackbot is on the opposite side of the scale, being very easy.

Well if it was my game room, Demo Man (which happens to be in my game room). Sure, people say it is a bit shallow. So what. It is a fun game. Make sure you have good flippers in it, and open the out lanes all the way. Smooth and fast.

I like the whole Pinbot series, but don't care for the card theme on Jackbot. The gameplay is fun though. I don't think it can compare to Demo Man though. I play Demo Man about as often as I play STTNG. It is just a fun game. I did like the movie though, so my opinion of the them may be higher than most.

Haven't played either one of them.

I've had DM for about 4 months now. I will agree with anyone that says the rules are shallow. That being said, it is still difficult to get all the way through all of the multiball modes and get demolition time. Open the outlanes and this game is plenty challenging and a ton of fun.

Jackbot all the way. 100%. I have tried to love DM, but it bores the snot out of me. It's got some cool ramps and I like the grips, but overall, just does nothing for me really. Jackbot, is essentially Pinbot recycled with a DMD and the gambling theme is really, really cool. You can even cheat on it with the gambling! It's just plain fun gameplay, a great light show and a cool take on the theme.

Typically I would say, Demo man - but since you have a Judge Dredd - Im saying Jackbot. Demo man for me plays a lot like JD as far as flow goes, wide body etc.

Jackbot is fast and can be brutal - thats what I like

Personal preference.

Demolition Man. I'm partial to licensed themes.

I have never ever gotten into the whole Pinbot theme, not even into card themed machines at all. Maybe I was molested by a deck of cards as a fetus. *shrug*

I owned a Pinbot and I just got a DEMO man. Two very different machines to be sure but I enjoy them both. You really can't go wrong.

Hollywood Heat.... no doubt about it. Best game ever BY FAR.

DM, cause it just feels good to hit the ramps! There was a thread started last week where they powercoated black...pretty beastly!

I play my Jackbot every night. It is a very fun, simple pin. Sound and lights on it are great.

I would look for something else first TBH, but Jackbot over DM very very easily.

Jackbot over Demo Man and Pinbot all day long.

Jackbot, hands down, imho. Hope you enjoy the new pin, whichever one you choose!

Space Shuttle is also one of my favorite pins. (see my profile) I think you've made the right decision!

You're very welcome! I know Space Shuttle is knocked a bit in the pinside ratings, but it works for me! I'm happy for you; enjoy the new (I assume) Jack*Bot! I know I would! BTW, if you haven't read my review of Space Shuttle...I was actually playing that pin table when the news broke of the Challenger disaster. How ironic.

Tough call. I'd say DM by a slight margin but only if the claw is disabled so you can't cycle through lock freezes over and over. Both are fun games.

Not even close Demolition man by a mile... I've owned a Pinbot, Bride of Pinbot (which is the best IMO but rather easy) and Jackbot. Demo-man is built like a tank and the sound is so much better than any of the Pinbots.. All the Pinbots are very easy to play, Demolition is very difficult to master. I've had Demo-Man for a few years now and I've only got to Cryo poison multiball a few times( unless you cheat that is, extra ball).. The ramps are awesome on it there's just a strange feeling when you hit all the combos. I think it's a mans game...

That's too bad. I'd take the SS off you anytime. Really want to find a project machine. If the backglass were available I'd consider building one from scratch, I'll find one sometime,.

Yes, I am selling mine. It will probably be gone soon. I've got a few people that want it.. Like I said before I've had all the Pinbots and they are great games, but I like demolition man better.. For what it's worth my wife and kids like the Pinbots..

JackBot! There's nothing else in your collection that's like it really so I think it would be a great fit.

If you haven't seen any of my previous threads, I am rewriting the rules for DM - I have 20+ beta testers and a few are running my code full time now. Expect a final release in the next month or 2. All that is required is a rom swap - no hardware to buy.

Demo Man is the better game IMO. I've owned both of them and grew tired of Jackbot faster than DM. The outlanes on JB are also drain monsters.

That's easy. Both.

Hoard away!
