DH was my first game and JD was my second game.......fast forward my years......I still have DH but not JD.
Once you get DH dialed-in and know the rules, it's a very fun game. It's real important that the flippers are strong and adjusted correctly. Rules are good and deep.
JD is a good game for all levels of player and easy to understand. The rules are not very deep, but not too bad. It is a much better game with-out the dead world mod, which slows it downand subjects it to "losing"ball count. That being said, it's not a bad game.
Edge goes to DH!
