Quoted from pcprogrammer:So I'm pretty set on buying a WOZ. They are still out there NIB to buy, I'll probably get a standard, I'd buy a used one buy none ever pop up for sale near me so NIB it is. The WOZ will satisfy my wife and get her into pinball, so our 2nd pin will be more to satisfy me (I still want the wife and kids to enjoy it though.) My wife has stated she hates the artwork on TWD (ugly walkers, I get it.) I played Metallica Pro once and wife/kids enjoyed it. Haven't played TWD yet. I briefly considered GOT Pro but we haven't played it, kids liked the premium we played, I didn't care for it. We are a 2 pin house max, we have exactly 2 spots for pinball machines. We have owned 2 pins in the past, one older one that I got tired of working on so I sold it. I'm only looking to buy newer pins, I am more of a player than someone that enjoys working on them. We owned a Star Trek Pro and got tired of it and sold it, just couldn't get into the rules on it, seemed kind of linear and repetitive in the rules. What do you guys think, TWD or MET? Can't afford a premium for the 2nd pin. I'm a little concerned I'm going to miss out on a lot with TWD if I go with the Pro. I'd consider other NIB pins possibly, thought about Mustang too.
Metallica is the more friendlier playing pin of the two so you may want to go that route. But its ruleset gets stale pretty quick, at least for me, very repetitive - more so than ST in my opinion.
TWD is one hell of a tough machine. The pro is actually more friendlier than the premium despite not having walker bombs which makes it a good choice for you. It has such a great depth and breadth to the ruleset that its a much longer term keeper than metallica in my opinion.
So while metallica may be the more friendlier pin on the surface, the TWD is the better pin for long term last ability.
