    Quoted from colonel_caverne:

    Hi there,
    i'm looking for another game and i'm hesitating between several ones.
    what kind of player i'm? Well, my pinball skills are arevage to average plus, like ramps (with diverter is better), depth rules but not too much as long journey games are not for me, with great jackop callouts (i has an important emotional factor in my book), like stacking too. Package sound and art are important but not the most.
    So the selction i have in mind is the following (not close to another input):
    - TOM (only very games played)
    - Goldeneye (never played)
    - fish tales (never played)
    - BSD (already played it and really like this one)
    - The Shadow (already owned it some years ago when i was not the player i'm this day. i'm a much better player, better enough to give it another chance?)
    i also would like a game that would be more approachable (than i already own) for my kids and it needs to be fun too.
    thanks

    BSD is a great game but not too approachable for kids, I’d go FT personally

    Quoted from colonel_caverne:

    I already owned WH2O and NGG in the past. Do not keen on own them twice right now. thanks for input.
    Poll added.
    Regarding FT, is it an easy and/or challenging game?
    what about callout jackpot? i really love 30M for BSD, it is a great emotional feeling. which game of the list can match this criteria?
    The price are very fluctuating and are very depending on the game condition. Would you say the price of a TOM is equal of the addition of 2 other games of the list?

    Here in the states, you could get both FT and BSD for the cost of TOM

    Quoted from colonel_caverne:

    It seems to be the same here in Europe.
    However, i’m looking for 25 years old games and find them in great condition is not very easy.
    FT and BSD are used to have faded cabinet and TS has always sanctum playfield wear.
    So FT, BSD and TS seem to build consensus here.
    Is there jackpot callout in FT?

    Yes, but nowhere near as cool as BSDs
