Guys, I was reluctant on posting this but decided to do it. I have a extremely nice No Good Gofers - possibly HUO. I love the game, but have an opportunity to use as part of a trade for a Safe Cracker.
I prefer Safecracker, but it does not fit into a normal pin lineup. And it looks odd/bad if you take the two "wings" off. So you pretty much have to have the right spot (some odd corner maybe?) to fit it in. If you like your NGG (which sounds like a good one) you should probably keep it.
Ive owned just about every PL game made (the good ones, not the crappy ones he did at Stern ).
Safecracker had the absolute SHORTEST longevity/replay-ability of any game I've had.
Better play safe cracker first I only played it once and couldn't make it thru one game I was so bored, the only other game that was worse to me than safe cracker was gottliebs strikes n spares.
My vote is for SC. I had a Gofers for a while but it got old quick. Couldn't stand the music and annoying call outs. Plus all the mechanical noise the game makes, things are constantly slamming up and down. The layout is really fun to shoot, maybe my favorite Lawler game shot wise but it's really gimped by the rushed software. Super annoying when Buzz gets stuck up for the rest of the ball or when you hit a hole in one shot and it doesn't count for anything.
Guys, thanks for a response and really appreciate it! yes, I agree on the line up and does looks strange in a line up I think I have a spot for it without any pins next to it, so think it will be OK. My concern was the last-ability of the game! I personally think the game is over priced, but so are most of the games these days. When I play gofers, I have a blast but had it now for a while so it would be one to let go. My problem is always getting too attached to my games and always though to make the decision.
I did play safe cracker several times on pinball arcade. I think it is fun and unique... but hear when the rules are well understood it is a very addictive game. The game I think is definitely for one in a larger collection. Definitely would not get as a pin in a small collection.
Thanks again guys and definitely helps me make some decisions here.

I got rid of my Gofers and haven't thought aboot it since. It's a fun game, but it's a bit of a mess. SC is more a museum piece for sure, but there's nothing like it. NGG is like a lot of things, and easy to find. Why? Because people get sick of it and sell it and don't miss it
