Most Stern games fall into a range of good to very good to great. Truly bad games are rare, as I can only think of a handful of Sterns in the past decade plus that I would not take for free. My list of pins to avoid includes: NBA, BBH, IJ, WWE and WNBJM/Primus. It is not uncommon to wait many years for the code on some games to mature and to bring a game up to the level of good. If you want to buy a game, there are plenty of very good to great pins to choose. Good pins are at least enjoyable to play on location. Glad Rarehero has discovered JP.
