The next time I talk to Steve at a show, I have to ask him about something that has been bothering me for a long time.

Why is there a Weiand 8-71 super charger when the car is a Diablo?!?

For whatever reason, it somehow thematically "just works" though, haha.

If you can not hit those ramps consistently, you might as well not even bother. NOTHING to shoot for without them.

JM is a solid game, maybe more going on there than T2 honestly. And now that Godzilla Premium/LE has come out, it no longer has the dubious distinction of having the slowest toy in existence. I could take a nap waiting for the building to release the MB on Godzilla Prem/LE.

BK:SoR might be a pretty good fit for you. It's not a "loaded" game but it's a smooth shooter and feels alot like a 90s game rules wise.

I love GoT but I don't feel like it flows the way alot of people do. I find it really hard to play the ball live accurately and definitely have more of a stop and go approach, and you need to shoot the light lock spot targets alot, putting the ball out of control.

The modes and rules aren't as complex as they seem. The game is really more wide than deep IMO. There are alot of ways to approach the game, but the modes are relatively straightforward. Once you get a feel for which house gives you which abilities, that's about as "complex" as it gets. Great game though!

How about Congo?
Not mode based, very simple rule set. Fantastic multiballs. Amazing flow. This game is very underrated like T2 IMO. Ball times are very similar. Came out in 95.

Totan is also very good with a ton of flow. Excellent multiball. Mode based but extremely simple rules. Came out in 96

My final choice is World Cup Soccer. Many of the same attributes above and still very affordable. Came out in 94.

Good luck.

If “very nice” =
- fully working
- Play field and cabinets are 8/10 or better (no fade, play field clean with only minor wear at a couple of inserts and or play field holes)
- no upgrades (no colordmd, pinsound, powder, other pricey mods)

Then in today’s market, I think it’ll be hard to find for less than
$4.7k for Getaway and $4.2k JM.

Plan to add $’s for the pricey upgrades

If faded cabs dont bother you, you can probably drop those prices by $500 or more. Especially on JM.

I had a JM and though it may seem minor, one thing that really bothered me was the way the rollover lane indicators couldn't keep up with the game. It made lane selection useless and was probably the tipping point that lead to me selling it. Loved the speed and flow of the game though.

Yes, the player controlled rollover lanes for bonus multiplier don't keep up with the flipper presses when there is a lot going on, preventing you from getting the ball to go down the unlit lane. I believe this is common to all JMs.

I just bought a Johnny Mnemonic pin. I love the speed and combos. I haven't owned it long but have played it enough that I encountered a glove issue. The ball magnet isn't engaging.

So I turn off the glove and you have a different game to play. It feels like it needs some type of toy but once you get going and hitting the modes its a lot of fun.

If your into Gibson, cyberpunk or anything else related to the the theme you get into it or can forgive a lot.

I just want to get PinSound board and get some new audio tracks on it for now.

I'm keen on playing #star_trek_le. If these are two fast paced games that are similar it seems like #star_trek_le would be the choice.

I can't believe no one has said Metallica yet.. 2 Ramps, great flow, sweet orbits, one of the best bash toys & callouts in pinball. One of the easiest rules to explain to a new player. Bash Sparky, cemetery, snake & get multiball. Hit ramps for lady Justice, hit scoop to collect stuff. Hit enough stuff & get to wizard mode.

LZ flows and really fast
BKSOR pro is better.
T3 even set on difficult is way too easy. I do like how it flows however.
Metallica
HS is a fun game to run from the cops. Straightforward and easy.

I agree with this. MET is fantastic for many moods. It has great rules when you want them, but you can always ignore them and have fun bashing.
