    Quoted from Bengarce277:

    Hello all, I’ve always wanted a pinball machine and I was hoping for your help.
    Anytime I see one, I play, but I haven’t had enough time or variety to figure out which one I would love enough and can afford to have at home. (<$3000)
    Of course gameplay is a priority, but I am also interested in artwork. I’ve read that most of the community does not like Gottlieb, but it seems that they have some of the best artwork to me.
    I typically do not like most of the sports, movies, and tv show themed pins, with the rare exception of Jurassic Park and Bram Stoker’s Dracula Pin to name a few. I tend to gravitate towards original themes based on sci fi and monsters. I really like Grogur, Firepower, space invaders , sorcerer, and elecktra’s artwork that is currently affordable on this marketplace.
    If you have any suggestions that fall into these parameters, please let me know. I’m inexperienced to most of this world, but I’m willing to learn.
    Fun to play
    Artwork
    Sci fi/ monster / original themed
    <$3000
    Thank you

    Best advice I have for you is to not be picky with your first game. Get whatever is in your budget and seems like a fair deal. Need to really find out if you’re okay with the maintenance and upkeep side of owning a game. If you’re not, it can get crazy expensive really quick (if you can find a good tech in your area).

    Pick the game up in person, inspect it top to bottom before taking it home. Bring a friend to help you move it.
