    The system 11 pins are my favorite bang for your buck group. High Speed, Taxi, Pinbot, Whirlwind, etc.. Those can be had for that range and are a blast to play. IMO

    Quoted from mystman12:

    Yep! At this rate that's probably what I'll try to get. My Dad and I got pretty addicted to Mousin' Around at Pinfest last year, There's a Big Guns at a nearby arcade that I really enjoy (That is, when it's working. Haven't played it in forever because the left cannon doesn't keep the balls locked *and* it's sitting next to a LOTR that's in amazing condition!), Earthshaker is a game I'd consider (It just has some amazing art and sound, imo, love the layout, although I would need to find a family ROM to go with it and I worry I'd always think of it as "Not Whirlwind" ), the list goes on!
    The only thing I worry about with the earlier system 11s is, especially if it's my only pin, will I eventually be able to max out the display on a regular basis? F-14 is an extremely fast and challenging game that I think I would really enjoy, but I worry that I would eventually get good enough that getting 9,999,999 points would be fairly easy. Is this true, or am I underestimating the amount of challenge in these game? (And yes, I realize I can adjust settings/playfield to make it more difficult)

    You are underestimating the challenge in these games.

    Earthshaker is a good one. The price seems fair if it's working. I know that some guys say that it gets boring in a small collection. You can probably sell it for that price if you get bored.
