I have been playing pinball for a while so I enjoy the hobby. I recently purchased GoT and I absolutely love the depth of the game. Unfortunately, I don't think this game lends itself well for me trying to get someone interested in playing. There is a complex set of rules that makes it fun for most of us but too involved for most people that just want to hit a few ramps and get a multiball.
I have always wanted to own Spider-Man which was the first machine I played that really made me consider buying one. GoT was my first pin purchase and I am an amateur when it comes to evaluating used machines. With that said I would like to stick to new machines. That is my background for the following question:
Would Spider-Man VE be a good purchase for accomplishing my goal of getting my friends more involved in pinball? I know it is somewhat overpriced but I don't foresee a near mint black Spider-Man coming for sale at that price point. I know this machine is a hot button topic so I'm looking for some qualified opinions. I wouldn't want to lose too much money when I sold it so I'm a bit worry about that. Thank you
