27dnast is right... ish. IM won't last that long for you in a one game collection. However, it will rock while it's there. I love IM. It's a fantastic game, but it needs other games around it to keep it interesting long term. Long games are not a problem.

Spider-Man suffers from your same issue LOTR does. The games can be very long. Once you get the shots down, competition can be a long endeavor. It's more of a solo game.

I've never liked IJ, so that obviously taints my opinion of it.

With only one spot, you just have to commit to owning everything one at a time. Rotate out once they get boring. That also gives you the opportunity to bring in classics for a visit. My current classics obsession is Stars, but there are dozens of great games from the 70s and 80s that are worthy of a few months visit.

Quoted from Lermods:

You are either a world class player or your game is set up way too easy if your average score is 100 mil after 500 plays.
I'm a decent player and my high in the original is like 160 mil or so. All factory settingsettings, 3 balls, with save post. I'd say I average about 20-30 mil, ill have to check my audits. If I miss the left center ramp, the ball will roll sdtm almost every time, tough game.

I don't know if SKB is world class, but he is crazy good. He understands games and scoring strategies that most people completely miss. His explanation of games in some club threads are amazing reads. Him having 100 mil as an average score from 500 plays actually sounds low to me. Maybe he needs to up his game

(His explanation of Star Trek is the whole reason I ended up loving the game)
