I have owned all 3 (currently own 2 of them) and it's an easy decision as to what is 3rd. IJ has fantastic theme integration, music/sound, and pretty good art, but it is a slow playing game with some questionable design and is a game I'd never own again. IM and SM are polar opposites as far as rule depth and ball times go, but they're both awesome. All games get old eventually, but these two have lasted a long time in my collection. I've had SM for about 9 years and IM about 6 years. That's saying something about their longevity.

Quoted from beelzeboob:

I really wish you lived closer to me. I'd have you over to play mine so you could eat those words.

Are you really trying to argue IJ is fast? LOL! The only fast shots on the game are alternating the ramps. Drop that baby in the pops and you can go take a crap and get back before the ball finishes up in the pops and dribbles out the left side under the POS (I mean POA).

Yes it's fast. You named the one slow part of the whole game. Again, if you're ever in my neck of the woods, you're welcome to stop by and see what I mean.

I know IJ, believe me. I've owned two of them. One had a restored pf that was like glass. It's still a slow game. It's a wide body with an open pf. It's just a fact, man.

It's really not. And I'm a speed freak. We'll agree to disagree...won't be the first time!

LOL...or the last!
