Quoted from f3honda4me:

After playing star trek yesterday, my wife is seriously considering us buying both WOZ and ST lol! Or GotG and ST. I should update the poll, but I think the feedback I've gotten from you all has been much more valuable than the poll. A lot of very helpful things, including some aspects I had not thought of. Heck I wasn't even considering ST until several of you mentioned it!

Dude don’t do both Guardians and ST; something about both their rulesets that don’t let them mesh well together in a small lineup. WOZ and ST would be amazing next to JJPOTC and AFM. To me, WOZ and JJPOTC are JJPs best 2 pins. WOZ is as great as JJPOTC - it’s both brutal, fun, deep, with lots of variety, and amazing theme integration. The display isn’t nearly as good as JJPOTC, and is probably the weakest of the 4 JJP games, but the game overall is fantastic.

Amazing 4 pin line up:
JJPOTC
AFMr
WOZ
ST (I prefer LE, it’s stunning and the light show is over the top. Don’t go with a pro, the left vuk is donkey shit flow killer and no lasers and light show is a big miss for the theme).

Quoted from rai:

If I can piggy back on this thread, I could add STLE but have owned it before or should o get something new like JJP Potc? Thing is JJP Potc looks overwhelming and overly complicated (I feel same with SW which I played didn’t know a damn thing about what was going on). GOTG seems more approachable but I do already have IM, Tron, Met and Twd pro so not sure I could stomach another Borg pin.

JJPOTC is probably the best pin ever created. The rules on the surface are actually quite easy to grasp. 6 areas on the pf to represent the 6 multiballs, and 6 areas on the display to represent as well. Chapters are not modes, but rather chapters of one of the 5 movies which you collect characters (souls) which are used for the final wizard mode of that movie. There are 5 skulls on the pf, each represent one of the 5 movies - shoot a skull to qualify a chapter for its movie, shoot the star map to start the chapter. It really is that simple, and If you can’t grasp that, then you may want to stick to arcade games just messin. The advanced rules, like all great pins (TWD, MET, WOZ, etc...) are learned later as you begin peeling back the layers.

As for SW; it is much much more complicated than that. That game is more dependent on learning what the countdown sound effects mean, but that’s another topic at hand. But I will say this, there’s a reason why a lot of great players (i.e. deadflip) like SW; the game is crazy Adrenalin once you learn the complex ruleset. And once you learn it; you’ll realize it’s not so complex after all.
