    Hello, I am just getting into the hobby and have a Stern JP premium on order. I was planning on adding a second game for a 2 pin collection. I’ll be limited by space to add anything more. I played DP pro, which I enjoyed… but am wondering if AIQ would make a better pair with JP. I would be looking at the premium models for both DP or AIQ. Appreciate the input.

    Deadpool. I've had Deadpool, AIQ, and JP rotate through my basement. JP and AIQ are made by the same designer (Elwin). Deapool is made by Gomez. Deadpool appeals to the beginner to intermediate player with more to do at the beginning of the game. Jurassic Park and AIQ appeal more to the better player (especially JP) and have more to do toward the end. Deadpool is an excellent game that pairs well with JP. The DP Pro is also really good for a pro and plays a bit faster than the premium as it lacks the drop targets that slow down play.

    ^^^ This 100%

    ^^^ Deadpool is the better machine.

    Now, I LIKE AIQ, it's hard. As you play thousands of games of pinball, you appreciate games that have tough-as-nails modes for the challenge they provide. However, a dozen years from now, Deadpool will likely still be higher in the rankings of the best pinball list than AIQ.

    Get Deadpool.

    My wife won't even go near AIQ after trying it a handful of times. She likes playing DP and would kill me in my sleep if I swapped it out for JP. To me JP is more challenging / more to do and maybe a bit more fun to shoot, but DP has a lot more theme character to it. Same deal with AIQ.

    Thanks for the replies blizz81 PinRetail Wmsfan-GAP Only_Pinball SantaEatsCheese
    Seems like I’ll have the most well-rounded 2 pin “collection” if I go with JP plus DP. Now just to decide on premium vs pro DP.
