Quoted from Pinballer67:

I prefer it to the newer Stern.

Quoted from mittens:

It was the first pin in my collection and still one of my favourites. It needed a major overhaul when I first purchased it but has been running very well for the last 10 years with no significant problems. I think the game is fantastic and the voice call outs are brilliant. "Get the extra ball", "one day you'll learn to play pinball","The Picard maneuver, nicely done". Getting the cast in for specific recordings really makes the game shine and imho, really lacking on some of the newer machines coming out. Well worth $4500

Quoted from etien:

Well I have a STTNG, a TOM, a WH2O, a TZ, a babypac and an IJ. I would sort them as follows, knowing that they are all very good and entertaining ( the babypac is an acquired taste ):
1. IJ
2. TZ
3. STTNG
4. Babypac
5. WH2O
6. TOM
Don’t know if that helps, and yes the STTNG is a pain to maintain, so don’t buy if you don’t have a pro nearby ready to jump in once awhile. ( so is the TOM btw, I would say the IJ, the TZ, WH2O are more stable, the babypac is a class on itself )
If you jump, 2 mods really add to the game: the lazers and the dmdcolor
Cheers.
