Curious... of the nearly 100 votes, how many have played a production TNA or production Houdini?

Both are VERY different games and good in their own aspects.

I am yet to play a functioning Houdini production game so I cant comment on that one. I look forward to playing one and being able to experience it, but until that time comes, I have a lopsided opinion.

Quoted from Diz:

Get both Houdini and TNA!

seems odd to have houdini at $1 per play and TNA at .50 per play.

They are similar in cost and both games are brand new. $1 per play should be standard on all new titles

Quoted from NPO:

Simple. Houdini looks more expensive, has more bells and whistles, and the operator knows people will be inclined to play Houdini. Maximize those earnings.

route data shows that TNA seems to be currently out earning all other games at almost 2x

I thought maybe it was a oddball thing but I have spoken with 5 other operators and they all say the same thing. Price ranges from .50 to $1 flat on those and the ones that priced at .50 have told me they wished they had done $1 in hindsight (you can always go down but hard to go up)

Quoted from Ericc123:

I find it really interesting how much opinion can shift over time. I had a similar thread about a month and a half ago asking which machine I should buy between Houdini, TNA, and Guardians of the Galaxy. It was very clear that it was a two horse race from the very beginning and it was 35 Houdini, 35, TNA and only 11 GOTG by the time I stopped checking the thread. Now, it appears Houdini is more popular, but that might just be excitement that they are finally shipping games.

considering there are only about 20 houdini even built at this point... I think it is more of a reflection that Pinside is always hungry for the next new game!

We just like new pinball

Quoted from DerGoetz:

Well..keep ball times in mind...

Currentball times on tna are sitting around three min for me. From what i have heard houdini is pretty long ball times. I know mikes had a 20 min game he said.
