Depends what you want. I bought a Top Card (which is still waiting in my repair queue) because of the three independently firing bumpers (unusual for a Gottlieb) and FOUR slingshots. I have a thing for random and fast games and, with no drop targets, there's almost no slowdown on TC.

Sky Jump's going to be a slower game where you'll be picking off the drops. Up and back, up and back. Still a really fun game and will sell for more because of drops. I'd say it's a bit "easier" than TC because some of TC's stand ups don't really have a line of sight from the flippers.

Both have great art for their themes.

You can't lose with either one.

Quoted from ccotenj:

yea true... if they had even needed one more relay or mech, they would have had to do a double-decker mech panel... i would NOT want to restore one...
of course, there is something to be said for diving in the deep end...

Yea. My first two were four player games; Williams Aztec and a Gottlieb King Rock. Very time consuming and it wasn't long before I saw the appeal of repairing a single player.
