A little about myself. Not a great player at all. I did play last week in my first league night at the silver ball bar! Tied for first in the worst players division. LOL

I enjoy my T2, Addams, Twilight, Willy, G&R, as one person pointed out to me "you need at least one Stern", started looking at them and playing them and I have to say I have not found one I really want. I just stated down this path of multiple machines at home, plenty of room to build a nice game room. As one of the dreaded newbies spending to much money on machines (as per guys posting up here) the jersey Jack machines really grab me and my wife both. I will be buying every CE game Jersey puts out sight unseen, unplayed

So if you could what 3 games would you recommend and in order of your recommendations as well.

Thanks John

Quoted from ralphwiggum:
So it sounds like money is not a concern (congrats!).... That being said, what pulls you to the JJP games? The presentation, the gameplay, the artwork, the rules, etc.....?

The looks
Game play
Just seem heads and shoulders above other games in almost every category. Seem so interactive. One with the machine as a below average player.

Quoted from jawjaw:
If you have not found a Stern you liked, why do you want to get three of them?

I want to get at least one. I have much respect for the pin nuts on here. Getting to see a top three of you guys just gives me more data. Now I hope no one takes this wrong my apologies in advance if it does. I wouldn’t put a Led Zeppelin in my house if it was 1/2 price and I had to keep it. Looks cheesy, boring play field, seems like a budget 80’s game to me IMHO. Ive played at least 30 games on one.

Quoted from freeplay3:
I hate when people ask what games they should buy. Only you know what you like. With that said I will base my answers by what games you said you enjoy. From the looks of your list, I will assume you won't like the fan layout. TZ. TAF, Willy, and GNR are all multi flipper games.
Maiden
JP2
Spiderman

Thanks for your input.

Quoted from Stebel:
You stated you aren’t the greatest player so taking that into account.
LOTR - pretty much guaranteed a multiball everytime you press the start button.
Jurassic Park - (only played the pro) silky smooth game. Shots flow really nicely and not too difficult to understand.
The last game I think you should get one where the theme interests you. Music theme, super hero theme, or maybe you are a Simpsons fan.

Thanks for your post. Kinda narrowed it down to those 2 now. I have never seen one minute of the show or movie Lord of the Rings. I believe in Ireland we went to some movie sites of Games of Thones, kinda the same. Would having zero clue on Lord of the Rings affect playing the game. Definitely going to play one now and probably decide after that between the 2. Thanks again.

Quoted from PinballManiac40:
That's just one person's opinion. Get what you like to play, not what others tell you what to like.

I’m kinda weird that way, not afraid to listen to others advice and use it. I’m getting closer to dying every day and don’t want to miss out-on anything
