Hmm I would say trade FT but that machine does not command a ton of cash. If you could get two system 11 for FT I say go for it.

I think variety is the spice of life so I'd be in favor of having a mixture of games. Depending on which sys-11 game you're going after, say Banzai Run, you may have a hard time finding one, even if you traded both FT and Shadow for it.

There are some pretty good sys-11 tables and if you like them then you should go ahead and see if you can find someone who wants to trade with you or sell your games outright and buy what you'd like.

Only played it once. Pretty cool. But May cost a pretty penny.

Eh... you've got 3 System 11 games and one System 9 game. I say keep the WPCs! If you were to sell the two of those and get four System 11 games, you'd be practically all System 11s. While they tend to be sweet, do you want your collection to be that monochromatic?

I have all Gottlieb SYS80-80B's, and i dont feel that way at all..

I would actually comment that System 80 and 80B allows for a more diverse collection than System 11s.

With those Gottliebs, you get some early System 80 stuff that feels like System 1 (which in turn feels like it could practically be EM.) and you get some semi-modern masterpieces like TX Sector, and games that almost feel like early DMDs. Hell, some of those games feel more evolved than some Gottlieb DMDs.

Because of the change over to Premier ownership, it's almost like you've got two different companies that you're considering one.

Yeah, i see that..there is a big spread there in design features from title to title..and sys to sys...

But still i have alot of both systems, and i never feel like i am lacking.. but i like what i like too, so his mileage may vary

YES !

IT IS !

Favorite game in my collection currently! That should say something!

Look at my collection....

There is not 1 there that sucks... are they deep like LOTR's ? nope but they are fun as hell....

some say they suck cause they piss all over Gottlieb games, and never really spent any time on a real nice shopped dialed in one..

Hence they suck !

They play crappy ones at shows, and get a bad taste in their mouths..

I gotta tell ya, if that was the case i never woulda ever bought a pin, there are rarely and good playing games at shows

Banzai Run is worth more than the shadow. Worth almost twice as much as FT. Super fun game that I would love to own someday.

I've been exploring the world of sys11 lately and have to say that I am having a blast with these pins.

Currently I have High Speed, Grand Lizard and Banzai Run. Not regretting any of them. Simpler rules than most WPC with goals that are attainable, pretty good storyline/themes and the gameplay and music is excellent on most of them.

Swords of fury is next on my list.

System 11's on the whole are very reliable machines... Just one GI plug that gets hot.

If you're into Sys 11 games I'd hang onto Fishtales. The gameplay/rule-set is very system 11 like in that it's all about multi-ball and jackpots. Probably why I like it so much!

I love system 11's! Lots of great classic titles. I recently sold a DM and kept my Pinbot, very happy with my decision.

I was offered a fully working FT for my SOF... Thought about it for 30 seconds but then I remembered that I really don't like FT.

A few early DMD are like this. T2 is another example. It could easily have been a sys 11.

I love Radical personally. I think its super fun, lots of ramps, LOVE the theme. I would say the biggest downfall in my eyes is that the jackpot award changes randomly, wish that it was a set number every time.
