    Quoted from BriannaWu:

    You have to explain your reasoning! Two of the same layout tables?

    He’s messing with you. No one would take either of those two to a deserted island, even if only stranded there (somehow with power) for just a weekend in a 3 pin lineup.

    The answer is you have to mix it up based on your personal taste. Three of anything is probably too much of a bias to a certain era. However if you just select one each of three eras, everyone will say you chose the wrong pin of that era. Half will say you also need TAF as one of them and I fundamentally disagree. A quarter will just say “3 Elwin pins”.

    Others will say two moderns and a classic or vice versa. That may be the case for many. Personal tastes.

    For me, today, I’d say AIQ (with sound clips that don’t audibly suck), WH2O, and Gorgar. But next week that may be EHoH, TZ, and Space Shuttle. To each their own.

    Quoted from BriannaWu:

    I’ve really enjoyed AIQ on location. But the callouts are so painful.

    It’s not just the callouts, it’s the actual sound quality. The sound is clipped. In a home setting it’s like listening to a walkie talkie feed over an AM radio. For such a good layout, the speaker farts are such a pain.

    However, if you’re somewhat new to pinball, JP Prem is a great looker of a game but SUPER hard to play for a new player. It has more tight shots than any recent Stern to date. Hopefully you get used to the layout as it can be a MF’er to shoot if you can’t trap up and control your shots. Good luck!
