    I have #metallica-le, Spider-man , and NBA Fastbreak. Only have room in my game area for 1 more. What should it be? I'd ideally like something that would spice up the variety of what I currently have. Not a fan of EMs, floaty games or super long games. The lower the price the quicker I could get it, but if a higher end JJP ends up winning out I could save up. A few I've thought about are Fish Tales, Whirlwind or Wizard of Oz, but I'd like to see what you all think.

    Lol. Maybe build a extension on the house for more pinball?

    Tales from the crypt certainly fits my theme and loved the show back in the day. Does the voice thing get annoying? That's what I've heard before and it makes me worry a bit.

    Regarding TWD and Iron Man, I don't think I want another stern. I really enjoy variety and different systems would be part of that to me. That being said, I can see TWD replacing one of my other sterns one day. Great game and unique layout.

    Never thought about F-14. Never played one either. What makes it so good?

    I like the NBA Fastbreak actually. I'm an old school NBA fan, so that helps. Leaning towards the tales from the crypt as it stands over fish tales now. Never played a Shadow or a Pinbot. Probably need to check them out as well. I liked TNA, but my kids didn't...

    Played a Batman 66 early code and hated it. I hear a bunch of people like it, but it's really not my favorite theme to try again on. Deadpool is just flat awesome, but I'm gonna stick to my guns and stay away from another stern. Played BSD at a show and wasn't much impressed. Shadow is a potential, but I don't like the theme much. Based on your responses, I'm thinking, in this order:

    1) Tales from the crypt
    2) Whirlwind
    3) Fish Tales

    The Fish Tales drops for me because it's simple like the Fastbreak and two flipper like fastbreak and Metallica. I thought initially about doing two fastbreaks linked, but after owning one for a bit, I think I'd rather go for variety. I'm torn about #1/#2 the whirlwind seems to have cooler toys, but I love the theme from tales from the crypt. The pinsound metal mod is right up my alley too.

    Quoted from Who-Dey:

    Why? Deadpool Premium blows away any of the other games that you mentioned. What's so bad about Stern that would make you boycott them?

    Oh they're not bad at all. I love playing them! I've played Deadpool quite a few times and I really like the shots and the LCD integration. The issue I have is that the play feels the same as my Metallica. It's easy to nudge and has a similar flipper feel whereas my NBA Fastbreak and Spiderman feel different. And before someone yells at me, I know Spiderman is a stern, but there's something about it's weight or how it sits on the legs that makes it significantly harder to nudge than my Metallica (or any other newish stern for that matter).
