Have just sold SF2 and have enough to buy either Roadshow, Flintstones or No Good Gofers.
I currently own World Cup Soccer and just can't make the final decision about which machine to go for! Any advice and owners tips would be great
Make a poll for this.
Flintstones doesn't deserve to be in the conversation against these 2 IMO, total dog.
Tough call, they are all fun games, NGG and RS are Plaw titles, so they do have some similarity's, Flintstones is a fun quirky game, biggest drawback was it was based on the movie not the cartoon.
NGG wins by a humor hair, the gophers mock you and have some pretty good lines. The hole in one shot simply never gets old.
Laugh it up guys, but SF2 is funner than any of those others.
I've owned all three...
NGG and Flintstones are very approachable for the casual player, where Roadshow takes some learning to get a feel for what's expected. Roadshow is, by far, the most difficult if you are trying to complete modes. All three have decent eye candy and "toys".
Of the three, NGG was more of an "instant hit" in my house, but I miss RS more.
We still have flintstones. And there is a surprising amount of depth to the scoring, but it doesn't get in the way of the casual player.
Good luck with the decision!
Flintstones. With all the new mods, adult translite etc. and a deeper game then most will know and tons to do!~SpOoKy
Great advice guys! I was tending to lean towards RS or NGG. I sold my SF2 for $2700. I live in Australia. The machine was in great condition but it was a pretty lucky sale... NGG, RS and Flintstones are all currently on the market where i live all for $2750 so a pretty good swap I think!
The only thing that bothers me about RS is the linear game play, sort of similar to WC94 in that you're building towards the final game although WC94 has a lot of side goals.
Tough decision, I think RS might win out as it's closer and from a more reputable seller..
You guys are awesome though, I'm rather new to the forums. thanks a bunch!
Quoted from tjsynkral:What's a SF2 go for these days anyway?
Got me wondering the same thing. I think they can be had for around a grand in decent condition. If I was to have to pay what the others are fetching, I would look at other titles. But I have the taste for spicy.
It seems the difference in the Australian and US pinball markets is pretty significant. We're pretty influenced by the Australia Dollar against the Euro and USD, at the moment with our dollar up prices seem to have dropped through the big importers here. You'd never get a decent DMD machine for under 2000 here.
Quoted from Gerrard17:I paid 1900... so a very tidy profit.
Then I am now resigning my post as your advisor. Gooday!
It was a case of I didn't really need to sell it but I thought I'd put it online for a price that I could then get a top 40 machine with..
I have had all 3 NGG got boring after 1 month- gone. RS is better but the theme got old and the taxi-cab sucked-gone in 2 months. Flintstones is still here after a year and going strong. The game is fun and loved by all my family and friends. Just get rid of the movie pics and change to the best cartoon of all time. Bowling alley is one of the best toys ever.
RS for me. I had it and regret having sold it. The one thing linear are the cities from East to west coast. Only drawback : weight !!!
NGG humour very quickly got on my nerves. Hole in one is fun but... That´s one shot
Flintstones is family friendly. Drawback : unbalanced scoring ( multiball jackpots )

So is there non linear goals on RS that you can go on the side while the cities are the main goals?
