The Simpsons or AcDc premium would be my choice.

TZ is unique in my mind, it's like everything but the kitchen sink. It's got the best toy ever (sorry MM, sorry PotC) the gumball machine hands down and the power ball are genius. The upper PF is boss as well.

I owned one and have it rated as top pin of all time, while I know MM holds that spot, MM is same/similar layout to a lot of pins. TZ is a bit different with two shooter lanes, four flippers, magnets, power ball etc..

One thing people dislike is the pop bumpers which I think people try to avoid due to its 33% drain (or whatever). I think that's a fly in the ointment.

It's older, I had mine LEDed but didn't think it looked as nice with LEDs however I didn't know about OCD board at that time which might have toned the LEDs down some.

My machine had some intermittent power issue where if you were in multiball it would shut down sometimes I think it's a power issue that might be common, the clock is finicky and while I like mods, sometime I find people go overboard and put a crap ton of mods on (my pin as well) where you get to a tipping point from just the right amount of mods you need some but don't want to crap all over the PF with every singe mod known to man.

Great game (IMO) especially the upper flipper shot to the camera, the upper shot to the piano, the subways slot machine hole as well as the ball lock shot (robot) which is a fun shot to make and it's not a gimme since you need to hit it jsut right.

The call outs and music are great, I'm not sure about the rules don't think I ever really understood what was going on half the time.

It's just to me a hard machine to dial in and keep running, I had mine shopped by a pinsider and found it played worse (or different) than I was used to after the shop job I didn't like it as well as before so I sold it. I've played a few and they all feel different.

If you want rules and a game that really is made by its code and (including call outs). TSPP is the one.

Even if you don't get the game it's worth reading the rules just to see how good and deep it is.
