Champaign, IL
After a lot of lurking on the site and obsessively watching the marketplace, I'm getting ready to buy my first pin.
I know it's a highly subjective question, but if you had your choice, what pin would be your first pick?

Quoted from mario_1_up:What pins are you looking at? Whats your budget? Pretty wide range on this question. If you asked me what muscle car I would buy it would be a boss 9. But my budget only puts me the mustang II range.
It wasn't necessarily for me. I was just curious, if anyone was buying a first pin what would you choose, so what's you boss 9 and/or mustang II of pinball?
Quoted from venom112:Tspp there are a couple in the market place and I bought that as my first pin and loved it so much so that I purchased it a second time. Very deep and fun game
I really need to play The Simpsons Pinball Party I hear great things, but I've never come across it
Quoted from RyThom:Id buy a game in the $1000-1500 range first to make sure you actually like owning, playing and fixing your own pinball machine.
I like this idea - when I finally make the plunge I will probably look at one a bit higher (around $3000), but I've done a fair bit of Arduino/electronics work in the past and am actually looking forward to the upkeep part
Quoted from Honch:I'd go with the game/games that turned you on to pinball in the first place. Assuming that those particular games are within budget. So for me it would be Gorgar, or a Black Knight 2000.
I've been looking at Jurassic Park and
White Water for the same reasons
Quoted from JB-7X:I also lurked around here for a long time while I was getting my money together to buy my first game. During that time I was out playing every game I could to figure out what I wanted to commit to. My goal was a NIB Metallica pro but I ended up getting a metallica premium with 150 plays on it for almost the same price as the NIB pro. As a first time owner I knew I was better off going new or almost new so I had time to start learning about the maintenance end of having a pin at home.
Now I’m ready to start scraping cash together to get the next one but still down to buy NIB for the general ease of not dealing with a testy older game . I’m looking at Iron Maiden but my wife has her heart set on Houdini after playing it at this years MGC.
Both of those are amazing games - I played both in Chicago at headquarters. If I splurge I might end up with an iron maiden.
