    LOTR by a long shot. Please put up a poll. I'm curious how much of a landslide this is

    I bought a NIB LOTR and sold it after a few years. The flippers would heat up and slow down and I tried putting cooling fins on them and the ring shot would piss me off when I'd make a clean hard shot but the damn magnet just dribbled and dropped it. So I dunno, I liked everything else about it and now there are probably good fixes for everything that ticked me off. Never played a POTC. So I go with LOTR.

    Well I picked up my new to me POTC this evening. Pretty excited. Possible LOTR in the future.

    I have both of these machines and you really cannot go wrong with either choice. That said, they are very different games as many have alluded to. I enjoy POTC when I just want to play some pinball: not a complicated, deep ruleset and for the ham fisted wally of a player that I am, still challenging. When I play LOTR I need to reread the ruleset and that is not a bad thing.

    Evidently, not so much.

    LOTR is a long playing per ball game but Sterns Pirates bored to ☠️, LOTR plays better

    Quoted from LTG:

    From my customers point of view. Stern Pirates is fun. I no longer have LOTR. Game times on it can get long.
    If you ever head south of the sticks. I'm in Hopkins MN. 4 hours from you. If you'd like to try Pirates.
    LTG : )

    Very nice to offer. I actually picked one up yesterday. I think I'm going to love it plus I can look forward to LOTR in the future.

    Thanks!

    I had both games. Sold LOTR years ago. Ball times were too long. The build quality of Pirates was better than LOTR. I still have POTC.
