Have the option to take either Stern POTC or Houdini on loan. Which one should I take? Anybody played a lot of both and have a rec?

Houdini for sure.
I don’t like Houdini at all but that seems like the perfect opportunity to get more games in and find out what people like about it.
Quoted from ectobar:Neither
Come on you wouldn’t take ANY GAME on loan? I don’t care what it is, any pinball is better than no pinball.
Quoted from pinmister:I would take the POTC because I would be concerned about something breaking or happening to Houdini and having to deal with it while on loan-no thanks.
What if POTC breaks?
Quoted from chuckwurt:What if POTC breaks?
Surprisingly POTC is a really solid game. Might have issue with ship motor but that is on a game with 1000's of plays.

I’ve seen more than a couple with absolutely bricked tortuga spinners and switch errors out the wazoo. My point is the breaking concern is valid for any game.

Yeah, he/she lost some serious credibility with that answer!

I don't care for Houdini and the POTC I get to play has been handing out some really cheap drains (that I think a better op would be able to deal with) so I'm mad at it. Mostly just being cranky. You're right though, I'd still take either under the right circumstances.
Edit, lol. I need to actually read stuff. I thought this thread is referring to the JJP Pirates.
Take Houdini

This place is getting out of hand.
