HAH! Neither, I had American cars.  :laugh2:

No, I see what you are saying and all but I just want to try and buy the best. I am trying to determine what makes what the better product here.

Retroblast is a trusted site.  I can't tell exactly what you are waiting for.  It's not like there is a spinner god who will appear on a beam of light and make your decision for you.  You have everything you need.  There are no bombshells here.  Nobody is going to come in and suddenly reveal that one of the spinners is made partially from the tailbones of starving Ethiopian children.  

They both appear to be solid products.  From what I gather (I haven't used either) the Apache has a better build quality.  The GroovyGameGear one ("GGG") obviously has a smaller footprint.  The GGG has a cooler knob.  The Apache appears to play perfectly in every game right out of the box.  The GGG has a much higher resolution (though the benefits of this appear to be questionable).  The Apache has a longer spin time (though the benefits of this appear to be questionable).

I don't know what else you think you're going to learn.  You're going to be super happy with either of them.  You're going to give yourself ulcers if you agonize over every little thing like this.

I say ask what you need.  I have tried to use the search function a lot to answerer questions and find it usefulness limited.  From my experience it comes up with about 80% non relevant stuff for your search.  People always say read the WIKI.  Well that only helps if it is up to date.  When you looking at something that is 3 or 4 years old I am suspect of its usefulness.  This is especially true of software that may have 3 or 4 newer versions than what is being talked about in the WIKI.

Well, they both are pricey... but if I were really torn and wanted to see first hand the authenticity of every spinner game and how it felt, I would honestly buy both of them, try out every single game with both, and then keep the one I liked better... Then sell the one for 20-30 less than you paid (which someone would most likely jump on to save few $$$)..... That way you are only out 20-30 bucks and you then KNOW which you like better....
