Frustrated

They'll go down a row of pins and 9 out of 10 say "crap...crap...crap...decent...crap...good one...crap, etc". All of those 'crap' pins they call out have all been thoroughly enjoyed by many OTHER people.

I know people who have done that in a stupid attempt to influence the value of certain games. ::) I once saw a guy register under about 15 different emails to try and drive up the rating on one game.

I really like STTNG (Star Tek The Next Generation)!
It's rated #2 but the price of it is lower than most of the top 10 they have listed on ipdb.
It's a great game and I think you can find it in the roughly 2k'ish range... (I got mine for $2400)

I like "Star Trek - The Next Generation", but NOT the pinball machine. Ive
Tried to like it, considering I like the characters and shows/movies.. but to me, it
does not play very well. Poor flow.
I think what you will find is that everyone has different tastes on machines.
A pinball machine is a big investment for most people... and so its better to
Try before you buy.
Go to some pinball shows and parties. Check with local collectors... as many are
happy to let you play a few games.
The first step, is finding out if you like Stop-n-Shot pins, or are more of a
fast-flow guy.

A few that I love that fit the bill:
- Twilight Zone (personal all-time favorite game)
- Attack From Mars
- Jack·Bot
- Pinbot
- Who Dunnit?
- Doctor Who
I guess you could argue that some of these are flow games, but really any one of these you can slow down and be very deliberate in your shooting. If you like stopping and lining up shots, DMD games are where you want to be because the ball stops a lot to allow video modes to start up and for things to get established.
