BSD lasted maybe 3weeks. WCS is still here (had it for about 5mos.)
To quote Duane "BSD is a one trick pony"
I'm quoting Hippo who is quoting me
WCS any day of the week. I've had two BSD. Both gone and forgotten. I had one WCS, sold it, regretted, and I now have another.
BSD is damn hard to sell as well except to collectors. I know some would say that shouldn't factor into it, but it is worth considering.
WCS is easier to sell to families and newbies should you ever tire of it. It has a family friendly theme, bright artwork, and fun game play -- yes fun, not dark. A game you will find yourself coming back to again and again.
Ok I was hoping someone would change my mind, but it looks like I will keep soccer haha. Majority rules, everyone says keep it so I probably should. Have patience and get a better trade...

Ya gotta have one game with lightening flippers in a decent collection. They are definitely harder to use, even if they are just 1/8" shorter. That little bit makes you adjust your gameplay. I have Dr Who as well and eventually want to get a Fish Tales.
I am not a soccer fan, but do like horror films. Mind you Bram Stoker's Dracula was more of a scary love story. The game is unusual in that it doesnt have a bunch of modes to complete like many other games of the similar era. The key to high scoring is stacking more than one (three different) multiball modes in order to build the jackpot.
My fishtales has the lightning flippers on it, I don't mind them at all. PLus they have freaking lightning on them, they look way cooler than normal flippers haha

I currently own both. I think I could see WCS94 leaving first though. Just because its more of a challenge, year after year.
These two games are going to have the greatest divide among collectors. Both are love/hate games. Some cann't stand the theme of WCS. If you have kids, I cann't understand how the theme could be an issue, but I've read that time and time again. BSD, you either love the one trick pony (stack multiball) or you don't. You either love the theme or you don't.
This is one time I would say you really need to play the game and decide for yourself. And I mean really play it. BSD seems cool the first time you play it, but, for some like me, it gets old.
You said it : it's a player's game... obviously if you suck, you'll hate it !
I play pinball because it's fun. BSD just isn't for me. Those that love it, point out it's a player's game and love to attack those that don't love it. I like ST:TNG and Shadow -- both players games. I hate BSD because it gets old fast. I enjoy it at someone's house, but don't need it in mine.
