See if you still agree when you sell it -- you will eventually, take my word on that.

Ya, I probably won't own F-14 forever, but I'd still rather own it over IM. Playing IM feels like work, it's not fun IMHO.

Yes... I am not a fan of Ritchie and Lawlor games... BUT... I like Dolly Parton, Genesis, Future Spa, Time Fantasy and Scorpion. So I am not much of a reference when it comes to pinball tastes!
Duane, I have not played all Sterns, honestly just the ones that SB has had in the last couple months or so, and I have not had the oppertunity to really feel them out or explore everything. My comments just come from the limited time playing, so that may change. I hadn't played CV or TOTAN until the Toronto Pinball show though, and loved the hell out of them within a few games, that is what I go on.
The artwork to me is important to some degree, as I have all of these in my games room, pool table, large bar, big screem and such, so I have to look at them. I don't have a dedicated pin room. That is why in a previous thread I said I could never on STTNG, can't stand ST, and would have to look at it. I think that is why a lot of people don't like TAF, and I understand. The theme, regardless of the play, is going to be a part to some degree for some people.
I mean, regardless if you like Lawlor or not, and regardless of how you feel about Funhouse as a game, I'm sure there are lots of people out there that can't play or own this because of that creepy head and BG. If I brought one of those in my house, my girls would not sleep until it was gone...

So far, I think you are in the minority. Most reviews seem pretty positive. For purely selfish reasons, I hope others feel the same so I can pick one up cheap in the future -- like my HUO T3. I doubt it, though. The game rocks -- my opinion of course

Fair enough. I think it would also be fair to play a few before you slam Stern and make a global comment like saying they should be creative with their skills shots, don't all need to be lane change, etc. Just my .02.
I don't like TAF the layout just doesn't do it for me. I love my TZ. Just played a game the other night (hadn't in a while since I got my other machines ). I like machines with med to long shots. Big fan of T2, IM even SM. Yes huge Ritchie fan. I also agree T3 is a great game that is underrated One of my wife’s fav but SM might have taken that over.
It's good to have a Varity so if you feel like stop and go play TZ, TSPP FG LOTR and RFM. If you want non stop play IM T2 SM even Taxi. Hell I have so many I don't give them all the love they deserve. Hell sometimes I want to shoot stuff so I play Hyperball
