2 that I never want to own:

Medieval Madness
Ripley's Believe it or Not  

Give me a break. MM is no HH.

NO GOOD GOFERS AND MONSTER BASH,I like pins that are fun and funny.

TZ and NF.

Stop and go strategy play, and just plain go. Doesn't mean NF is a favorite title. It just means with two I would want contrast.

Quoted from Mrhide

you'll regret not buying the shadow someday you'll see ... you'll remember "that damn Mrhide told me to buy it from hardkor but I didn't!"  

Phil, pffft.... been there, done that.
Hey, what the hell, that one was even in your basement before I owned it. If you wanted it so bad... why didn't you keep it?

Almost there, grasshopper. Get a TZ and LOTR. You are set. The best games ever and the best games from both companies. Totally different play and you will never get bored.

Craig,

Have you played either of these titles? Both are great. MM, of course, has tons of followers. I have been fortunate enough to have some time on a Ripley's and it's a surprisingly good game. I really cann't understand what's not to like. Great layout, complex rules (hell, I still don't understand it), great modes, multiball, etc.

Don't know why I started this thread - nobody is picking my 2 choices - the two I am hoping to buy:

IJ and TSPP

IJ for me (not only for game play but I am a huge fan of the trilogy and it was a game I played lots in my past)
TSPP for my family (4 year old and wife love the show and the game seems great)

Can anyone help support my choices??  How does TSPP compare with LOTR?  opinions?

LOTR? I said I wanted contrast. Not Chaos.

Yeah as for games to never want... there is a hell of a long lineup of shitty games below RBION and MM. I don't see any reason to make such a statement. Well except the one is a Stern.

Someday I am certain I am going to have to post a retraction.....

TSPP is a great game and one you will never bore of. I've had two IJs. It's a good game, but I'm not sure it's a great game. There are a few things, that after awhile of playing, start to become annoying:

1. Too many modes. Yep, I said it. There are simply too many damn modes to get to the wizard mode. Normally that wouldn't be a problem but...
2. No stacking. You cann't stack the modes, so you have to hammer through each and everyone one. I love being able to stack modes (TZ, TSPP, LOTR, for example allow two or more modes to run at the same time). Stacking introduces more strategy into a game and provides some real fun scenarios.
3. MB is very, very lucrative and a relatively safe way to get points. If you can hit the ramps, and the centre targets, go for MB over and over.

In spite of the above, I think it is a fun game. I know it wouldn't work for me in a 2 game collection.

If you like Sterns go for TSPP and LOTR. Get them HUO and they will be in amazing shape.

If you like Williams, I'd probably do TZ and ST:TNG. Best bang for the buck.

If money is no object, LOTR and MM although both are fast, flowing games, you will never tire of them.

In the end it doesn't matter....you won't stop at 2....no one ever does .

Good luck,
Duane

I just picked up IJ a couple of weeks ago and it's a keeper for me.I also would't let NGG leave.If I had TZ,MB CV or TAF they would stay also.
