If I had to go down to only four games these would be my four (from my
collection): TZ, AFM, CV and NGG. I had TAF and sold it. It gets pretty
old in a home environment. I think Funhouse and NGG are way better. NGG
is essentially the same layout with the addition of a ramp and some
clever twists. NGG is an awesome game and great for the family as well.
My vote (out of the two) goes for NGG.
If you are considering other games think about AFM and CV. Both awesome
games and alot of fun. They are on the higher scale (in terms of
price), but certainly worth it. Both are very different (in terms of
play) than what you have.
A few folks have suggested a SR pin, I would highly suggest playing
before you buy it. I like his games. I've had several GetAways over the
years, enjoy T2 & NF, etc. but they don't have the depth that I like at
home...except one: ST:TNG. That is an awesome pin! That is another you
could consider, but, to be honest, I prefer AFM and CV to my ST:TNG.
ST:TNG is also one tough game and, at times, can be super frustrating
Definately in my top 10, though. Another thing...newbies don't
really like the game as it is a drain monster. My kids (aged 4 and 2)
love the space theme and the ships
You might also consider IJ. Awesome game, lots of modes (like TZ), cool
mini-playfield (like TZ), cool license (like TZ), etc. I had one, sold
it, missed it, and just got another. This game is a keeper!
I know it is tough deciding what game to add when you only have so much
room. The good news, if you buy right (good condition and price) then
you can always sell it down the line for what you paid. That has been
my strategy building my collection.
Good luck!
