Basement battle-the final 2

[C-M-K]

It's a showdown between Namco Collection and Ultra Seven 2 Light. They both have the low odds, one is newer with a small screen, one is older with a big screen. I will buy whichever one emerges victorious here. I don't like the score inflation on Namco, it makes it harder to tell how much is being paid out, and Ultraman seems to have a more conventional bonus that I can understand. Help me pick between these two!

Neither…Juicy Honey 2

Pure simple enjoyment and Zen out Between Fevers .

Nah. Not my theme.

[lotsoballs]

Nah. Not my theme.

You’re right; the big phalic animatronic that pops up suddenly would likely scare you too badly!

If somebody was giving me one of those two machines I suppose I’d take Namco. Just buy whichever one YOU like most!

[C-M-K]

The animatronics aren't too bad on JH, it's the theme.

[C-M-K]

Jaws 3 got me good with the shark mouth on top.

Not into the ladies eh? Different stokes for different folks I reckon, there’s nothing wrong with that!

Well I don’t care for your themes of choice either…

[C-M-K]

They both look really good, but I feel like one will definitely be better than the other. Problem is I don't know which one!

[MrGneiss]

The Namco one appeals to me more, probably because I know nothing about Ultra Man.. But I find all pachis fun to play!!

[takethecastle57]

I have played the Spooky Pinball Ultraman machine about three months ago and it really rocks but all the production is already sold out


And this an unboxing at my local arcade Lynn's

Both picks kinda suck, if you want to play pac man, buy a arcade1up machine, thats why I don't like Namco, and Ultraman is just so gay, the jaws one seems better, so I can't help you

[C-M-K]

Namco has won. Ordered and arriving soon!

[quester]

the odds are 1/89, best to have 1200 to 1500 total balls, not sure if you machine comes with balls, but if they are like others, you get 500 with it, I would look for deals on more

[Goobie777]

Not too late to order ultra man! It’s more fun in my opinion.

[takethecastle57]

And after you get it :

Daverob Dongle with card reader

Ball lifter in back

The addiction is slowly taken hold

[C-M-K]

The ball lifter is not cheap, I think I'm going to hold off on that until I figure out how to have multiple machines on one lifter.

[takethecastle57]

One of our members just created a pretty good one for under $200

[lotsoballs]

Make sure that vendor doesn’t try to talk you into paying extra for “cyclic” aftermarket modification; eliminating payouts and making machine “neutered”. As other members have complained about being pushed to buy “cyclic” machines instead of unprocessed, real machines like most vendors sell (which can still be used in a parlor setting). You don’t want to get stuck with no payouts; it’s less fun and machine will be worth less; even though they usually charge more for it…

[C-M-K]

Cyclic is not my thing at all. I want to win and see how much I'm winning. But how much will I win on average? I don't want to have to refill constantly.
