Re: Nostalgic Machine + Deep machine + x = 3 pin collection... solve for x

I have a "section of wall" in my house that has been zoned for pinball
machines, with full wife approval. I know I can fit 3 machines on this
wall... MAYBE I could fit 4 if the machines decide to love each
other... but for now I am going to operate like I can fit just 3...
and I currently have two.

The two are non-negoitable keepers for me... one is my Star Wars Data
East which is the one and only pinball I played a lot of in High
School... very nostlagic plus star wars theme, especially sound, is
awesome. The other is a nice LOTR that I have gotten that I am loving
the hell out of.

For my possible "last spot", just want some advice on what the rgp'ers
think would be a good compliment. Here are things I have considered:

Things that appeal to me personally in order of appeal:

1. Having a game with a bash the middle mechanic (like AFM or Spidey)
2. Having a third flipper shot machine (since the two I have are 2
flippers)
3. Magnet action!
4. Having something that is different than the two machines I already
have (ie not a newer stern or a data east)

Things I have considered/considering:

Star Trek TNG - Huge TNG fan, seems like a great pin. Little scared of
how many "Please help me fix my TNG" posts I see.
AFM - Love this game, scared of price
Ironman - This violates #4 pretty hard, but seems really fast and
furious compared to what I have, and has awesome magnet action.
Spiderman - I would totally violate #4 for this, but a buddy of mine
has dibs and we agreed to keep our small collections distinct.
Taxi - I just got some good game time on this recently and I can't get
this game out of my head, something about hearing those bells on a
jackpot...

Thanks!

First a prediction - you will at somepoint figure out a way to fit 6
pins. Trust me - at some point you will look back on your post and
laugh.

I ONLY had room for 3, and figured out a way to get up to 8 or so
(back down to 3 though - needed to fit in some other toys with that
room).

So the ones i ended up with, what i found to be the most fun - and i
feel like a broken record since i've posted similar advice here alot
recently - from your list - either SM or IM, with SM if available as
the suggested one. Great great game, loads of fun, will compliment
what you have, you cant go wrong. When you find room for 4, 5, 6, etc,
make sure you get an IM. Entirely different game than the others and a
keeper.
