[QUOTE="Slam23, post: 226303, member: 896"] Theme, depth/ruleset, gameplay/flow, visual wow factor: [B]LOTR[/B] I played it to death on VP, even reached Valinor twice and kept the highscore of 1.5B for some time on that particular version (JPSalas v2.3 for connaisseurs). I own one now (regular 2003 edition) and it will take a couple of years to reach Valinor for real -if ever-. I'm real happy when I break the 100M barrier and actually complete some d@mn modes and MB's... :) So for longevity alone I would choose this one. But also for abovementioned reasons. It sits between a NBA Fastbreak which I like for it's theme and fun combo shots but is not a real popular table, and a great Indiana Jones '93, which is a fan favorite and like LOTR also a top 10 Pinside machine, and LOTR steals the show everytime I have people over. Offcourse AFM, MM, MB and TZ/TAF are all great choices. Love the TSPP ruleset BTW, same or actually even more depth than LOTR, but not that big on theme and shot layout. [MENTION=446]invitro[/MENTION] : these are the differences between standard and LE (as ripped from IPDB), so no real ROM/gameplay differences as with TAF/TAF LE: "Here are the factory changes that differentiate the LE version from the original version: • The backglass is real glass (not a translite) with a mirrored gold effect. • Extra clearcoats on playfield. • 'Armies of Middle Earth' plastic figures were not used. Therefore, no mounting holes exist in the playfield plastics for them. • Playfield is signed by Gary Stern and George Gomez. • "Gold" trim. The lockdown bar, legs, hinges, and side rails are plated and polished. Gold trim around the backbox. • Game has the option to add a Shaker Motor. • Leg bolts and hinge bolts are brass plated. • The speaker panel has a "500 Game Limited Edition" plate and gold painted grills. • Certificate of Authenticity signed by Gary Stern. This game has the option to add a Shaker Motor which had not been the case for the original LOTR game. Lonnie Ropp confirmed to us that he added the Shaker Code to the original Code and it had been 'secured' with a new PAL chip version." [/QUOTE]
