what would you rather own cyclone or earthshaker? Experiences with both please.

thanks
 
I think earthshaker is the better Pin of the 2 . Cyclone might get old fast having too hit the same shot all the time. Plus that spinning wheel is a pain in the butt!
 
I personally like Cyclone better. It could be that the few times I played Earthshaker years ago, I didn't really enjoy it. And the art on the backglass and playfield is pretty subpar in my opinion, which probably helps explain my lack of experience with the game as I would always be drawn in to some other nearby game. So feel free to discount my opinion based on lack of experience with Earthshaker.

But Cyclone is very enjoyable. Plus you can usually find Cyclone a little cheaper than Earthshaker, which is a nice added benefit. There is way more than just one shot in the game. You've got the comet ramp, the cyclone ramp, the spook house and the ferris wheel. All are fun and rewarding shots. Plus the spinning wheel on the backglass is a nice feature. There is no multiball, so that does take it down a bit. But it is probably my favorite non-multiball game.

And if you have kids, they will probably love it (my three year old regularly asks to play "Hey you, with the face!"). I have Twilight Zone, Pinball Magic, Cyclone and a mini-pin running hyperpin with 170 tables. By far, Cyclone gets the most play when kids are over. It is a pretty simple game for a novice to walk up to and play, yet it is fun enough that I still play it pretty often.

Anyway, there's my two cents. Good luck with your decision.
