Well, it's official. I've got the pinball bug once again, and I'm going to be listing several of my games for sale in the next few days so that I can clear space and cash for pins.
Scared Stiff has been on my radar since CAX. Though I've only played it a handful of times, I dig the hell out of the theme, playfield, art, sounds, etc. I have a Monster Bash, and SS would look bitchin' sitting next to it. My biggest concern about SS is that I've been told that it's not a particularly deep game and can get old rather quickly.
POTC is a game that's just recently been added to my want list. I played it when it first came out, and thought it was underwhelming (though the pirate ship may be the coolest pinball toy ever)... but it's one of those games that I enjoy the more I play it. I played several games of it at a local arcade yesterday and had a blast. I like that the playfield setup is a little bit odd. The stop-and-go doesn't bother me, since I've got MB if I want to get all "flowy." I've got a pirate bar in my house, and POTC would make a cool addition to that area of the house.
What do you fellas think? I know SS is the more popular of the two with pin guys, but I'd love to hear some more opinions. Anyone own both? What's a fair market value price for each in good condition?
