SO im looking at getting another pin for the gameroom and i wanted to know which one of the following would be more fun in the long run?

Starship troop or South Park. they both same price so that would not come into consideration.

Ive played both for a bit but didnt get to far into them.

thanks all

If they're the same price and roughly the same condition the choice is easy. South Park is worth quite a bit more. Game play is debatable and there are some real South Park haters out there.

I notice you're in Calgary. If you decide against either pin I would be interested in taking a look. Especially the Starship Troopers. I already have South Park.

EDIT: wow... there are some ridiculously priced games for sale in Calgary right now. I hope some of these people sell this stuff. I'll be sitting on a gold mine! ;)
Not referring to either of these games. I don't know what they're selling for.

I'm not a fan of South Park but I still prefer in in play compared to Starship Troopers. I'll play both but South Park comical value keeps me playing it longer.
 
they selling for 2k each and im still looking for a good deal and as we are all are aware not to many pins selling for decent price in our area. Ill have to look at condition. it will be a couple of weeks before i make my choice but there is a pub here in calgary that has ST and might play a couple before i decide anything.
 
I have both of them in a seven game line up. Both are good games for people new to pinball to play. I like to play a few quick games on each, but neither are games I would spend tons of time on. Not real hard to figure out what you need to do on either. South Park is a theme game. If you like South Park you will like the pin a lot more than someone who doesn't like the show. Knowing who the characters are and the jokes adds a lot to the game. SST was my second pin and I still like it, but if I had to choose from those two I would go with South Park. More to do on the playfield, kill Kenny and the toilet multiball. SST has that HUGE brain bug to shoot at. You would also be able to sell and get more for the SP if you got bored of it or wanted something else later on. Most SP I see around here go for around $2000 and SST are about $1400 US. Good luck on your new game!
 
I had both and sold both. Other guy was right that SP will have a higher re-sale value. As for game play...SST is tougher but repetitive while SP is easy and funnier.
 
I'd go with ST, although it should be selling for less than SP. SP is kinda cute but pretty repetitive/boring imo. ST is deeper, has some nice shots and more longevity imo. ST is on my list to own someday, SP is not fwiw.
