I know they are both deep - which one is more fun?

TZ but ppl will vary

already have 2 TSPP 1 NIB & 1 HUO - TZ is still lives here and the
simspons do not

If i had room for both which I did TSPP still left so it wasnt a space
issue either

TSPP more of a kids game. TZ more pinball nuts game. E

I've had a TZ and had a TSPP. Sold both, but bought another TSPP
recently. It's a fun pin that appeals to everyone, not just
pinheads. It's plenty deep/hard for me, but also a game that my niece
and brothers can play. Both are great games, but TSPP has more appeal
to your average person. You can't go wrong with either though.

TwiZne wins by the length of a powerball in a photofinish. Simps has better
rules, but for plain old fun pinball, TZ just barely edges it out. Two of
the best games ever made.

I prefer the Simpsons, but partially because my TSPP is HUO and plays
so nicely. The TZ's I've had were not HUO. If I had a HUO TZ, I
might like it better. I'm more into fun and colorful games. I think
TSPP is far better in that area.

TZ hands down. Good luck selling your TZ now.

Thanks JD.

Asking because when i move my TZ (decided to keep the AFM - TZ just
doesnt get much play in my house anymore with IJ TAF SM and AFM
around), that i can have a back up plan of replacing it with a TSPP if
i ever wanted a deep game in the lineup (stange thinking, but it makes
me feel ok with the move).

I played TSPP a few times and liked it...

TSPP is a good game. First game... I scored decently... there after...
didn't do so well.

TSPP is a bright game too. GI is bright and from there it just gets
brighter. Definitely a good all around package.

Selling TZ?

My suggestion. Play the TZ again. Not a good bye game like you may
have had with a girlfriend before leaving to college but
a game in which you play it like it is the first time. YOU WILL SEE
why you bought it in the first place.
My lineup is TZ, AFM, SC, JD, BSD, TAF and I had the same feelings.
AFM was getting most of the play and TZ seemed so different that it
just wasn't grabbing
me. I had a friend over and we spent some time playing and I got the
groove back, the quality of that pin is by far and away one of the
greatest things you will experience in this hobby, imho.

Well that is my pitch.

I guess we'll know when we see AFM_SM that you've taken the leap.

Is this a joke question?

TZ CRUSHES TSPP IN EVERY CATEGORY.

If you sell your TZ for a TSPP you will cry later.

You left out the "in my opinion" part - as did just about everyone else
in this thread :)

To the original poster, why rely on others opinions? Can you not form
your own? :)

This is a tough question as both are fantastic games. I would say TZ
simply because it's my favorite pinball machine of all time, but I
wouldn't argue with anybody that preferred TSPP because it's simply
that good as well!

I would choose the TSPP I like the theme more and the overall package.
Thought TZ isn't a bad game there are many others that I prefer above
a TZ ;-)

Cliffy - i have already made up my mind - (lining up for a TSPP for
the future, unloading my TZ). I ask because i like to see the varying
opinion, and, helps me to qualify my thoughts when i see one or two
tspp nods - i dont have much experience with the game.

And to the person that says i will miss my TZ - most likely yes. It is
a genius design and fun - but ive run out of room and need to move
on.....

Hands down:
TZ, deep, fun and a keeper!
12+ years as a HUO and still a top favorite!

Owned a TSPP and sold it. Still have my TZ and don't plan to get rid
of it. Play TZ again as someone else mentioned. I found TSPP a
recognized title, unique and deep rules. Even with deep rules I found
myself bored. TDK now sits in it's place and I haven't looked back.

BTW...you'll have to change your handle then.

I've owned and sold two TZ's. Wouldn't mind having a third. TSPP I've
owned almost a year, can't ever see selling it. Which is more fun?
TSPP by a mile. Which is the better pin? TSPP but just by a hair.
