Six months ago, this same question was asked but I was hoping the community could respond again. Here is the old question, lightly modified: Hey guys, I’m an absolute beginner when it comes to owning a new pinball table, but I’m really interested in buying my first machine now. I’m torn between the King Kong Premium and the Godzilla Premium. I’ve played both and honestly find both fantastic. Would you say one is clearly better than the other? Is either one more reliable than the other? What do you guys think? submitted by /u/Affectionate_Basis70 [link] [comments]
