Wife wants to get rid of them all before we move house. I'm now down to two. Realistically we are downsizing so it might go down to one or sadly none. Or maybe I end up keeping both? I just don't know.

Which is next to go I can't decide. I love them both and they are very different. So which would YOU keep? BSD or TSPP?
 
I've also had both and at this moment got a Simpsons but my biggest regret is selling Dracula so for me if I had a choice like yours I'd keep Dracula I know it's a hard game with mostly short ball times but when you start making those shots there's no better feeling and also one of the best video modes.
 
Simpsons just because of the sheer amount to do. BSD has one thing you are going for really which is stack the 3 multiballs which is a great rush when you get it but it happens once every ten games so it can be frustrating trying to get there. Simpsons has way more to keep players of all levels occupied, BSD is brutal and everyone is trying to do the same thing.
 
Obviously BSD since I sold you my TSPP and kept Drac ;)

As much as I love TSPP and it has loads to do, it does get boring after a while. However, if you have non pinball family and friends playing, TSPP is great whereas BSD is super unfriendly, to put is mildly.
 
BSD is an utter turd of a game. When I first started collecting I thought I’d love it. Nothing could be further from the truth. About as much fun as being kicked in the knackers. It’s almost as bad as the film and that’s a challenge. Not quite Transformers bad but getting there.

Not a huge fan of the Simpsons slog fest either.

Guessing I’m probably unlikely to buy either of them. 😉

I'll go for BSD as well over TSPP.

I thought I'd love TSPP with the depth and so much to do, but after a short while it became boring and a slog to get to SDMEWM - was happy to move it on.

Although it depends (as with so many other games) on your skill level as to what your goal is going to be - start the modes, play main MB, stack modes into MBs, reach the mini wizard modes, reach the main wizard mode, etc. etc.

BSD is really a one trick pony, go for the triple stack - but it does it so well. It's difficult to get, but not so difficult as to be out of reach for most players. That's what keeps bringing you back to it.
 
Ok, decision made. I'm going to keep BSD if possible. TSPP will probably be up for sale in a few weeks.
 
I own and love both. BSD for 6 years, TSPP for 5 years.

Both are awesome in different ways.

TSPP has a deep ruleset that rivals most of the new games. Love the 5 flipper set up and playfield layout, and the super jackpot shot has to be one of the hardest shots ever to make, (hitting the tv then the couch means taking your eye of the main flippers, making it hard to multiball going). Annoying music and lack of Marge / Lisa callouts only down points for me.

BSD, love the theme, it's a great game to brush up your skills, make sure you have the lightning flippers for the full brutality. Simple but very challenging rules, 30 million shots don't come often but when they do what a rush!

Really not sure whiuch would go first, probably TSPP just because it's worth more. But I have many other games that would go before these two.
