Greg, on Rudy: “I don’t WANNA think about him hidin out.” 😂

Star Wars Data East is the real Shiz Biz! You could get the kick back on the left and the dead save from the right outlane and play forever! I remember getting over 130 ramps one time but it never got old!

Guys, you need to update this list, and talk more about the pins you pick, love this video👍🏻

Star Gate was unbelievable, I used to play it at the Kentucky arcade until the flippers fell off!

I have a soft spot for Cue Ball Wizard. The Clint impersonation gets me laughing every time.

“You ain’t thinkin’ of leavin’ now, are ya?” The only thing I don’t like about CBW is that the scoring can be very lopsided, and it’s better to just time out the modes to get to the Wizard mode unless you can easily get to double scoring.

Funhouse is my favorite pinball machine. Love the show guys!!! Thank you for keeping pinball alive!!

Straight Down The Middle: a pinball show Thanks for replying. You are the best!!

Damn a lot of love for Baywatch! I need to find one soon (Greg)

Zach, I'll defend ya on Ghostbusters man! I swear every shot you make is sooo rewarding.. and every bricked shot makes you feel dread. Perhaps it should get the award for biggest emotional rollercoaster of a pin. At the end of a game, makes me always want to roll up the sleeves and get back in! Now if they can only finish it off with a great wizard mode with some good scoring to go with it! Enjoyed the episode, and game on! - ScreaminSauce

Jeff Claybaugh right on man I agree. Thanks again for watching the show!

Classic: Sing-Along. Color scheme and easy-to-understand rules combined with notorious drains and nudging requirements make it great for both beginners and experts. System 11: Funhouse. One of the most fun toys once you get used to it, like it or not, hitting Rudy in the mouth is fun Data East: Time Machine. Mainly because of the fake chimes on multiball being a cool touch Gottlieb: Street Fighter II. I get so nostalgic for this one, was one of the most influential games for me as a kid. Sega: Batman Forever. It’s like one of three Sega’s I’ve ever played. Bally/Williams: Medieval Madness. Attack from Mars is a better game, but Medieval Madness is more charming to me with the castle and the jokes and the artwork. Stern: Metallica. I really like heavy metal so a good pin with that theme appeals to me JJP: Pirates. Blew me away since I was only familiar with the Stern game. Spooky: Total Nuclear Annhilation because of all the cool little bells and whistles it added that normal pins didn’t have American: Galactic Tank Force because I respect the attempt to make a new IP and it’s generally a good game regardless Other categories: Revenge from Mars for Pinball 2000, Kingpin for Capcom, if you split classics into EMs and SSs then my favorite SS is Eight Ball

The X-Files is a very underrated game. One that is definitely not made for people just getting into playing pinball as the ramps shots are hard to make, but completely doable. It does have multi-ball that isn't too difficult to start which can make up for the difficulty of the game in general. The code isn't really different from other machines. Start the modes and then try to make the required shots to complete said mode and repeat. Plus, throw some leds into that to machine to brighten it up and you get one hell of a light show. X-Files is what i would consider a "shooters pin" as accuracy is key. I have one coming this weekend.

Classics: Fathom System 11: Diner Data East: Phantom of the Opera Gottlieb: Tee'd Off Sega: Baywatch Bally/Williams: Monster Bash Stern: Sopranos JJP: Dialed In Spooky: TNA Great video as always guys!

Grayont thanks bud. I like the future spa love.

Zach I know is apples vs oranges, but what would you choose, a perfect condition "Circus Voltaire" or a "Walking Dead LE"? I love your show guys!

I started building my pinball bank from 2001and stopped in 2006 and of my 15 machines many of them landed on your lists due to Game play and decent prices such as Indiana Jones, Twilight Zone, Star Trek, Taxi, Lethal Weapon 3, Tales from the Crypt, Jurassic Park, and Rescue 911. Lack of space and rising prices kept me from buying anymore.

LOL, I need to know what he said that was edited out.

Seawitch was my favorite game i could rack up free games on that like no other,also like firepower,xenon and flash.

Agree w the Whirlwind - I just found one non-DP pf with zero wear and a near perfect cabinet and head. Almost too good to be true.

Classic: Centaur! The artwork alone sets this game a part and I love accurate drop shooting. Data East: Jurassic Park System 11: Diner Sega: South Park (maybe the first pin I actually figured out and got somewhere in). Gottleib: Sharkey's Shootout Bally/Williams: White Water or Circus Voltare Stern: Ghostbusters (can't stop abusing myself with this game), but a re work of the art on walking dead would make it maybe the best game every made. JJP: Dialed In, but I still wouldn't own one until they actually put a game AND a theme together. Spooky: Rob Zombie, TNA is tons of fun, but not a home game imo and no one knows about Alice yet. I think Ghostbusters may be the best value in the used market over the new few years, because there's a ton of them in the wild and collectors aren't looking to buy them.

rask4p great discussion. I like the diner pick!

Additionally: Ghostbusters is my dream theme. Got it when it was new. Sold it after one year (wich not uncommon for me couse I only have room for one game). since this time in my opinion you can only judge a game really objectively when you don't own it anymore. Because GB (Pro) is NOT packed. Yes it has the city, the firehouse, Marshmallow Man and stuff but that alls just "stuff". The only toy is a Slimer bashtoy swinging to a generic song and the rest is a lot stop & go gameplay. GB is the ONLY game (well, ok BTTF as well to be honest) I won't buy back again. I loved it wehn I had it, yet couldn't find me playing it the last 3 months I owned it. Was sad initially when it was gone, but now I'm really really glad.

I don't like the heavy metal bands and 90% of the general public don't either.

Pinball prices seem to go one direction and that is up, of course at different rates. In my pinball bank, I do own Star Wars with a factory Darth Vader and Jurassic Park. Most important is the buyer a collector or player. I am a player so I can settle a little less in terns of condition. Deals can be had, but not by the dealers and a buyer needs to learn how to clean and repair their machines (if possible) to maintain their value.

Baywatch is great! - And a shitload of Ramps/ ways the ball can divert.

Classics: 1. Spin Out 1975 - only game I know where you can win 9 games in one game, without wrapping the score. 3 on points, 4 by completing 1234, 2345, 3456, 4567, 1 on special and 1 on match. Gets the top spot in part because I owned one. Pure old school pinball. Honorable: Xenon System 11: 1. Whirlwind Honorable: Space Station and Funhouse Data East: 1. Jurassic Park Honorable: 1992 Star Wars and Lethal Weapon 3 Gottlieb DMD: 1. Close Encounters of the Third Kind Sega: 1. Baywatch Bally: 1. Theatre of Magic Williams: 1. Star Trek: The Next Generation Honorable: Demolition Man Stern: 1. Game of Thrones Honorable: 2. The Lord of the Rings Also NASCAR deserves a mention Spooky Pinball: 5. Total Annihilation Jersey Jack Pinball: 1. Pirates of the Caribbean American Pinball: 1. Houdini

1 older all time fav 90s pin is addams i played it when new in the 90's i put a few hundred dollers thru it easy 1 sega is baywatch i play it every day 1 stern is iron maiden i love the band and the pin is awesome 1 EM is globetrotters its jus fun and it starts with the theme song. 1 system 11 is fire i think its system 11 and its just fun and dings so loud 1 JJ is pirates have never played a jj but its the 1 i really wanna try 1 data east is wwf royal rumble its the only pin i ever took gc from tommy skinner 1 gottleib is pistol poker i know its alvin g but its gottleib Awesome show they just keep getting better

Addams is the best old school pin I’ve ever played in my opinion although twilight zone is really kick ass too

The way they talk about games being 1 or 2 thousand and now they go for 3,4,5 K is so sad to listen to. Especially where I live in California pins are so expensive.

Classics - Centaur System 11 - Whirlwind Data East - Jurassic Park Gottlieb - Amazing Spider-Man (all their DMDs suck) Sega - X-Files Bally/Williams - Monster Bash (by far toughest category) Stern - The Walking Dead JJP - Dialed In! Spooky - Alice Cooper

I’m calling bs on the gottlieb review. It’s fine if you don’t like any system 3 games…fine. But then open it up to all ss gottlieb. Spirit, Haunted House, Black Hole, Class of 1812, Cactus Jack, Freddy, Mario Bros.,You’re coming off terrible. Gottlieb made some fine games and now at these prices are somewhat affordable. Freddy is a fine game with good callouts. You even said it was a nice cab. I stopped watching after that.

I agree, but I’m also assuming they hadn’t played a bunch of these when they recorded this… Alien Star, Tag Team are both great Gottlieb titles as well. If you can find a Bone Busters that works well, it’s also a fun game. Arena also pretty fun - I approach System 80 onward like their own beasts tho. So I find the fun in them.
