Top 5 pins in my house of late would be

Black Knight 2000
Viper Night Drivin
Star Ship Troopers
Gilligans Island
Congo or Revenge from Mars.

Last month it would have been

Fishtales
Indianna Jones Widebody
Star Trek 25th Anniversary
Star Trek Next Generation
Godzilla

It changes all the time. Varirty is the spice of life.

Fair call Brett, with your lineup mate it would be hard to narrow down the favs with so many to choose from.

I dont mind admitting, that I thoroughly enjoy POPEYE widebody by Williams. Also, I reckon most SEGAS play ALOT better than the cookie cutter collection of the late Bally/Williams machines. I say keep an open mind to all pinball machines/manufacturers. You only have to play one game on say Starship Troopers. Viper Night Drivin, Batman Forever, Frankenstein, to name a few, to realise that these Segas, are just as good, if not better, than alot of much higher priced Bally?Williams etc.

But sometimes its hard for people to admit that after they have forked out $6 grand for a machine, only to find out that a $2500 Sega like Starship Troopers kicks its ass.

Agree with you here. Have just as much fun with my $2k Tommy than my $5k Champion Pub.

Paragon
Fathom
Nip It

Although I could easily add Spirit and Fireball depending on the mood.

If I stumble across a sited pin and never played it before I will at least have a game and if I like quite a few games.

Haven't played a huge range of games but my 5 favourites are (at the moment):
- White Water
- Creature
- Iron Man
- Tron LE
- AFM

for pinball parts (reproduction & mods)
for pinball t-shirts

CFTBL is my #1 game all because of chasing that high score. Couldn't reach the 1 billion mark this year.
As for the rest, MM is next though my strategy doesn't change that much - just fun to play.
AFM.....just like hiting those ramps. Another great game.
Next is either one of the Popaduik games TOM or TOTAN - great to play but i wouldn't buy one to own.
Last game TAF which I own - brought purely for sentimental reasons and nostalgia. As for the gameplay.....let's just say that I am in no hurry to bring it home from the in laws place.
