We all have our favourite pinball machines, but what about your favourite Year of Release? !@# Was there a year in which pinball produced the highest percentage of your favourite machines, or perhaps just a year that you enjoyed the releases the most or have pinball memories that will stay with you forever?
My favourite Year of Release is 1993 - TZ, WH20, ST:TNG, JD, IJ, BSD, LAH. It was also the year that I was an exchange student and have fond memories of playing Rocky & Bullwinkle & The Getaway at the local take-away shops.

For me definitely 1978 - all those classic SS machines, challenging enough to play without too many bells & whistles

I'll go with 1979 ;
KISS
Paragon
Genie
Flash
Meteor

Yeah it was a toss up for me between 78 & 79 - Flash still rocks my world :)

I'm going with 2007 - and it wasn't Stern, it was the only other manufacturer on the planet...

Hmmm, tough one - I would like to say 1981 but I will have to think about it.
-
Difficult to nut it down to just one - would say 79-80

Big Top
Gigi
Ship-Mates
World Fair

Mighty hard to pin one year on production of early ninety Bally/Williams pin's.
So many great titles came out in the early ninety's. Gonna have to go with the year my favorite pin was made which is CFTBL in 93. Also was lucky to meet the games designer John Trudeau at last years U.K. Pin Show (what a great guy).

Yeah 1993 was right in the middle of an exciting period of pins, designers had larger budgets to give us more exciting pins, full of great layouts and lots of toys. Some of the best games ever produced were made in 1993

1992
