For SS I too vote for Firepower . It is fast, unforgiving and forever challenging to play .
Low scores and blindingly fast games are quite normal which keeps you wanting to come back and try to beat it .
Good to see there is some love for Black Hole as I recently bought a project one (currently in pieces), and looking forward to getting it up and running .
I don't have a particular EM to recommend but strongly suggest getting a single player game because any bonus etc carries over from ball to ball which , to me, makes the game more enjoyable .
Also, I've found many Williams single player EM's are just as good as Gottlieb's and are usually much cheaper .
One example is Gulfstream .
Absolutely.. a Williams EM will set you back a bit less $$ wise than a Gottlieb.. but they play way faster.. no good if you want drop targets though - you have to go back to a WMS 60's machine to get this feature. Bally EM games are often hidden treasures.. again cheaper still but often great games... CAPERSVILLE i found a complete suprise... zipper flippers and multi ball.. what a cracking game this is and the ALADDINS CASTLE i recently cleaned up for a customer i didnt want to let go.. great looker and really fun to play with some awesome combo shots ( i miss that spinner!!!)... Gottliebs play a bit slower but they do have some awesome drop target games.. its what 70's GTB games are famous for!
Not too far back mate - Williams "Big Deal" has two banks of drop targets. I used to have one and it was a bloody quick game.
