I grew up in the 2nd half of the 70's as a young teenager playing pins, and have always been attached to EMs and SS.  Sorry if I offend any of the later generation collectors, but I never could (or still can't) get into a playfield where it is a mass of ramps and stuff that obscure the ball view.  Way too much clutter for my liking.

I think the beauty of the EM and SS era is their simplicity, together with the artwork of the time (and there are some titles in there whose artwork is and will be timeless).  Bally were prolific with the titles that were coming out in the 1977-1982 period.  There are some really classics from that timeframe.
