Some people (usually bally/wms guys) rubbish GTB 90's pins. I been told by 3 operators that GTBs were the most reliable machines. Not so many good players put out by GTB though in the 90's. Data East great pins also, same deal not so many good games. WMS/Bally just had the majority of better playing games. Buy the games you enjoy, dont buy cookie-cutters because some in my opinion are over-rated/priced duds.
That's very true. The Gottliebs were very reliable, but most operators were "burned" from unreliable sys80 machines. Most would never buy a Gottlieb again. Ops went back to Bally/Williams because of the Bally name, and the choice of good licenses.
To answer your question, Tony - you need to "get out" and play them mate ! Wotto has some ripper machines - Check out his line up.
Bally/Williams - Check out Addams Family, Scared Stiff and Circus Voltaire
Data East - Jurassic Park & Guns'n'Roses
Stern - Pass..
