Probably the most under-rated (because it gets so little love at all) is Capcom's Flipper Football. It's not "normal" pinball (no outlanes, and no points scoring just goals for and against you) but because it is so lowly rated, it might be the biggest gap between rating and actual. It's a very fun game - in adult mode after a few beers with a bunch of guys - it's actually one of the best "party pins" around for the boys! Add to that the excellent Capcom quality. And the big supply of local parts hey Mark!

Well for me that's easy Tony. King Pin is probably as good as any EM, but it doesnt get the respect it deserves.

I think with EM's, there's just not enough of any given title left. So if underrated means that it's a great game, but doesn't get discussed much. I'd put that down to numbers.

WMS - Police Force

Nug (and I think Matt KTM450) might agree with you on that one.

Yes I think police force has one of the best backglasses ever made, some cool features with the stealing top score etc. Good fun
Unfortunately I am not a big fan of the JD either, big and clunky, no real flow, but it does have great sound.
Same for me with FT but each to thier own.
I think after playing Pinball Magic at Marks meet this is a underated pin even though it was missing a drop target I got a good feel for the game and really enjoyed it.
Whitewater used to be a very underated pinm, but is getting a lot more attention now, and is a fantastic game

tales of the crypt would have to be the most underated of them all.
cheap to buy...6 ball multiball...lots of excellent video on the dotmatrix...excellent audio...great playfield lights n great artwork....
still a real bargain for $1800 to $2500.  ^^^

That is...as well as every Norm Clark (R.I.P. dude) design.

Also most Wayne Neyens pins - was interesting to watch some of the guys at my recent meet play these old girls after playing DMD and SS I could see them walk away and think 'gee these games just blow' - (Wotto and Rollerball no names mentioned  :lol :lol)

It's about the way these old dogs play - they are really tough to beat.

Hey Paul - put my name on those trophies - put my name on all of them  :lol

No drinking mineral water at your next meet - time to drink some beer and get some scores a happening  *%*

What do you say Wotto?
