What do you guys think would be the most Underrated Pinballs...Perhaps Shadow and Congo for me..

Flintstones

Might seem a little od, but IMO Funhouse is under-rated. It gets a lot of love, but not as much as it deserves. Gameplay is one of the best around with a fascinating collection of shots, an incredible playfield toy, and wonderful artwork/theme.

Gee I don't know about Judge Dread Mark. It's pretty bad all round.

Please don't take this the wrong way but JD is Mark's opinion so why question a valid response to the post?  I reckon he would be in a pretty good position to comment on a topic like this.

For me - Sega Frankenstein is very underrated.

Agree, Funhouse is a great game but I dont think that people underate it. I get many requests for Funhouse.

Police force.....fun
Striker extreme

Fish Tales should be a 9/10. Own a good one of these, then sell it, then know how it feels not to have it.
Its the only machine I have bought a second time.

I agree with Bobby Orr, that has a classic table lay-out. The theme is lost on us Aussies though.

For me - the BEST playing games I've ever had were under rated being:

Data East - Last Action Hero

WMS - Police Force

[Caveoftreasures]

I was told not to buy most of the 20 something pins i have..i was told that data east n sega are no good, but i dont listen to the mainstream norm so i have bought all the ones i was told not to.

i reckon the ones below are very under-rated
fishtales- very fun n unique
last action hero - a great game
viper night drive - unique n fun
starship troopers- unique n fun
frankenstein - alot of fun -very under-rated
star trek 25th anniversary- alot of fun
AND last but not least, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, i was told i was crazy if i bought that machine, so i did, and i reckon it is a real blast.
When someone says, this or that machine is no good, the only way to truly tell is to go and play it 20 times.....by the time u finish, you will probably love it and be glad someone said to stay away....AND ALL THE UNDER-RATED PINS ARE VERY CHEAP, SO U CANT LOSE CAN YA !!

LONG LIVE THE UNDER-RATED PINS - IT HAS KEPT THIS HOBBY AFFORDABLE.....

I think it has it's good points (art and sound)

But what gets me about this game is 10 years ago, heaps of perfectly good specimens were being parted out because it was considered a dud, and you could sell the boards for more than you'd get for the whole machine.

Now for some reason the game has this cult classic status attached to it. 

On another note, besides the dodgy art, Demo Man is an excellent game.

Absolutely - FT is an awesome game, and due to the fact that it is still a viable and cheap "family" pinball, many people buy the game and start their collection..

Power Play is a great SS machine. Might have to get one soon !

[pinnies4me]

WMS - Police Force

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