Best and worst sys11

What sys11s (or other alphanumeric from other companies) are good games to add to a collection, and what games should I avoid?

Already have ;
BK2000
Earthshaker
Pinbot
Robocop (Backglass is lame but I like the game)
Funhouse (I know, not sy11)

Thanks
Pete

SYS11 games to me are the soul of pinball for me as it is my era. EM's are better though, anyway

I love my Radical and Dr Dude
selling my Space Station, but this is a very cool game with awesome sound and light show, just not my theme and need room.
Loved Riverboat Gambler as I like gambling themes, would love to play Bad cats and Mousin around.
Bugs Bunny Birthday Bash gets a lot of negativity, I didn't mind it.

Actually is there a BAD sys11 game? they are all simple and fun with some cool wank factor. Sometimes it is about the high score. DMD machines can get carried away with animations and forget the flow.
If it isn't broke, it isn't pinball.

@martyJ, always liked the look of Police force, but had read elsewhere that others did not like it. I suppose I will have to play it sometime

@oldskool, I like Space station, but have only played it ones. I had magic fingers that day as I could not loose the ball

Yeah Pete it's really a two shot game but just good flippin fun. Good for non pin heads too and being able to steal the second players score is a hoot

I've always liked the look of F-14 Tomcat and Banzai Run. Never played either though.

I had also put this question on Pinside
They also suggest Transporter the Rescue, but I have never seen one come up for sale here  in Australia (don't think I could ever like the back glass)

Police Force and Mousin Around seem to be liked
What price do these two games sell for?

They are all VERY good games. The only SYS11 I don't like is "Millionaire".

"Radical" is probably the most interesting title, along with "Transporter". I'd love a "Transporter" - cool game.

The "average" games appeal to me the most - "Big Guns" and "Fire!"

"Safe" games are "EATPM", "Whirlwind" and "Earthshaker" - When i mean "safe" - they almost appeal to everyone, and are easy to obtain.

Police Force's generally go between $1200 to $1800 at the top end.

Just watch the centre ramp, they take a beating.  Pinball Inc had re-manufactured them but don't know if still available.
