Top 10 games in your collection - do you have them ?

[Brettski]

Here are the top 10 machines on my list, I love EM's but don't currently own one. I was playing pinnies during the cross over to SS and remember them appearing in the parlours and find them similar to EM playfields and rule sets but reliable once I put Pascal boards in them. I have run out of room so it looks like I will need to swap out from here if I find a machine I want more than the ones I have.


Close encounters
Countdown
Jetspin
Spirit of 76
Strikes & Spares - Currently Own
Charlies Angels - Currently Own
Golden Arrow
Centigrade 37
Sinbad - Currently Own
Cleopatra - Currently Own

Cheers: Brettski... :)

I don't own any of these so it is just a 'maybe, one day' list for me.

Firepower - rewrote the rules of pinball play. Multiball, the outlane kicker and moving F-I-R-E with the flipper button, all in one game
ProFootball - even at 10c a game at the local arcade, I probably spent enough to buy a house
Kiss - the best balance of features I think I have ever seen, drop targets, bounce targets, the K-I-S-S matrix in the middle
Close Encounters - The first time I saw a roto target
Spiderman (1980) - How did they fit so much variety in one playfield
Target Alpha / Solar City- the drop target lovers dream machine
Meteor - The drop targets reset, then they dropped down again, magic
Hercules - The sheer novelty of playing something that big
Black Knight - If only I was coordinated enough to use the second set of flipper buttons for the magnetic capture thingy
Anything by Ed Krynski - so much imagination

Great thread

Took me 10-15 years to track down Fathom -Then I found 4 !
Mermaid will be VERY expensive.
Fireball took me 15 years - VERY hard to source now.
Atlantis - I'd love one as well. Almost had 2 our of a spotter in Europe for peanuts !

Embryon
Space invaders
Cirqus voltare
Centaur
Medusa
Monsterbash
Paragon

Got 4 of these, the top 4 listed

Btw if it wasn't for the forum, I reckon I would have stuck with only one game and not have had the guts to purchase more. The forum has enabled me to do most if not all my own fix its. Too costly otherwise. Thanks giys

Tron would be a recent addition to the "want" list of many pinheads !

[Crashramp]

Yep, I kind of wondered what all the fuss was about with that game but after playing Cursed’s Tron it really clicked with me. Awesome game.

[Crashramp]

I played this at Netherworld a couple of weeks ago too. Fantastic game now also on my want list.
