Which one of the three do you think is the best and the one you would most like to have available on TPA?

All tables were designed by Barry Oursler and published by Williams Electronics.

I gotta go with Cyclone. I have played all 3 at pinball conventions and Cyclone is the one that stood out the most for me. Comet was nice, but I want replay value and that table just wouldn't offer enough for me. I couldn't stand playing Hurricane with the ramp going over the flippers and the rather gimmicky playfield toys.

Cyclone seems to be the runaway favorite... I voted for it also.. just a great classic table IMO...

I want to hear from the guy who choose Hurricane!

I voted for Hurricane, i love that table along with cyclone. The Clowntime on Huricane makes me laugh everytime i play it. I just hope all 3 of them come out on The Pinball Arcade, and call it the cony island collection. I know they don't do 3 games but in this case i think they should just for these.

It's rare when a non-DMD takes down a DMD, but this is one of those cases. BTW, only the Cyclone is at Coney Island. There are/were Comets at Crystal Beach (moved to Great Escape) and Hershey Pennsylvania. I have no idea where Hurricane is/was.

I'm surprised Comet got any votes at all - it's extraordinarily inferior to the other two. Must be personal nostalgia.

Lol glad to see the love for cyclone! I started a seperate thread before another poster linked me here.. Loved cyclone and it has huge replay value... Hope to see it brought it over! I would gladly pay for it seperatly, as in not packaged with other tables....

If they pick only one, I would like to see Cyclone. I remember liking Comet quite a bit, but it has been awhile since I played. I still need to play Hurricane, but it looks like the most cluttered of the three games.

I guess I'm one of the lone Comet fans. Though I like "You with the face," I like "Hey, turkey -- hit me!" more. IMO Comet has better action and better flow. I could play it all day.

I posted the following in another thread but it is my answer to this poll.

Comet will always be one of my favorites. There was a convenience store that I used to go by everyday that had Comet and I would play it almost every day. The guy that owned the store was an old German guy and he would say in his German accent "I'll never get rid of that game as long as you come in and play it every day!" And he didn't! But eventually I moved away. With my car filled to the brim with my stuff I stopped by the store on my way out of town and played one more game. I told the old man that I was moving out of state. He said "I'll call the game guy up and have him take that old machine out tomorrow." and then he flashed a cheesy grin at me as I left.
