So after watching all the videos I can conclude that I STILL think this is a poor selection of games. However I still voted for 10:

Games I want to see:
- Cue Ball Wizard
- Haunted House

Games I don't really want to see but would probably end up buying if a little reluctantly:
- Class of 1812 (But bare in mind the awesome moving hand in the video is an after-market modification, and Farsight always refuses to put mods into TPA, so we'd be given a plain old static hand)
- Spirit
- Operation: Thunder
- Rescue 911
- Lights...camera...action
- Bone Busters Inc.
- Surf n Safari
- Wipe Out

But I'd rather not see any of them at all. Looking forward to the Stern poll though :D

Here's how much I can't stand Gottlieb...I can't bring myself to vote.

Most of these I've never played. Those that I have, not a fan in the least. I don't wanna just vote for the ones I actually know, but I don't wanna suffer through videos either! So, to be fair to those that actually have a dog in this fight, I'm abstaining.

And if there's any justice in the world, Genesis will get precisely zero votes, as it is one of the ugliest tables I have ever seen in person. The pic was being nice, as it didn't show the back glass!

Man I actually voted for Genesis because I though it was a table based on the Band Genesis. With a good amount of band themed tables, This one looked interesting. :rolleyes: Not

Well I wouldn't criticize as I did not even vote for any tables in the EM pack. I don't care for tables pre 1980 and they have to have some form of multiball. Personal preference.

Please do not post information on how to sabatoge this poll. Any inappropriate activity resulting from such suggestions will be addressed immediately. Plain and simple, if the tables in this poll do not interest you, don't vote.

My theory:

The best Gottlieb tables in this poll are the older ones. The reason is that Gottlieb did their best in the EM days. The early SS tables, like Joker Poker, are very EM-like.

As others have mentioned, several of the tables had both EM and SS versions.

I could not have said it better myself. Agree times 10. If there had been 10 tables in this poll from 77-79 they would all have got my vote. Gottlieb was on top of the world then. It all went downhill after the GM and EK duo was no more. Ok, There was a few ok machines after 1980 but nothing like the late 70' machines. (They had the em style perfected in 77-79)

Edit: GM= Gordon Morison and EK= Ed Krynski

The only "must" table on this list is Joker Poker, and it currently is just outside of the top ten, voted for by less than a third of voters.

:FACEPALM:

And, yeah, I do like other tables in the poll. I just love the fact that TPA helps preserve classic tables in virtual form.

Why are people voting for Roller Disco? It is like the antithesis of everything cool! I can't believe it is ahead of Mars God of War. Just the fact that a table is about a warmonger/death dealer like Mars should be reason enough to vote! Seriously, Mars is actually a decent table.

All my votes went to that era also.

I played it last weekend for the first time and really fell in love with it.
