Since we can now see the results of the Top Ten Most Wanted Table Polls, I'll be posting complete results and analysis for each poll. You can find the complete results for this poll below:1) Tales from the Crypt (Data East, 1993) - 268, 75.07%2-T) Monopoly (Stern, 2001) - 246, 68.91%2-T) Rollercoaster Tycoon (Stern, 2002) - 246, 68.91%4) Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends (Data East, 1993) - 201, 56.30%5) High Roller Casino (Stern, 2001) - 174, 48.74%6) NASCAR (Stern, 2005) - 163, 45.66%7) Time Machine (Data East, 1988) - 162, 45.38%8) Sharkey's Shootout (Stern, 2000) - 153, 42.86%9) Seawitch (Stern, 1979) - 139, 38.94%10) Viper Night Drivin' (Sega, 1998) - 119, 33.33%11) Checkpoint (Data East, 1991) - 109, 30.53%12) Secret Service (Data East, 1988) - 98, 27.45%13) Striker Xtreme (Stern, 2000) - 96, 26.89%14) Catacomb (Stern, 1981) - 94, 26.33%15) Laser War (Data East, 1987) - 93, 26.05%16) Nine Ball (Stern, 1980) - 56, 15.69%17) Meteor (Stern, 1979) - 55, 15.41%18) Viper (Stern, 1981) - 48, 13.45%19-T) Quicksilver (Stern, 1980) - 45, 12.61%19-T) Star Gazer (Stern, 1980) - 45, 12.61%21) Big Game (Stern, 1980) - 41, 11.48%22) Lightning (Stern, 1981) - 39, 10.92%23) Galaxy (Stern, 1980) - 33, 9.24%24) Freefall (Stern, 1981) - 32, 8.96%25) Magic (Stern, 1979) - 29, 8.12%26) Trident (Stern, 1979) - 28, 7.84%27-T) Hot Hand (Stern, 1979) - 27, 7.56%27-T) Stars (Stern, 1978) - 27, 7.56%29) Stingray (Stern, 1977) - 23, 6.44%30) Nugent (Stern, 1978) - 21, 5.88%I'll get my full analysis posted shortly, but for now, may I just note what a massacre this poll was for the Stern early solid states? Despite being 17 of the 30 tables in the poll, the only early solid states to crack the top half were Catacomb and Seawitch, with only the latter making it into the top 10. Thankfully, the news is somewhat less disappointing for the rest of the poll–High Roller Casino's strong fifth-place finish was heartening to me, as I literally played this table until it broke at PAPA 16 and knew that it was one of the less popular DMD pins out there (hence why I played it so much). Tales from the Crypt's pole-position finish should surprise nobody, but Viper Night Drivin' taking tenth counts as somewhat of an upset, although the number of people announcing their sympathy votes for it makes this quite a foreseeable turn of events; then again, given the apparent hypnotic power of the DMD on some pinheads and how weak the two DMD decks outside the top 10 were, perhaps I shouldn't be too surprised. Despite my disappointment at the utter demolishing of Stern v1.0, I look forward to taking a closer look at the results here...
