Personal Top Tens

[JoshuaKadmon]

Okay, so I'm pretty OCD about creating lists of my favorite entertainment, but I also like seeing what other people would list as a Top 10. Regardless of manufacturer, release year, licensed or non-licensed, or mainstream popularity, which tables are your personal favorites?

01) Swords of Fury
02) Xenon
03) Haunted House
04) Catacomb
05) Bride of Pinbot
06) Theatre of Magic
07) Gorgar
08) Paragon
09) Medieval Madness
10) Arena

For the favorites that have not yet made it to TPA, we can take this as a list of personal recommendations for future add-ons, since this is the Requests area of the forum, right? Looking forward to what everybody else comes up with.

1) Highspeed II: The Getaway
2) Revenge from Mars
3) Pin*Bot
4) Twilight Zone
5) No Good Gofers
6) Whirlwind
7) Attack From Mars
8) Jack*Bot
9) Taxi
10) Terminator 2

It was pretty tough deciding on the order of these, especially with the top 3 which seemed to be interchangeable for me.

01) Star Trek TNG
02) Addams Family
03) World Cup '94
04) Attack from Mars
05) Medieval Madness
06) Theatre of Magic
07) The Shadow
08) Flintstones
09) T2
10) Star Wars

Lot of licenses up there. Great machines, though.

 

[dtown8532]

01) Centaur
02) Twilight Zone
03) Black Knight 2000
04) AC/DC
05) White Water
06) The Getaway: High Speed II
07) Lord of the Rings
08) Firepower
09) Creature From The Black Lagoon
10) Haunted House

It's hard to pick a top ten for me and most of these could get moved around at some point. Let's just say it's my top ten of the moment. I think Centaur could stay number one though. That table just has everything and was so ahead of its time.

Gameplay and deep rulesets are most important to me, with music and sounds as an important production value. I guess those 2 combined makes why the list is dominated by DMD's. 3rd important is coherent and fun themes (ok TZ and RBioN arent very coherent, but the gameplay and ruleset make up for that), which explains TAF STTNG TOTAN and MM in the top 5. I don't care much for how the table or backglass look, as long as they communicate goals well.

1)Addams Family
2)Twilight Zone
3)STTNG
4)Tales of the Arabian Nights
5)Medieval Madness
6)Ripleys
7)Monster Bash
8)Getaway
9)Taxi
10)World Cup 94
