Fourth was not an EM (Flash). Tied for fifth -- two pins not EMs (mostly), Mata Hari and Future Spa.All the actual EMs aside from Fireball basically brought up the rear -- Spirit of 76, Royal Flush, Centigrade 37. Though two mostly SS pinballs were even less popular (Time Warp and Joker Poker), admittedly. (Time Warp I can see why. Those flippers are weird....) This shows that a good EM can defeat mediocre SS choices (as I've said in the past, something like Spirit of 76 would've gone down better than LCA in general <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" />). But it does also show that a well liked early SS gets a better crowd than a well liked EM.One of the problems with the EM request IMHO is there really doesn't tend to be one single title that people rally around. Fireball's the closest thing but in general the request tends to be more of a "make an EM" broad deal.It would be nice to see Fireball eventually, but not before Xenon and Paragon which are the two pins in this poll people do seem to care a lot more about. I'll add that based on Facebook I think there's (unfortunately) more support for other early 80s SS pins like Eight Ball Deluxe.</blockquote>
