[QUOTE="StarDust4Ever, post: 84639, member: 3033"] Maybe I'm in the minority. Black Hole was my favorite table from the Gottlieb Pinball Hall of Fame (I used to play it on Game Cube a lot). ATM I don't have a top ten list, but here is a top 5 list of some of my most played tables (I own all of them): My Top 5 List: #1 - Bride of Pinbot #2 - Black Hole #3 - Big Shot #4 - Scared Stiff (I got pro mode for the uncensored audio) #5 - Elvira and the Party monsters (I'm an Elvira fan, LOL!) Next 5 Runners up (all solid fun to play tables in no particular order): Tales of Arabian Knights Medieval Madness Attack From Mars Circus Voltar Cactus Canyon No Good Gofers (okay, I listed 11 tables so sue me) Whirlwind is also pretty cool but I haven't played it enough to get a good opinion yet. I want to love Pinbot but for some reason, Bride of Pinbot seems to have a much more compelling story, even if I spend most of the game just continually hitting the left ramp. I love the way she sings after completing the bride metamorphisis. Bride of Pinbot is also my first table to complete all Wizard goals! ;) Black Hole just feels too cool. It was my favorite from the original Gottlieb Collection. Once you open the gate for successful reentry, it's easy to just launch the ball back to the inner table whenever it drains. I also look forward to the emulation upgrade. Big Shot is a great table to cool down with because of it's uncluttered playfield and slower movement. I play it a lot in between the more advanced modern tables. Elvira Scared Stiff is just so much fun because like just about every word out of Elvira's mouth is a double-entendre, at least if you unlock pro mode. Sadly, this also means I have zero goals unlocked or entries on the leaderboards, however it is still worth playing for the uncensored speech. There's a bunch of other tables I've had have a lot of fun with; too many to list them all. Gorgar, Centaur, and Black Knight are a little bland in the audio/graphics department. Dr Dude looks like a table that's targeted at 11 and 12 year old boys. It's a good playing table, but the subject matter is lame. Star trek and Twilight Zone are great tables, but the rules are a little too complex and I find myself just hitting the balls randomly. I guess T2 will have a similarly complex rule set if it gets successfully funded. I pledged $10 anyway. #1 on my wishlist is High speed. Currently, there don't appear to be any racing themed pinballs available (Taxi doesn't really count IMO). I voted up both High Speed and Getaway on the recent Williams poll. I would also like to see more EM tables in general. I know some people don't like 'em, and that's okay, but they make up for their simple rule sets with challenging gameplay and extra balls (5 balls instead of 3 by default). They also make great "cool down" tables after playing the more flashy modern ones. [/QUOTE]
