[QUOTE="karl, post: 221767, member: 465"] If we are talking about TPA tables, these are my top 5 (Nothing shocking here, except maybe White Water ) In no particular order: (Btw: I am basing my view on how they play in real life, not in the app) Monster Bash - Very easy to understand rules. Fun as hell. Only minus is that it can become a bit shallow if you own it, I would imagine. Probably the least deep rule set of a modern classic pin, but every time I find this pin in the wild I enjoy myself tremendously Attack From Mars - Maybe the coolest original theme out there. Wide open fan layout. I owned it for a while. Maybe the best pin out there to practice your skills on Twilight Zone - Not everyone gets it. Lots of stuff on it with a rule-set to follow with not much free space and can be a bit stop and go. If you enjoy the theme, find one in a working order that is set up right. It can take you to another dimension, a dimension called the twilight zone (sic) Medieval Madness - Great fun. Hitting the castle gate is what it is, the best bash toy ever in pinball. Also, probably the greatest actor script on any machine. You have to really, really hate medieval themes to not enjoy this one White Water - Maybe I am bias regarding this title since it was the first one I ever bought. Ramp bonanza. (having a ramp were the ball actually hits the glass is pretty awesome) Captures the theme really well. Fast and furious, bright and colorful and a boatload of fun. Here are the 5 most over-rated tables in my view: Cactus Canyon - way over-ratted. Nothing special at all, with pretty boring rules. An average pin that is sought after because it is rare only. But pretty cool theme, at least Safe Cracker - Not much of a pin at all with shallow rules. Sought after because it looks cool and not many built. Still a cool machine to show off but more of a novelty machine than a classic pin No good Gofers - This one is on me. I can see how other people could love it. Some pins is just not for everyone Star Trek TNG - I Like it in the app but not in real life. Steve R vs widebody= Fail. This pin would have been a top 5 if it were a narrow body. Great rules and design. It is just to wide for it's own good TOTAN: Looks really good but good looks isn't everything ;) [/QUOTE]
