Cañon City, CO
This is currently my favorite title in my lineup to play. The layout and required shots are well designed. I like everything about the art except the half naked guys. The lighting is not great. There is a large black space in the center and it gets quite a glare from the backglass. I kept #47 bulbs in the head and put leds on the playfield. I did a spotlight in the lane hole where it looks like there was going to be a gate, but it didn't get one. I've only had it for a couple of months, but it is quite fun to play. Love the bell!!

Stellar Wars Williams, 1979
I believe this game is severely under rated. The objectives are spread thoughout the playfield and there are drops galore and two spinners. Add Lane Change and Multiball to this game and the world would be able to ignore the subpar art package.

Flip Flop Bally, 1976
I like games with interesting bottoms. I fell in love with Old Chicago. I tried this one because it had an interesting bottom and I thought the flip flop targets would be interesting. It turns out the bottom didn't add much to anything and the only real thing to shoot at is the flip flop targets. The backglass has great color and art, but I think a lot of people could be offended by the Native American on the glass. I hate, and I mean hate the horse shoes on the cabinet. Probably the worst cabinet I've ever owned. The game plays okay, but after I put a lot of work into restoring one, 10 games told me that this wasn't a keeper.

Black Knight Williams, 1980
This game just left my collection, but it was a cost move, not a likeability move. There is a ton to like about this game, just time for something different for me.

Great design and music. Easy to service with flip out upper playfield.

Silver Slugger Gottlieb, 1990
This game suffers from some poor art choices with robot players and some rule issues leading to unrealistic runs scored totals etc.

King Pin Williams, 1962
For home use, this game suffers because all scoring leads to a free game, not points or extra balls.

Space Invaders Bally, 1980
If I could only keep one of my games, this would probably be it. Great artwork, great set up and playfield. I love the widebody feel. It makes it seem like a much more solid game. I never get tired of looking at this machine.

High Speed Williams, 1986
Great Ritchie game. I find it hard to hit the ramp regularly even after 200 plays. High scores are still very satisfying. I love the theme and the design.

Roller Coaster Gottlieb, 1971
This was my first game to own. I fell in love with the early habitrails and the spinner in the center. It makes every game unique and adds a lot to multiplayer games. Great game.

World Series Gottlieb, 1972
This game is easily the best baseball themed machine I have played. I love 70s EM machines. I love the double scoring of the runs and points. The World series is much better to own in my opinion than the grand slam due to the add-a-ball feature. You always have something to shoot for.

Firepower Williams, 1980
Update: 5 years later -- My game plays fast. The shots are not boring. I love the multiball and the clear objectives. Multiball could use some scoring benefit. I put some mild LEDs in my machine. Not too bright, but enough to bring out some more color. Excellent design from a master.
I am going to put drop targets in mine to see how it feels. I miss not having something to really hit after playing so much Black Knight. Great game, but dropping on my favorites and ratings. Right now I have Space Shuttle and Stellar Wars higher than Firepower.

Sharp Shooter II Game Plan, 1983
This machine is a blast to play. I haven't played the original, but I love the feel of this game. The ball rolls well and the double pop bumpers at the bottom of the playfield are unique and challenging. There are tricky shots all over the playfield and enough speed and action to keep me coming back again and again. I have owned this now for about 2 months and has become one of my favorite machines. It is right there in the crossover between EM and SS and has the advantages of both. The sounds are not excellent but are much better than some bloops and bleeps on other games. The playfield layout is my favorite feature. I like this artwork better than the original, but I know that is very subjective. If you find one, play it or buy it. Great game.
