I just picked one of these up and it's honestly the best shooting game i've ever played.
The theme, art & everything else is also top notch.

TRON: Legacy (Pro) Stern, 2011
This is a bloody great game. Fast, great sound. upper ramp very satisfying to make. excellent tournament machine, good earner on site. i would recommend this game.

Lord of the Rings Stern, 2003
This is the game i've racked up the most hours on. Destroying the ring was and still is a blast. Very progressive. Not good for comp play but a fantastic machine for the home and family. Theme is also second to none.

Johnny Mnemonic Williams, 1995
This game has a very quick, flowing layout. Gameplay slows down when the hand magnet grabs your ball and when you are in video mode - i'm not a fan of video modes and this one is no exception. Overall this is a decent game. grab one if its at a fair price!

Hook Data East, 1992
Cool theme. The ramp is pretty sweet but apart from that there aren't too many memorable shots. A good pinball machine for non-pinheads to get into!

Doctor Who Bally, 1992
To me, this game has the best upper flipper ramp shot in pinball. It is very satisfying to stick that shot repeatedly.
New players love seeing the multiball in action - you gotta admit, it's pretty impressive! Great rules for the time, with a variety of strategies available. Great in a small or large lineup and a great earner on location.

Space Jam Sega, 1996
I have both this and Stern NBA, and for some reason this just shoots and feels more fun. Space Jam was one of my favourite films growing up so it has a great nostalgic quality to it for me. the basketball magnet shot is pretty neat and will impress guests.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Data East, 1991
TMNT is a ripper theme. If you're an advanced player you will probably won't like this one as the rules are pretty basic and the shots get old pretty quick. This is a game new players will come to just for the theme, which is comparable to games like street fighter and mario bro's. If you're a big TMNT fan and you find one at a reasonable cost, this is the ultimate collecters piece (alongside the 4 player stand up cab)

Locomotion Zaccaria, 1981
I love Zaccaria's. Ripper art, especially on the backglass (which is super heavy glass btw) - the theme is pretty random but its still a fun challenging game with fun shots. i have this one on location in a whisky bar and its the highest earner out of sinbad, phoenix & hulk!

Elvira and the Party Monsters Bally, 1989
Cool theme, great art, challenging shots and no ball save. This game can get a little old after owning for a while but its a really cool comp game & does well on site

Sinbad Gottlieb, 1978
Really fun and challenging game. The artwork from this looks fantastic in my opinion. I love these types of machines for comp play!

Centaur II Bally, 1983
Whats not to like. It's half man, half motorbike. This game is tough and fast - we have it down at our League. Yes the cabinet shape kind of sucks, but thats about it.

Super Mario Bros. Gottlieb, 1992
One of the first games i ever owned. it's a pretty unbeatable theme. good earner on site. not a good comp game & not good for an experienced player - pretty poor rules. overall a pretty fun game and will be sure to hook new players on pinball!

Pirates of the Caribbean Stern, 2006
I really enjoy this game. It is simple enough for a fresh player to understand but deep enough for a more experienced player. if set up steep with a tight tilt this game is a real challenge. Great game to try and stack tortuga and destroy the ship (forget its actual name) multiball with. the kraken and ship are awesome toys. if you can find one at a good price this is a quality stern from around this time - i like it more than LOTR & TSPP

Phoenix Williams, 1978
This game is a bit of a filler game in a collection imo. you would get bored of it if it was your only game in your collection. good for tournament play. cool backglass. not much to shoot for though

The Simpsons Pinball Party Stern, 2003
this is a tough game but its loaded with shots, a great theme and deep rules. upper playfield isnt clunky like in a lot of other games with them. a good game to own if you want to become good at pinball.

Indiana Jones Stern, 2008
I bought this game to put on site. It wasn't well received in our leagues as the rules are pretty bad. i think this game still has a space in a larger collection or on site though. on site is a very strong earner. i'd often see people play it just to get the multiball and show their mates. i really don't like the fact that there are 2 scoops so close together. this is just weird. in all honesty if the left scoop was a big ramp instead this game would be WAY better. overall this is a reliable high earning game and i'd recommend anyone give it a play to check out the crazy 8 ball multiball. buy one if you're an operater.

Shrek Stern, 2008
My favourite thing about shrek is that it plays All star by Smash Mouth everytime you start a game (although about 30 seconds in it changes to a more instrumental version of the song which is weird but whatever). the shots are fun and unique. mini playfield is an important feature as its the only way to progress into the donkey multiball or whatever its called - this is bloody hard to complete as each time you time out it gets tougher to make your way back up there to complete it. although a childish theme it still has appeal to those under 30 as SHREK 1 is old enough to be nostalgic to us

Game Of Thrones (Pro) Stern, 2015
I have a collection of 34 games at the moment and right now this is my favourite. this is a strong theme and a strong player - great earner on location and very reliable, haven't had any issues yet. deep rules, nearly every shot to me is satisfying. if you like flow, this has LOTS of it. everyone should have a GOT pro in their collection.

The X Files Sega, 1997
First off, i'm a huge X Files fan. I don't think this game would be good in a very small collection but i think it's fantastic in a larger one. mine plays fast and hard, ball times are pretty short. pretty sweet toys in it. my biggest annoyance with this game is that there is a literal filing cabinet as the main bash toy - could have been something cooler like a UFO.

Batman (The Dark Knight) Stern, 2008
I haven't seen a heap of versions of this game but mine is pretty dark & hard to see all the shots. I think adding pinstadiums to this would be a great addition. straight off the bat this game reminds me of LOTR with the PATD on the other side and the same tower shot in the back right - the multiballs also play out similar. really good game but i would probably like it more if i didnt already have a LOTR.

The Avengers (Pro) Stern, 2012
This game gets a pretty bad wrap, and i don't agree. i've owned this since 2015 and was one of my first machines. it is challenging & has some decent rules. the shots are tough, especially the black widow ramp, but when you nail it is rather satisfying. it is a great earner onsite (the theme is top notch) and overall i think its a game worth having in your collection

Avatar (Pro) Stern, 2010
I recently picked this game up. I personally find it pretty hard, which i think is good - keeps me coming back for more. wish there was another ramp, 1 is never enough for me. decent game overall, i think it will be a good addition to our league.
