Jurassic Park (Premium) Stern, 2019
I know, I know, "play better", but it's very clunky. Still waiting for it to click for me. My least fav Elwin so far.

Batman 66 (Premium) Stern, 2016
Possibly my all-time fav. Fantastic code, killer artwork. It's very forgiving for a terrible player like me which helps. Patiently waiting for the next Kapow release...

Rush (Premium) Stern, 2022
Possibly the most boomer machine ever. Boomer music, boomer (and a bit lackluster) callouts). I couldn't care less about the band, but it is a neat pin with good flow and a lot of variation. All in all a very good effort by Stern. Just wish it was a better band... Like Ramones.

Dialed In Jersey Jack, 2017
Tried hard to like this one. Good shooter despite the wobbly JJP flippers and I could even get past the incoherent theme, but some of the callouts and modes are so cringey, I had to sell it. Still, one of the better JJP machines.

Godzilla (Pro) Stern, 2021
Probably the best Pro ever. So much flow. Great layout, incredible code, just an all-around winner.

Stranger Things (Premium) Stern, 2019
Took me a while to get into it, but after a year of ownership I can say it's just outstanding. Challenging, great toys, just a lot of fun. Swapped the lackluster translite for a season 3 one which looks lightyears better.
Probably never gonna make it to Final Showdown, doubt i'll ever part with it.

Black Knight Sword of Rage (Premium) Stern, 2019
Not an easy pin. You get punished for missing your shots. Very good callouts, some of the best in pinball. Overall a pleasant surprise, still a very much underrated machine. Just needs more code polish, let's hope Stern realises that one day.

Iron Maiden: Legacy of the Beast (Pro) Stern, 2018
Such a fun shooter with a terrific layout. Only downgrade is the theme as i couldn't care less about Iron Maiden. If only they did this table for The Ramones... Animations are very poor, think PS1 level. Callouts are nothing to write home about either. Also think, this was Zombie Yeti's poorest effort... The art on EHOH for example is lightyears ahead.
The gameplay and code all makes up for it though, fantastic machine.

The Big Lebowski Dutch Pinball, 2016
Splendid theme integration, satisfying shots, just an all around spectacular machine. If only Stern were able to get so many assets for their movie pins... Code is still early, yet there is plenty to do and see. Only con: Animations could be better. Along with EHOH, i think this is the pin that's never gonna leave.

Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory (CE) Jersey Jack, 2019
Had massive expectations and it just couldn't quite live up to it, which might be on me. Good machine, good animations, deep code - very hard to get to Pure Imagination. A good game, no doubt, but not in the 'great' catgegory for me. Expected more gimmicks with this theme and it being a JJP pin. Probably not gonna get it again.

NBA Fastbreak Bally, 1997
I don't understand how this machine is not in the Top 50. A lot of shots, unique gameplay, just incredibly fun and addictive. Strong 90ies vibes. Love the callouts. Only downside is the meh art and the uninspired cabinet. Wish there were nice specific team mods, so i could add some 76ers bling.

Avengers: Infinity Quest (Premium) Stern, 2020
Played it at my distributor a few times. Didn't do much for me, not really sure what the hype is all about. EHOH is far and away the better game.

Elvira's House of Horrors (Premium Edition) Stern, 2019
The GOAT. All hail Lyman.

Ghostbusters (Premium) Stern, 2016
Decent machine, interesting layout. Enjoyed it, just not a keeper for me. Absolutely hated Mass Hysteria multiball. Wish they had more original callouts. All in all still one of the best efforts from Stern in recent years.

Cirqus Voltaire Bally, 1997
A Popadiuk masterpiece. Theme integration is brilliant, altough i do wish they had some circus animal toy somewhere (menagerie for example). It cost me an arm and a leg to buy my CV and as i'm a massive admirer of circus&side show history, it's not gonna leave. But it definetely is too easy. Beat the wizard mode within a few hours of owning.

Scared Stiff Bally, 1996
Great, great machine that stands the test of time. Nice callouts, stunning artwork. Just wish someone would write some additional code. Went to wizard mode on the first day of owning it despite being a god-awful player.

Revenge From Mars Bally, 1999
I love everything about this machine. Great 90ies fun in every aspect. Maybe not the deepest rules, but it doesn't get old for me. Great piece of history too.

Rob Zombie's Spookshow International Spooky Pinball, 2016
This machine is all over the place. A dream theme for me. My biggest issue is the DMD and the toys. The DMD looks straight out of an early 90ies video game. Terrible. The toys are even worse. They look pathetic. So cheap. Day/Night difference to the quality Medisinyl provides with their mods. Also a shame Spooky and Fawzma don't care about the game and don't provide the final code the machines deserves.
Other than that, a fun machine. I grossly overpaid for it at roughly 7k, but not many have made it over to europe and i will keep it. Translite is great, the callouts are fantastic and probably the best in pinball. Shots are fun, it's fast and nasty. Just could have been much better.

The Pinball Circus Bally, 1994
What an absolute joke this machine is hovering in the 200s here. Wanted to have one ever since i discovered it in Vegas. Fantastic artwork, tons of fun to play. Here's hoping Circus Maximus will get it done some day.

SlugFest Williams, 1991
Everything about it screams 90ies. Fantastic machine. Head to head play is incredible, the base stealing option adds loads of fun and i love that there's a "Boo" button. I enjoy pitch and bats in general and this one is a keeper.

Austin Powers Stern, 2001
Not terrible, but certainly below average and a wasted opportunity by Stern. I love Austin Powers, but this machine feels cheap and clunky.

Theatre of Magic Bally, 1995
An all time classic. Even for terrible players like me. Mine is never gonna leave.

South Park Sega, 1999
A massively wasted opportunity. I absolutely love South Park and pretty much everything Matt Stone&Trey Parker have done. Sadly this is a terrible machine. There are limitless opportunities with this great theme as the incredible machine from Zen Pinball on Playstation shows. Really wish some one would do this theme properly, would be an instant buy.

Houdini American Pinball, 2017
Probably the best artwork in pinball history. Just beautiful all around. But the playfield design wasn't for me, shots are too tight and the animations are poor and look cheap. Sold it even though it was so easy on the eyes.
