For a long time, all I heard about was how amazing The Shadow was. I finally had the chance to pick one up and I was sad when I realized this wasn’t the game for me. I like games like BSD which are fast and brutal and the shadow does have that but the rest of the game just left me feeling like something was missing.

Vengeance, while a cool concept and makes use of the ramp diverters was “eh”. For me, it was like make these four shots. Great! Now make those same four shots again and again for super vengeance.

The modes were all unique and enjoyable enough to play but I just didn’t get excited playing them like I did on some other tables. Starting the modes was quite difficult as well and most games only resulted in a mode or two being played.

The battlefield was a great feature but it always took me at least three trips up there to beat it. Sometimes, my table showed a credit dot from the battlefield ramp exit not being activated in so long. lol.

Perhaps the stand out feature was the ball lock but beyond that I didn’t find much to come back for. Maybe my expectations were too high knowing this table was designed by the same guy who designed MM. whatsever the reason, I just didn’t see Shadow as a long term table and sold it after having it for a year.

I want to like this game and I've given it many tries but I just can't seem to get into it. I'm not a golfer and I'm not a gopher so the theme really doesn't appeal to me at all. Maybe someday that will change.

Fun game to get into but it's quickly lost it's difficulty as the ball times seem to be so long.

Wanted to love it. Just couldn't.

Quickly becoming my favorite title, CFTBL makes pinball simple yet incredibly fun. I avoided this title early on because the playfield always seemed to cluttered to me. My early games ended up as drains due to the poor visibility coming off the right flipper. However, after getting a hold of the rules and getting 4X playfield during multi-ball, all is forgiven.

The theme of this title drew me in right away. One of my favorite original themes, TOM just leaves me totally satisfied each time I play it.

I just don't see it with this title. I've tried and tried but each time I give this game a solid attempt, I end up less than impressed with it. Maybe it's because it's #1. Maybe it's because of the $ amount this game commands. Aside from Tina Fey call-outs and the trolls, this game just doesn't hold my attention. I would gladly take TZ or any other title in the top 20 over this one.

Where's the flying Delorean or the clock tower or the hover boards or any other of the amazing things that could have been integrated into this potentially amazing pinball theme!? Maybe it's because I was such a big fan of BTTF as a kid but I was soooo let down by DE's rendition of this title and towards the end of my third ball, I just wanted it to end. Too bad DE can't go back in time to make this pile of poo what it really should have been.

Spent some time with the this table recently and I find it a lot of fun to play. The waterworks skill shot is crazy unique and the theme is super easy for anyone to get into. This one's definitely not a pinhead's dream but it's certainly a fun title to play around on.

Seriously, this game is better than most titles in the second half of the top 100. My opinion of course, but I always find Flintstones a blast to spend some time with. "Shoot for the machine!"

Liked this game when I first played it but soon realized that even crappy pinball players have good games and high scores on this title. Seriously, I think the theme is great and there's a lot happening on this table but I just feel like it's not as challenging as it could have been.

Deeee....de...de...de.....de...de.....de...deeeee!! That's me singing the theme to this pin which sadly gets stuck in my head a lot. I guess that's a sign of a good pin...one that gets stuck in your head and keeps you coming back :) Fish Tales always has been one of my favorites and even as largely produced as it was, the table does a great job of keeping the game challenging, adhering to its theme and maintaining a certain amount of charm that attracts pinball players of all skill levels.

I've enjoyed this game for several years in my collection and find it to be a very enjoyable title. Every single guest who comes over heads right to this game and poops their pants when T-rex eats their ball. While certainly not the deepest rule-set, the theme is perfect and goals are easy to understand yet difficult to achieve. Perhaps the only thing that could really improve this game would be the addition of another ramp.

I'll be honest; before getting into pinball, I'd pass by this title thinking it looked dated and cheap. Come to find out it was one of the later pinball machines produced and I was passing by a wonderful thing. Ramps, ramps, ramps...that's all I can say. There's plenty of items to shoot for. The moving defender is a pain in the butt-hole but easy to get around and the back-glass flipper game is easy to master but a fun change regardless. The theme is integrated nicely and I find people who are not into pinball but enjoy sports gravitate to this game. This table is excellent casual addition to a collection and great fun no matter what your pinball skill level may be.

I was on the fence for a long time regarding the ranking of this title but after spending the better part of a year with TZ, I can honestly say, "I get it". I totally get why this title deserves to be #2 or even #1. Shots galore, odd toys (the power mini-playfield, gumball machine and powerball), near perfect integration with the theme, a seemingly impossible to accomplish rule-set with multiple tasks going on at one time all crammed into a wide-body table...this game has it all. I've never gotten more pumped in anticipation for multi-ball before hearing, "Don't touch the door" x infinity! All around great table that I would one day love to add to my collection.

It baffles me that this game is beyond #100. I can't think of many games with as many well placed call-outs as Sopranos and every game is enjoyable. Toys and gimmicks received an automatic excellent score for having dancing chicks!

Love this table! While not a deep as some others, the main task of achieving all multi-balls at the same time is extremely difficult and therefore rewarding. Even starting and completing goals like 'Bats' is a challenge. This game creeps me out just looking at it and it's the only one that keeps me coming back game after game. One of my favorites for sure.
