Nashville, TN
Super underrated game. Can be setup to be a ball buster. Capcom games are built like tanks. This can still be purchased for $2k or less, so in my opinion it is the best bang for buck pin out there.

Ice Cold Beer ICE, 2003
This Ice Cold Beer version has 12 holes instead of the Taito version 10 hole. Everything else is the same.

Old school pitch n bat in a new shell. Plays great, lighting is fatanastic, art package is vintage and cool. It is a crowd favorite in the gameroom.

Led Zeppelin (Pro) Stern, 2020
I had very low expectations for this one, but it is a great shooter. Super fun shots and the ramps are really smooth and rewarding. Looking forward to playing the premium.

Guns N' Roses (LE) Jersey Jack, 2020
I gave all the cosmetics of this game great ratings. It is absolutely beautiful and the music is amazing as I am giant GNR fan. Call outs by the girl are terrible. Gameplay: I walked away feeling very underwhelmed after about 20 games. You basically stay in some sort of multiball it felt like and it played a little clunky. None of the shots felt really rewarding and the upper playfield is kind of lame. At this price point I will probably never own one, but down the road if prices settle in and dip I might grab one.

Monster Bash (Classic Edition) Chicago Gaming Co., 2018
great bang for buck on the classic. $6k for one of the best ever.
had this one in the gameroom for about week and I updated my ratings. The playfield is absolutely gorgeous. CGC did a fantastic job on this remake. Plays super smooth.

Catacomb Stern Electronics, 1981
Amazing art package, game plays insanely fast and has some amazing code for this era. Bagatelle is a cool gimmicky feature. Not many of these around and glad I get to add one to the collection.

Big Game Stern Electronics, 1980
This classic Stern does not disappoint. Plays crazy fast for a widebody and the rules are super fun. I was not a hug fan of the 4 lower flippers but they fit this one perfect. Artwork and sounds are average but game play and rules make up the difference to this classic a huge thumbs up. Some of the best spinner rips in pinball. My favorite classic stern.

Jurassic Park (Premium) Stern, 2019
Could not stop playing this machine. One of Sterns best for sure and i will be picking one up asap on the secondary market when they start popping up. Tons of fantastic shots and code is already really good.
Update: ended up grabbing a NIB premium which I said I would not do again but it is really that good. It is Sterns best game ever and a for sure top 3 game of all time.
update: new code installed .97. Amazing! not even at 1.0 and it is a masterpiece.
update: year of ownership. If I could only keep 1 game this would be it.

Strange Science Bally, 1986
When setup correctly with strong flippers this game is super fun. Rebuilt the flippers, added titan silicone rubbers, added carrot flippers on the 2 lower flips, and added LEDs. Total game changer and probably biggest bang for buck pin out there. So many cool things going on and comes with one of the coolest toppers ever.

High Speed Williams, 1986
3 spinners, what else do you need? Just a cool game with cool sounds. Fantastic light show and since putting more time on it I like it better than getaway. This pin should be ranked way higher than it is.

Transporter the Rescue Bally, 1989
Rare and fun system 11 with crazy art package. Couple really cool ramp shots and a whirlpool. Ball lock and multiball is very cool on this one.
update: this game is super fun. Lose the bottom 2 carrot flippers and add regular size and remove the post or add lightning flippers and keep post or combination of....

Hot Line Williams, 1966
super fun EM, cool dot matrix on lower playfield that spells hot line and the gate that opens and closes to put ball back into shooter lane is super cool. Easy rules to understand but very difficult to achieve especially on 3 ball.

Pirates of the Caribbean Stern, 2006
Picked one up at a fantastic price and I am pleasantly surprised. Super fun pin with TONS of toys and shots. Stern really packed this thing out and is way more fun that some other Sterns ranked higher on the list.

Dodge City Gottlieb, 1965
One of the best EMs ever made. I am partial to Flip Flop but this is #2 in my book. The backglass is amazing with the little dancing cowboy. Very very rare and hard to find.

The Machine: Bride of Pinbot Williams, 1991
OK, this game left the house faster than any other game I have ever owned. I think it lasted about 2 weeks once I got it shopped and put back together.

The Walking Dead (Premium) Stern, 2014
Picked up a loaded premium with Cleland sounds and this game is awesome. I never was a big fan just playing it from time to time at shows but this one is great in a home environment. Tons of shots and with the last code polish it is fantastic.
Update: I really miss this one. I will try to add one back soon

Dialed In Jersey Jack, 2017
This might be the best pin ever created. I know the theme kills it for some, but please put your guard down and put some time on this. It is pure genius. Loaded with shots, has awesome magnet action, code is already very good, and the game is just beautiful.
Update: I have now owned this for a few months now. I would put it in the 3 with AFM and MM. It's as good as it gets in pinball.
Update: still loving it and thinking of getting rid of most of my collection because they are not getting played much.
Update: not getting old, but still getting better. This is my favorite pin of all time.
1-18-20: Still my favorite shooter. Will be adding one back to the collection one day soon.

Ghostbusters (Premium) Stern, 2016
Well worth the wait. The subway shot is one of my favorite in all of pinball. Light show and art are very good on this game. One of my favorite Sterns.
Update: New code made this game much better. My only complaint is the blinding light during MB. I am going to change the flasher dome from clear to purple or something to tone down the light.
Update: made more changes that really enhanced the game for me. Flipped sling rubbers and lowered right ramp support. Still a brutal game but made it way more fun. Getting true magna sling action now and can make the right ramp 8 out of 10 time. This game will make you a better pinball player. You are forced to make your shots count. Still one of Sterns best behind ACDC and LOTR and MET.

Metallica (Pro) Stern, 2013
I will start by saying I am not a Metallica fan at all and that's why I was hesitant about buying this machine. I was wrong in doing so, because this is a top 10 pin for sure. Fast and fun, tons of shots, great rule set and art is very good.

Mousin' Around! Bally, 1989
Picked this gem up in a old warehouse find and had never played it before. It was a great find for sure. Everybody loves this pin including my wife. Good luck finding one for the Pinside estimated price of $1200 or so. They seem to be VERY rare and not many people let them go.

Bram Stoker's Dracula Williams, 1993
This is the most frustrating pin I have ever played. No way I could ever own this title. My buddy got one and sold it in 3 weeks. They usually have lots of opto issues, so if you buy one make sure they all work.

The Shadow Bally, 1994
One of the best all around 90's pins. Best bang for your buck in pinball or at least it used to be, prices going up. Still my favorite, had to buy another. This pin has it all, solid code, lots of cool toys and shots.
