Quoted from bitternerd:Wait, MM is still number one??? I thought you were getting rid of "TROLLS!" votes?
Hahahahahahaahahahaha. Man, my jokes are on point....
I guess that settles all the talk of the Williams/Bally games only being on top due to old, out of date ratings. Looks like the rankings haven't changed much at all.
Quoted from mof:LOL !!! great point...
Answer: DUH/YES.
Best lights shows are:
1. 80s Bally pins with one lamp per bonus point: See Fathom, Centaur, Embryon
2. no stupid flashers
3. killer programming to do fun things with the lights when it's attract mode, bonus count, or multi-ball start...
Today's games with:
1. no/few bonus lamps
2. stupid flashers
cannot compete with games of yesteryear in the lights department.

LOL...yeah, no.

2. no stupid flashers that blind you and laugh in your face

And don't even get me started with the whole twenty inserts flashing at once horrible ui that is customary today.

Games in that era really should have their own top 100. To compare any of those to even a game like Corvette (which is mediocre) is crazy. They have great art, but pale in almost every other category to more modern games. To say some of these games are better than say BDK (which actually does sit lower in the current top 100 than at least one), is crazy. I guess it's a little subjective, but still...ask anyone who doesnt have the brain warping nostalgia for them and they'll agree. The sound/music quality and variation isn't there. The animations aren't there. The rules aren't there. The gameplay is slow. It's just a different time when a 32" CRT color tv impressed.
