I have to say this poll has been pretty refreshing. I was thinking the majority of pinsiders were Stern fanboys who thought B/W games were tired old boxes of boring. I like games from all makers, but generally feel B/W had the better total package of theme, art, design, quality and gameplay. That's not to say games like SM and LOTR don't crush games like Gilligans Island or Popeye.

The merger was a little earlier, around the development of Truck Stop and Elvira and the Party Monsters. Technically all the games going forward are Williams, but half the games produced bare the Bally logo. Every DMD from the company is B/W.
