Ok, this might read like a troll-y/flamebait topic, but I assure you that isn't my intention.
When you talk to pinball fans and ask them obvious questions like "Which are the best/your fave etc"
You pretty much get the same say 20-30 names mentioned. I don't need to list them, you know the ones I mean. Pinside and many other "Top 100's" can attest to these choices.
Sooooo... here's my topic of discussion.
Are the usual suspects in people's top 10/100 actually just the usual suspects because, well, "thats what everyone else says".
Am I making sense to you? Because I'm not to myself. Try again.
Are games like Medieval Madness, Theatre of Magic, Iron Man etc REALLY as popular choices as they are purely based on quality? or are a lot of these regularly mentioned machines simply fortunate to be 1) Easier to find today 2) Included on sims such as Williams HOF and 3) Having that Domino factor (e.g 50 people say "I LOVE that game", 50 more new pinball fans come along, read that somewhere, then they also say "I LOVE that game" and so on)
Or are these games truly the best Pinball Machines ever made? As there are a bunch of games that frequently appear in the top 50 that blow my mind as to how they got there.
Anywhoo, you get my point, now discuss, dammit. Looking forward to your various views.
I'm not picking on any game in particular, I just mean that range that everybody always mentions.
