For straight gameplay
Quicksilver then Meteor

Man Free Fall just does nothing for me.
Another one I'm trying to put more time on.

Quoted from catacomb:

It has a lot more going on than it seems...

Awesome thanks for the info!

Thats the whole rub with classic Stern, the wacky rules are why we love them, but since they aren't intuitive you can miss something and leave a bad impression. That's why I try to never completely count a game out.

Other than Viper.

Quoted from Krupps4:

What makes this poll tough, is that I have to believe there are very few people that have played most of the pins in the poll. I’m not saying they aren’t the right answers, but Meteor, Quicksilver and Seawitch are the easy answers....

I agree I think there are some rarer ones that do get missed by people. The fact people are putting Seawitch above a lot of other ones is the only proof I need

#33 3 years ago
Quoted from Krupps4:

What are some of the rarer ones you would put ahead of Seawitch? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Dragonfist I never played until a year or 2 ago. Stargazers were already thin and getting thinner. Not major rare but I think Big Game & Cheetah are obviously way above Seawitch.
People like what they like...but someone (2!) clicked on Viper and submitted it

Quoted from LordHumungus:

....But how many times are u gonna play it in a small collection before u need something new?

If you have space they are great for playing wasted by yourself at night.

Quoted from jj44114:

All these Stern titles were considered crap in the the 90's.

And the 2000s

Quoted from DanMarino:

If there are classic Stern machines better than Flight 2000, then I need to play them and add at least another one to my collection! ...

You're in for a treat, there are plenty!

Quoted from Methos:

I'm not impressed with F2K.

I'd take Gamatron every time

Umm....I'm thinking stars & quicksilver has the least specialty/ drop bank parts?

Quoted from extraballingtmc:

Played a freefall today for the first time. Was thinking of getting one but now I’m not sure. Seems ok but at todays prices not sure the price justifies the gameplay, especially compared to the other sterns I’ve already gathered.

Near the bottom for me. I think it's another rules re-write going on but I don't think you can fix that layout.
