On LOTR after a game is over, it plays a random music and light show (1 of 3 possibilities?) that's exclusive to the end game. Batman Forever also has a nice end of game show as well, an extension of really well done sound and light packages. I find myself being a bit mesmerized by these modes, and it gets me psyched up for another game, no matter how bad the previous game was.

It's one of those small but significant details that really adds to a game, and most likely on-location earning potential, but many games have this missing. I'm interested in hearing what other games have this and which are your favorite?

I love the strobe effect that PinBot has after the end of a game.

TRUE!

SM during game play has great sound and lighting.
The best Lighting on a pin that I ever seen was Phoebe's AFM with the saucer lighting!!

OP
Quoted from Baiter:

Not really, those songs are in the game's modes as well.
Putting your initials in gets you a "Main Street Electrical Parade-esque" tune, which is rather catchy.

I'm with Dug,
SS all the way. (But seriously, there are just too many to choose from!)

Spider-Man has an awesome light show that's timed to the music really well. Bride of Pinbot has a great one too. I've also always loved the music you get in Twilight Zone if you get to enter your initials.

Oh heck yeah and I love the Peter Gunn theme music during the game but the end game just doesn't come close to the intensity of F-14. In fact W?D end game kinda lulls you to sleep whereas F-14 makes you wanna jump in the cockpit and go another round!

This is the first time the lights and music alone captured by attention. Lawlor did such a good job with that one I messed up my own name.

Oh yeah, almost forgot, Swords of Fury high score end game. VERY rockin' soundtrack but light show still can't compare to F-14.

Really? I find WW's to be incredibly disappointing. Other than the initial thunder, the lightshow is very uninspired. It's really the only problem with the game in my opinion.

I vote Pinbot...especially when you consider the era, and it still holds up as one of the best today. That machine is pure personality and character.

CV and WoF also have very fun game-over sequences.

A lot of Sys11 games have great lightshows and make good use of flashers.
Whirlwind is good;. my favorite is Funhouse when you were able to enter highscore initials, that music always put a smile on my face

I love the way F-14 ends when you get a high score. I call it the F-14 dance.

I love the ending on SM when it plays the theme song...and it is EXTRA cool when you have the Cointaker undercab lighting kit hooked up to flash in time with the music!!
But I think my fave would have to be F-14...but that is only if you get on the high score board when it plays the whole song anchors away and the lights and flashers all go off in time with it!

Totan is pretty amazing, WH2o with the home roms is good. NGG has a great end game show and F-14, yes very very good.

I like the light show on StarGate for some reason, maybe it is just because the machine is new to my collection.

Don't know about "incredibly", but I see your point here. The music is great but the lightshow seems lazy. Greatest game ever overall though IMHO.
Also I have to agree with you on Pinbot. Well said.
