I've been debating getting TS, but I'm hung up on the looks and the theme. It got me thinking, what if you could re-theme or change the looks of any game you love to play. What would the top 5 look like on Pinside. Please list your top 5 games based on play and rules. Do not factor in looks or theme.
Not sure about top 5, but number one for me would be Demolition Man, hands down. Love to play that game but it is UGLY as sin.

+1! DM gets better every time I play it, but the artwork and backglass isn't something i want in my home...
i just picked up a shadow and I love it...everything pales in comparison to it in its price range and I prefer it any new Stern and even games like IJ and CFTBL...
My top 5 would be in no order:
The Shadow, Road Show, No Good Gofers, Twilight Zone, and The Addams Family
currently Tommy would fit that bill in my eyes as I am only playing it right now. It is an excellent pin.
Shadow is a players game. And for competitions I think it is one of the best. The points and rules are so well balanced each player can be doing different things for there score.
Unlike some games where its one main thing and thats where all the points are.
Shadow no doubt.
BUT after a year+ owning I am kind of used to the back glass.

Really? I really like the art package on Tommy.
Everyone says DM and DH are ugly. I own and love them both. I don't think the art is bad either... Aside from the naked Stallone.
Quoted from markmon:spiderman is a great looking game
Yes it is. 
I didn't interpret the thread to say "only ugly good playing games" if that is the intent I withdraw both of my listed games. Even TS is great looking, just not when you look up @ the back box. But..other than when you walk up to the game, when do you???
