Black Knight 2000 gets my vote. The Lightning Wheel, Ransom, Hurry-Up and Jackpot's lights and sounds are incredibly well choreographed. Every action has a fitting, intense sound that seamlessly blends the various music tracks, and every sound has a corresponding light sequence that matches the intensity and rhythm of the sounds.
I guess that sounds like common sense pinball design, but imo, BK2K's presentation (not even counting the gameplay) creates a man-machine connection I've never felt with another table.
Quoted from Britt-in-VA:Interesting that all three games named so far are System 11.
They didn't have that fancy-pants DMD to lean on to build the immersion. Art through adversity.

Good point.
Haunted House with its lightning effects and Bach organ music is a definite contender. It was a standout in any row of machines in its day.
Quoted from wayout440:2nd place to the end game music and light show on F-14 Tomcat
Or high score music and light show!

Oooh that's a good one too.
To me, even in attract mode that music captures everything that was good about the 80's. I could just listen to that pin all day.
That's one pin that eventually, I'd like to have a Collectors Quality version of, and willing to pay for it.

I miss mine

I do too. It was my first pin getting into the hobby. I loved playing it, but wanted to move up into the dmd realm. Sold it and bought a STTNG, which I eventually sold and bought a TZ (what I have now)...
But from a pure fun, art, music, lightshow perspective, EATPM blows them all away to me. That's the one pin out of all of them so far that I want to own again and not let go.

I parted with mine in a trade for BH (which I still have).
That was a few years back before pin prices went crazy.
