Quoted from TheGunnett:Where are all the TNA guys at?
Here I am. There are 1500 different which pin is better threads. So I dont bother usually.....
Quoted from MK6PIN:Poll would help some post their favorite without getting berrated....good idea...AFMRLE, and yes, BM66 are very serious contenders.....
Honestly this is a personal belief poll. Every individual has a right to their own belief and their own reasons why. It would actually be nice to see the outlying reasons for things. If you just really love Batman from back in the day that is a great reason to feel good about Batman 66 etc.
WOZ gets my vote - I think it reset expectations on what a great pin needs to be and it was the catalyst for the innovations we are seeing from stern and new entries into the market. WOZ got me and my wife into the hobby. There are some new games that I am more interested in playing now, but lets give credit where it is due.
Quoted from Tuna_Delight:Mustang Prem/LE
Adding
I assume you were the other vote
It certainly is nice that we have so many choices in the last 5 or so years to choose from. And from so many manufacturers. So far I am quite pleasantly surprised, can’t wait to see how this shakes out over some time 
Looks like I am now locked out from making further adjustments so if you select other post it here so we know your favorite.

I get that point, and all of these threads are personal choice. Just nice to see in the polls that WOZ is substantially ahead of DI, as it should be...Who knows how it ends up.
Personally, final run AlienLE is the most amazing game I've played that was made in the past 5 years....Nothing approaches it, but they are no more...
BM66 is Stern's best in the last 5....Again, not even close ( fun and theme), with existing code that is very, very strong.
WOZ by a mile for JJP.....If I want a selfie ( not), I'll use my phone.
My top 3 made in the past 5 years, in order of preference.....
I asked Keith Elwin what his favorite game was (with the exception of Iron Maiden), and he said it was The Walking Dead. That means something, I suppose.
The favorite one I've played that came out in the last 5 years is probably Dialed In.
Still cannot get enough of Star Wars LE, by far the most played game in my home.
My vote is Stern Star Wars Premium/LE

Dialed in is a really fun pin even though I really hate the phone part of the theme. Iron Maiden is another fun shooter, but again, I've got an uphill battle to get past the theme.
We'll it was an F'd up release but I have to go with Alien. Most engaging and unique pin of the last five years. The shots, the coding, the sound package... all top notch.
Quoted from Who-Dey:You forgot a few all time greats like Rob Zombie, AMH, Dominos, The Jetsons, and ACNC.
Sure wish I could still add names. Gotta say I am a bit surprised with results so far.
Quoted from Astropin:We'll it was an F'd up release but I have to go with Alien. Most engaging and unique pin of the last five years. The shots, the coding, the sound package... all top notch.
Quoted from IdahoRealtor:Walking Dead needs a spot on the poll. Dump thunderbirds. Whoever sugested that was being a smart ass.
Results are pretty interesting, comparing to Pinside Map numbers, which are
Pinsider Count / Location Count
MET 1015 / 330
GB 686 / 403
ST 659 / 340
WOZ 720 / 120
...
DI 307 / 99
It looks like the map doesn't distinguish Williams / CGC versions though so MM numbers are skewed: I think it should keep those separate.
This vote correlates for some like MET but not others like GB. But I think the ownership counts speak way louder than this vote does: nothing like voting with your wallet. IMDN is too new though: no doubt it will climb in ranking.

Thunderbirds got a vote and it is subjective.
Walking dead is listed as Stern TWD doing very well.

Fair points all. Having one Best does force one to make a choice though. I might buy or own something and not neccesarilly require it the be “The best of”
Frankly, this poll makes me realize there are a lot of games I want to find to play 
Stern Trek is not on the list, but Thunderbirds is... 
Any game that has a vault edition has to be represented, Stern doesn't rerelease games that aren't popular / ranked highly. I guess AC/DC just missed the 5 year stipulation though.
Quoted from HighVoltage:Stern Trek is not on the list, but Thunderbirds is...
Lol.
Question is... Is Stern Trek the best in the last 5 years in your opinion?
2 people did choose Thunderbirds so far.
Had Trek been mentioned as a contender I definitely would have added it.
Maiden or Walking Dead. Just fun, different games with great code.
Dialed In gets an honorable mention for fantastic layout, rules and flow. The Lawlor comeback game we all wanted when Monopoly came out.
As of 200 votes in it looks like Jersey Jack has the edge with Dialed In slightly in the lead over Wizard of Oz.
Stern is following Very closely with 3 Outstanding Releases, Iron Maiden, Metallica, The Walking Dead... if you add up the votes Stern has the overall lead for favorite count so far.
Many honorable mentions and additional favorites. This poll won’t change anybody’s Favorite and whether it is Dialed In or Alien for you, the one thing we can all agree on is diversity in manufacturers and ideas has given us all the gift of a new wave of pinball in the current century 
Now that we are at this point and there are 5 stand outs head on over to the Showdown thread and let’s see who is the best of the top 5.

Quoted from chuckwurt:Complete opposite for me. Have you owned MET? I’ve had it for like 3-4 months and can’t wait to give it back. Haha.
TWD might be the best game ever made in my book.
MET lasted almost an entire year for me.I One of the longest lasting games in my collection. TWD I just can't get into. I tried twice.
I just don't get why it's so well regarded as opposed to a game like iron maiden which I truly appreciate even though the theme and especially that terrible music absolutely kills it for me... But I do respect it as a great game
Quoted from delt31:I just don't get why it's so well regarded
The code is by far Lyman’s best. MET’s code is like swimming through sludge.
Quoted from tonyoz:In my opinion BM66 will be Lyman's best when he is finished with it and I think that is what he is aiming for.
Very possible. But it is going to take a lot to de-throne TWD. There sure is a lot there, just doesn't get my blood pumping like TWD does right now. ACDC is another game for the adrenaline junkies. I think that is amazing as well. GOT is another for me.
Iron Maiden catching up quick!
Head over to part 2 and let’s settle this:
