Best games of the early 80s

Medusa
Centaur
Flash Gordon
EBD
Embryon
Fathom
Elektra
Vector

All have the most detailed and prettiest art of the era, built alot better than Sterns, Williams and Gotteliebs and all have completely different setup, layouts and Gameplay. Unlike Williams Not to say williams and Stern made some cool machines but sterns seem plain and like alot more could have been done to them.
bally wasnt afraid to put some time and effort into their game designs and seemed to have pretty cool themes.

Well if the crieria is so small You should eliminate the pre 85 SS in the title and relabel it Pre 1980 SS pins or Pre XENON. Honestly i think the pre 80 games blow and none of them are great in any real way.
If you want to get technical Medusa fits the criteria you asked for and so does Spectrum like it or not.
If this topic is limited to the flat boring SS or pretty much EM with digital displays I dont think any of them were realy great obsolutely not the best.
