    My darkhorse pick for solid state widebody is Scorpion.

    Future Spa is excellent (for its time) in all respects.

    Gotta give a shout out to Title Fight, a very fun and clever layout.

    Give Alien Poker a look - a crossover ball launch, targets spread to create lots of shots, the "gambling" aspect of knocking the 5 drops now or holding them until you crank up the multiple, the memory of what drops you've hit across ball drains and the third flipper I guess offers additional angles. No multi-ball though despite three lock holes - go figure.

    Space Invaders. Looks awesome, lots of shots, love the four-flipper geometry.

    Some great titles have already been mentioned. For Early Gottlieb Buck Rogers can be fun once setup correctly.

    As far as odd ones Af-Tor by Wico was a surprising one. Not a common game but it is a fun game to play.

    Halloween

    Hoops… nothing else comes close!

    #63 1 year ago

    Stars really is the whole package with the real chimes-the sounds are pure pinball goodness

    TNA is today's Stars-only with custom synth tunes instead of chimes

    Beatles is super fun-nothing like ripping the orbits-feels so good

    Paragon for a wide body is fun-lots of great games mentioned

    pinmister knows what he's talking about.

    So many too choose from!! I'm more of a Williams girl.
    You already mentioned Gorgar, Alien Poker, Scorpion and Barracora have also been mentioned. Algar is a widebody but a fun and challenging game, Star Light is awesome! There's also Blackout, Warlok, Time Fantasy. Catacomb is a challenging Stern, and Fathom is an awesome and beautiful Bally...
    I would suggest possibly playing any that interest you to see if they're what you are looking for. Go with your gut, cause in the end it's all about what you choose not what others tell you to choose...
    Good luck and play pinball!!

    Quoted from splattii:

    I only have room for a few pins and that's it. I have 3 pins with Ramps, bridges or a second level playfield. I also have a pair of EM's. I want to switch up the lineup but I want a single level game as I like variety but I want to get away from another EM. Tempted to grab a Gorgar but IMO the price is a bit much for the number of shots. Granted it's beautiful to look at but on a whole I think for the price I can do better but maybe I'm wrong!? I like Big Game but it's not easy to find and it's not exactly cheap either, which is ok, but I just don't see any in my area. What are some of the better single level games outside of the EM era?

    Grab Gorgar. Great game. Keep your eyes peeled and you'll find one 'cheap'--there are a ton out there.

    Quoted from bingopodcast:

    Drained - https://drainedpinball.com (though I'm a little biased)

    That P3 Drained machine looks pretty fun.

    A Gorgar parts machine very recently posted in the project game thread for $100: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/post-project-pins-for-sale-here-cl-ebay-pinside-and-others/page/486#post-7399526

    You don't actually need ramps in a pinball game. Single-level playfields can offer the complete pinball experience.

    Thanks to everyone for the help. Sometimes the game picks you and you don't get to pick the game. Out of the blue a nicely priced Eight Ball Deluxe (1984) fell into my lap with a near perfect backglass and what seems to be little to no wear on the playfield. Picked it up today and going to see how it goes.

    Congrats! The definition of a "one more" game

    Yep - congrats! EBD is a very fun game!

    Excellent choice! Congratulations on the score. I’ll give it six months max before you have your next game.

    That game needs to have its sound effects upgraded.

    It sounds Ike diarrhea and low quality sound effects.
