BK2K gets my vote, although some choices were very close!

Quoted from BALL_LESS1:Voted for F-14, but like Fish Tales and Getaway also, you should include them on your list.
And it's about Steve Ritchie!
Not surprising that BK2K is in the early lead, but I'm just not a big fan. Really like High Speed though.
Knowing your collection mof I would say HS or F-14. I will warn you though, I know that you like a perfect playfield, thats going to be nearly impossible on F-14. They almost always have raised inserts. Having said that mine does but it plays so fast you hardly notice.
I'm going to go against the grain and say Rollergames. When the game is dialed in, it's just fast and fun. The music can be a little annoying, but it also lends the game a certain charm.
Rollergames is a blast! It gets my vote. I finally picked up a Diamond Plate playfield copy. The game is a blast - and boy is it fast. I like the music too... its never leaving the collection.
If you like fast flowing Steve Ritchie games, this one will not disappoint.
theres a F14 onCL for $750
I love me some Rollergames, but High Speed would be my second choice. There's a place by me that has a Rollergames that I could swear was brand spankin' new. It's a wicked table and doesn't play nice, which I like! Also, best soundtrack out as far as I'm concerned.

Quoted from mcluvin:Out of all those either BK2K or F14, but I'd take Mark Ritchie's Taxi any day over any of them. Hey, it's still a Ritchie...
Chris
He already has a Taxi, but a great game! Got one right next to my F-14!
Quoted from balbers:Do what, exactly? Lane drain?
Ha! that made me laugh.
it's a tough choice. For me It would come down to price and condition I want them all! F-14 has been on my radar for sometime. LOCK ON! EAGLE ONE EAGLE ONE 
Quoted from SKILL_SHOT:LOCK ON! EAGLE ONE EAGLE ONE
If you like great callouts F-14 is hard to beat! NOW YOU DDDDDIE COMRADE! YOU CANNOT WIN!
Also you say you like metal, how about the awesome hair metal theme music?

This MUST be done.

That's a rad idea, I would love at least a file I could make a poster of.

NICE! Score card perhaps?!

I prefer the original translite, but would love a high-res for a poster.

Quoted from practicalsteve:Just did a reverse image search and looks like this originally was an Axe body spray ad someone photoshopped
brutal!

I wanna thank you guys for all the votes so far, I was rather sure I wasn't crazy when I thought about adding a Steve Ritchie pin from Sys11, and thought, "Hey wait -- this is not an easy decision to make." It's fun watching the horse race in slow motion...
thanks!

I haven't had a chance to play the others but RG can really be fast and vicious when dialed in, has great music, and if available can usually be bought cheaper than the rest. If you want a really great version with the prototype Skate Drop Targets - it'll cost, but when johnwartjr is done with it you can bet it'll be one of the best examples of a RG out there.
Quoted from Jeff_PHX_AZ:I Voted for High Speed, it took me away from video games as a teen and got me liking pinball again back in 1886. It's the only pin I own as well. It satisfies the pinball craving quite well.
1886, wow!
yeah my smartass filter is broken at the moment.

1886, DAMN BRO!

...so difficult. 3-way tie with Roller Games, High Speed and F-14 (I'm so sorry, but BK2K suffers from the right-flipper-itis I've mentioned before). Nothing plays like F-14...and I mean NOTHING. The ideas in High Speed have been imitated, but the total design is damned near perfect. Roller Games kind of expands on some of the stuff he did in High Speed and is pretty underrated. Tough choice.
