Quoted from wayout440:I'd say Fathom is at the top. One of those backglasses that rises above, and that I would love to own without the game.
My runners up:
Viper
Paragon
Barracora
Mata Hari
Both Fathom and Viper are equally rad.
Quoted from trunchbull:This thread smells like lubriderm and crusty socks.
Put them at the bottom of the hamper, no one will notice.
Quoted from Shapeshifter:I like these 4 from 1950.
That Maddison Square Gardens looks like is has some pretty cool backbox features. A little Pre-DMD look into the future?
Quoted from Travish:No space invaders? The infinity effect is really cool.
Here you go. My exact game - this is the image I supplied to the Dutch pinball magazine Spinner.
Sorcer is my favorite 80's backglass. Of the more modern games I like both XMen LE backglasses (best of the Sterns in my view, and their last real backglass I believe).
The Mermaid in post reply #21, I'd sure like to see a video of the movement in the backglass (if there is any).
Paul Farris made most of my favorite backglasses. That guy is just amazing and I would own a machine just because he did the art on it.
Quoted from fordtudoor:The best backglasses of all time were any done by David "Mad Dog" Christensen. His favorite is "Mata Hari". I'm partial to "Nitro Groundshaker" and "Old Chicago".
You can't like just one of his.....
Ground Shaker, Wizard, Captain Fantastic, Fireball and Old Chicago to name a few. All are great. If I could only have one, it would have to be Old Chicago since that's where Bally was founded and prospered.
Quoted from Mudflaps:Another reason to love Fathom. Here's the back story on the diver...
Whaaaat!? Where is that from? Too cool.
Certainly one of the best ones is Bad Cats - animated part like from the 60's and modern art from he 80's. What a great combination!

A good one indeed. Another interesting thread about Bad Cats backglass:

Quoted from nman:I've always thought Starlight was nice.
Ok, after seeing a Star Light and Sorcerer side by side at Expo, I'm changing my vote to Sorcerer.
Both great games though. Thanks to whoever brought them.
