Whisky Tango Foxtrot?!? 
Quoted from joegeno:Woz
Acdc
Lotr
Tspp
Met
Ripleys
ACDC is really second? I don't know the game that well but I didn't think it was that deep.
Shouldnt WPT be up there?

I never thought of Metallica as a deep game, but I guess it is. Completing all 4 CIU modes and then getting EOTL is probably something I'll never accomplish.
Gilligan's Island
RBION and probably the hardest too beat, Atlantis or Frog Frenzy!
Mine ain't going anywhere till I achieve these, guess it will be cremated with me?
Quoted from chubtoad13:Has anyone ever beaten big buck hunter?
Nope, but it is not a deep rule set. Just real damn hard to get OPEN SEASON. good game.
Quoted from snyper2099:Also, don't confuse deep with fun. Deep is a description, fun is an opinion.
certainly true. but what would be the point of a "most fun game" thread? clearly thatd just be a recipe for disaster and hurt feelings.

Which one is married to the Woz Queen?
Quoted from lordloss:Which one is married to the Woz Queen?
they are married to each other. It's one of those relationships.
I keep reading threads about deep rules, deep rules don't mean squat if the playfield design is mediocre.

+1
They even mean less if they are attached to a sucky theme.

I have reached Atlantis and its spectacular! Keep trying it's worth it.
My vote is LOTR. Still have not reached Valinor. Someday.........
Damn you LOTR, must conquer Valinor!!!

True, it goes the other way as well. Even if a playfield design is great it does't mean squat if the rules are mediocre.

Deep rules mean everything. The playfield doesn't matter and should be ignored along with art and theme. Nothing matters but rules.
I've heard the "if it ain't fun it ain't shit" argument so many times I thought I'd say the opposite to see what it looked like. Nobody ever said what I just said there, yet everyone acts like it is said all the time. But actually, I agree. Fun (opinion) is what makes you want to learn rules (depth).
