    For me Sterns and Ballys rule that time, and its not close.
    Most classic ballys would fit your bill along with others. Flash Gordan is a game everykne should own. Things like Harlem globetrotters, mystic, viking, frontier are all good games. Of course they arent cheap theae days, but what is. Centaur is usually well recieved.
    Williams 80s games like taxi, space shuttle, whirwind, big guns, all can be fast and bad ass.
    Sterns like meteor, nine ball, catacomb, quicksilver, big guns etc etc are getting way high priced so i dont think there's a ton of value there.

    Black hole is...well it looks decent anyway.

    Beatles is, pains me to say it, better than Seawitch. Seawitxhbisbat the bottom end of the good Sterns. It is fast and in your ass though.

    Lot of firepower love. Good game but ibkknda like Blackout more

    Paragon IS an old machine that can play slow as well though. You can jack it up for sure but a lot of golden cliffs, saucer, and lazy Susan's can slow things down.

    Quoted from Krupps4:

    ...It’s a great pin and no way at the bottom end of the Sterns

    Well I said the bottom of the good Sterns. Certainly its way above viper, IMDN, Dracula etc

    Nine ball, catacomb, stargazer, big game, quicksilver, meteor, seawitch, F2k (maybe) cheetah, dragonfist....maybe one or 2 more on there but thats the general idea.

    Quoted from Krupps4:

    . I’ve never played a Dragonfist. Still waiting for that day to come.

    Its a little linear but cool, and that spinner counter is great.

    Quoted from sandro:

    I remember Xenon fondly from the era, but I have to admit that I haven't played one in decades....

    Yeah Xenon has the looks but the play isn't there for me.
