Quoted from snyper2099:

Torpedo Alley is one.

This. I mean I'm hardly an expert, but I don't understand the disdain this game gets. It's almost a System 11 (DE clone of such) and ought to be considered an honorary member. 2 different multiballs (with KLAXON!), blazing speed, risk/reward shots, loops, ramps, and a killer soundtrack with fun callouts. And if you're beyond "simpler era" gameplay, its difficulty can really be cranked up in game settings too.

Ya'll want your damn JAWS game? This one pumps the coda in bass every time you hit an inlane, what more do you need

Of all the games in my collection, and others I've played... TA is the one that never fails to make me grin even when I choke. It just has an unabashed, almost Medieval-Madness style of humor about it. It's a consistent favorite of my kids and their friends as well as adult guests. Most recently I was at local location with 60 pins during a slow time and while all the new sterns were mostly unplayed, their TA had a consistent crowd. It's just cheezy silly "System 11-style" pinball fun that deserves more respect. If it wasn't so rare and I had the ability, I'd retheme it as "Down Periscope", maybe that would help.
