F-14 is the only other game next to Pinbot I know of where I can drain all 3 balls in a matter of minutes. Name some other brutal games. Freakin' F14, love it and hate it at the same time.

My shortest ball time game is Flash Gordon. Punishing game, even a perfect shot that you meant to make can drain. 
DM can go quick...alot!
Quoted from Gnatty:Eightball Deluxe, mine is brutal! I love it. True pinball at its finest!
Not sure if yours does this, but mine at least 50% of the time goes sdtm after hitting the 8 ball drop.
Quoted from o-din:Any machine with a ball save feature should not even be mentioned.
Ball savers, kickbacks, gates etc. are added where the designer may feel ball times are too short.
Mario Andretti has all of them and still I run into the gift of guaranteed two minutes of playtime.

I prefer games where the designers didn't worry about those things. I have a few...
Yes BSD always kicks my ass on location.
Here's my list of short ball-time games... (minus Barracora)

Centaur has some long ball times if you start getting the chain reaction multi-ball going.
Apollo 13. "Three... two... one... BLASTOFF!!" *cachink cachink cachink clack clack flip flip flip cachink flip pop pop flip pop click clack clack* "JACKPOT!!" *flip flip pop bonk boink bang clink clink drain drain drain drain drain flip drain drain drain pop pow drain drain drain flip flap drain drain*
"Gentlemen, it's been a privilege flying with you."

Yeah, I'd put Black Hole and Fathom at the top of that list.

Quoted from kst8cat:Q*Bert's Quest is pretty bad due to the funky layout and flipper positions.
@!#?@!
Quoted from kst8cat:Also Q*Bert's Quest is pretty bad due to the funky layout and flipper positions.
Sad to think we don't really see hit games with crazy ass trippy themes anymore like qbert and dig dug. Everything is so serious for the most part. They went from creativity due to the limiting factors of the hardware all the way to the opposite of doing something just because they can.
The last game I can think of that I thought was an amazing idea and ridiculously trippy fun theme that also did well was Katamari Damacy. Freaking love that game.
Quoted from RobT:Funny how no EMs are mentioned, yet there are many that have ball times WAY shorter than many of the pins being mentioned in this thread, including BSD and IM.

Oh, they get mentioned. But sometimes they get ignored. What was your longest ball time on Big Daddy, Rob? We count those in micro-seconds.
