    Quoted from Chisox:

    Very interested in the Tron vs Funhouse. Those are both top 25 games for me.

    Remember when people complained that Tron was just a mirror image of Funhouse?

    This is fun. Hard to believe a game I’ve only played once is ranked #1. And Deadpool is #10? There’s some recency bias in play here for sure. But hey, the rankings are the rankings and you got to start somewhere.

    Quoted from freeplay3:

    One thing I don't like is the JJP pirates getting the number 1 seed. If you look at its ratings it only got number on this month because a bunch of people(my guess are owners) of the CE gave it all 10s in ratings. Its rating jumped from 8.729 to 9.661. I'm sure it won't matter in the first couple rounds, but might piss me off if one of my favorites gets bumped because its match up should have been different.
    With that said, this is a pretty awesome thing to do. Thank you. I am really looking forward to watching this for the next few weeks and then posting how my favorites got screwed for a few weeks after it ends.

    It’s tempting to suggest just eliminating the ratings of CE or SLE owners of any game. If those games get whupped in the tourney, we’ll know we’re on to something.

    Quoted from CyberNinja24:

    I’ve owned FT three times.
    Each time it’s the same: love it day one, ready to move it by day two.
    Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and it’s all good, but there’s just no way FT can compete with a new, modern Stern.

    said no one ever, until you.

    Quoted from Waxx:

    Then Fish Tales received 100% of the votes right?

    Competing isn’t winning, last time I checked. So yeah, FT can compete easily with ANY modern Stern.

    A perfect, tight ruleset with all the trimmings - layout, humor, dots, sounds, music, art, fun - plus basic Williams quality (Versus Stern cost cutting). FT can also WIN in my book any day of the week against your basic Stern. Especially for the $$.

    100%? Of course not. That’s just dumb. So why would you even say that? Oh, I know. You paid $15k for EHoH.

    #124 4 years ago
    Quoted from littlecammi:FT undeservedly topped EHoH.
    We suspect hanging chads on votes from Florida caused EHoH to be undercounted.

    We? Not me. I could buy 5 FT for one EHoH. But to have as much fun I’d only need one. Stop selling that the latest overpriced, overhyped vanity play is better than an all time classic pin. Is EHOH good? Sure. Is it fun? I sure enjoyed it when I played it. But DESERVING of anything? I think not.

    Especially against a classic.

    Quoted from iloveplywood:

    If anyone wants to know the actual objectively real top 10 games* of all time just PM me. To be clear this is not my subjective opinion (I actually disagree with most of the games in the list) but a scientifically determined, completely objective evaluation. FYI: I don't like to share this knowledge in public and I do require a NDA before revealing the list to anyone.
    *some people don't consider them to be games, but more like vending machines that you play. I have no opinion on this opinion.

    Just post it or start a new thread. What’s with the dramatic hold out? Or did I miss the joke?
