What is the Hardest and the Easiest pinball machine you ever played?

Easiest: I'd say batman '66. It's one of the few games that I really feel I rarely get cheated out of a ball.
Hardest: Ghost Busters. I've had one good match of it, every other one is just a ball drain.
Honorable mention for hardest also goes to robocop. Personally one of my favorite pins, but if you miss the ramp, or god forbid go for one of those colored targets, that ball will ricochet a million MPH right down the middle haha.
Easiest: Pinball 2000: Revenge From Mars. A "shoot me in the face" level of boredom.
Hardest: Spirit of 76 / Pioneer. Kicks my ass every time...love it!
Easiest:Data East Batman
Hardest: Flash Gordon--my games don't get any better, no matter how much I think my skills have improved.
South Park is really easy. Honorable mention to long ball times on The Hobbit.
Dr Who is really difficult for me, even with standard flippers. Although some EM should be at the top of this list.
Rotterdam
Gilligan's Island
Hardest -RBION
Easiest - GI
love em both
A ton of 2 inch flipper EMs are crazy hard--especially those wedgeheads, since a single tilt is an instant game over. From the modern era, I've cursed at many a BSD.
Easiest? That's tough to say, since there's a lot of variables that go into making a game easy. From an objective point of view, I've had boringly long games on titles like Super Mario Bros. and Junk Yard. SMB has the trademark Gottlieb "catch everything" flippers, and on Junk Yard, I find it way too easy to light ball recycles on the outlanes.
Quoted from Aflacjack:Bram Strokers Dracula. Both fit that within 5 mins of each other.
This is definitely the game that came to mind for me. A bunch of ball drains and then bam...magic and a nice long game.
