I need some opinions as I try to choose among these 4 great MP pins...
They are Fast draw, Wizard, Surf Champ and Joker Poker (SS only)...
Thanks and "Happy Holidays".....

Fast Draw
Gottlieb, 1975-
Joker Poker
Gottlieb, 1978

Surf Champ
Gottlieb, 1976

Wizard!
Bally, 1975
In order:
*Joker Poker- SS (Hands down the best and no draw backs here except it is an SS) 
*Fast Draw - (Always thought the holes for the specials should have been a direct shot from the Flippers, instead of a luck shot) Still a great game though. 
*Surf Champ - (the Spinner shot can get cut short because of the position of the pop bumper, not good) Still a good game overall. 
*Wizard (way down on my personal list -cool art. so-so game play. just OK colors) - Good to have in a large collection (75+ pins)

Never played Joker Poker (would like to) but I have Quick Draw (2-player version of FD) and it is a great game - feel it is much better than Wizard or Surf Champ. Of all the EM multi-players I have played/owned, I feel it is the best in terms of rule set, combination of drops targets + ball speed + top-to-bottom action.

joker poker (either the em or the ss version) is a great game... i'd love an em version, but they are cost prohibitive... i would like a nice refurbished ss one someday...
fwiw, i vote "4 single players"...

Joker Poker A great game and the SS version keeps up with all the scoring!
Surf Champ I have a Surfer 2 player
Fast Draw Excellent drop target game
Wizard The "flip flops" are crap Bally could have done better
Most of my collection are drop target games
Lyon
1 Surf Champ
2 Fast Draw
or nothing....

Surf Champ is the best multiplayer in my collection. The flow of the game is superb and if you can bounce the ball back to get all 5 star rollovers... it's a good feeling.
Joker Poker is a close second

Agree completely with this breakdown... I've played all of them... a lot, other than Wizard, that looks cool but is a yawner.
Bulli
Quoted from illawarra92:know it's not on your list but have you considered vulcan/fire queen?
My vote would also be for Vulcan.
