Pie; apple; cause I like pie.

AC/DC Premium would probably be the last to go but when HEP finishes my silver Centaur I could easily see that one becoming the last one out.

Quoted from MikeS:

I couldn't see going with LOTR or TSPP as an only game. Both are great but you would never be able to play multiplayer on them and you'd have to set aside at least 30 minutes every time you play a game. Maybe if you were allowed to keep 2-3 pins.
I'd have to go with something with medium range depth. Probably STTNG or TZ? ACDC would also foot the bill. Out of those 3 I'd probably go with STTNG. The game has great flow, is always challenging, and is just a complete package. It's the longest lasting pin in my collection for good reason!

As a LOTR owner I disagree IF the majority of people playing aren't great at pinball. But yeah, when Steve from Modern Pinball jumps on my LOTR he played it once for over an hour straight at a party. Sort of ruined the fun.

Right now I would say TWDLE. Unique and challenging layout, I like the art, great dots and light show, fast and brutal gameplay, and the code is awesome.

MM or MMr

Because it's the best pin for me. Play it the most, makes me smile every time

AC/DC Premium. Every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

MM or Whitewater.. have both for 15 years now.

I hate myself for saying this... Game of Thrones. All my other games are getting lonely. Stupid honeymoon period, I sound like a noob.

TSPP is the perfect pinball and would be my pick. It has been my #1 for the past ten years and I don't see that changing.

#61 8 years ago

I think nostalgia is kicking in here a bit but I love Flash Gordon. That might be the pin I would select.
I play it as much as the others in my collection. TSPP, STTNG, AFV etc.
FG is fast, tough, and has several ways it can be played to attempt high scores. Does not hurt that I am a drop target fan either.

....and FG has a good number of drop targets

TAF for me I would say, although I like all of them. I played a TAF on location daily in 1993 and did not ever get tired of it.

Quoted from jwo825:

I would keep The Shadow. Most complete, fun and challenging game I've ever owned. I've played a lot of good games, but none i'd rather own.

I bought this in part ownership with my dad and brother as our first pin just recently. I feel it may have been a mistake... as I don't think I would get over not having ramp diverters on any other pin! It just works.... dialling in smooth super vengeance after super vengeance just feels..... blissful! Right now, and I'm a bit sentimental, I don't think we will ever sell it.
I'm glad to see it features in a few peoples top slot, I really am!

TSPP all the way. Easy choice. Deep rule set, addictive play, blockbuster theme, excellent challenge.

Think i would like a new one. Still need to pick from the hobbit, ghostbusters or the big L. Maybe jjp 3.

"If you could only have one, what would it be and why?"

My first pin... ST:TNG... Before I realized all of this is insane.

You infatuated little pinball bitch! Love at first touch! You are like a school boy who copped his first feel of little Suzie from down the street and fell in love instantly. Snap out of it Dave, have some dignity! You have been playing pinball for decades! What happened to your love of all things Tron?????....or what about your obsession with "precious" or the Man made from Iron???? There is nothing worse than new pinball pussy!.......It warps the mind!

When I hear "GOT" all I think of is:

MM

But since two is minimum for maximum enjoyment
MM
and Spider-Man

Wow. This is a tough question.

Out the games I currently own, ACDC Prem, WOZ, TAF, and JM would probably be in my finalist pile. And I think I'd go with WOZ.

Now...if this were a sell-off to get the most cash... I'd keep Frank Thomas in a heartbeat.
