    If you could only own one pin….. what would it be?

    #2 1 year ago

    From my collection: TZ

    TZ
    IJTPA
    LOTR
    WOZ
    CV
    GZ Premium

    #3 1 year ago

    Tron maybe, or TWD.

    #5 1 year ago

    Right now it would be GZ but I couldn't own 1 pin forever so realistically my 1 pin would be a rotator

    #6 1 year ago

    Attack from Mars

    #7 1 year ago

    Metallica

    #8 1 year ago

    My first NIB - an original Medieval Madness.
    That will be the last pin to go in my collection.

    #10 1 year ago

    Was AFM, now a debate between that and GZ.

    #11 1 year ago

    EHOH. So far this is my favorte LCD era pin that I've played, and I prefer newer stuff.

    Scared Stiff is one of my favorite DMD games. I just love how campy these games are and of course I like cleavage.

    #12 1 year ago

    Simpsons Pinball Party?

    Don't have AFM yet, that might be it. (Despite having STh)

    #13 1 year ago

    Capcom Kingpin

    LTG : )

    #14 1 year ago

    My Paragon.... even though its being abused as a table as I reorganize my garage..

    Stern Star Wars prem comic.

    #16 1 year ago

    Batman 66 :}

    #17 1 year ago

    Either my SW comic premium or my dialed in LE. I just love dialed in guys!

    #19 1 year ago

    Hmm.. WMS grand prix.

    #20 1 year ago

    Medieval Madness...yeah, I'm one of those people. Whitewater is a close 2nd.

    Metallica!!. We've had 36 pins in 5 years after many years of none, and it's the one game I keep going back to. Total package, theme, art, callouts, band participation and soundtrack.

    #23 1 year ago

    Owning one pin
    But if I had to pick one it will be ATF or GZ prem

    #25 1 year ago

    1965 Gottlieb "Pleasure Isle".

    #26 1 year ago

    I would have said TZ until I got a Wonka. Deep code, great shot flow, and beautiful light show. Wonka is the complete package and stong enough to stand alone.

    #27 1 year ago

    TRON. It checks off all of the boxes.

    #28 1 year ago

    Maiden, theme and gameplay are right on for me

    Dr
    I believe the prognosis is...FUCKING AWESOME
    Nice.
    Love the A Matter of Life and Death poster. Great album.

    #30 1 year ago

    One game only?!

    Then it would have to be the game that delivers the pinball experience on the most levels ...

    I500 wtf you think I'm gonna say

    Very different games. TSPP long ball times and lots of mode stacking. Really cerebral. AFM more direct and attacking. If you love TSPP hard to believe AFM would be your favorite if you had one

    Me, I own both, and am partial to AFM

    #33 1 year ago

    AFM for me with modded Met pro probably second. Do like TZ so sometimes that gets close

    #34 1 year ago
    Quoted from Gryszzz:

    I500 wtf you think I'm gonna say

    Vrrrrrrrooooooooommmmmm!!!!!

    #35 1 year ago

    Bad Girls is the pin I play the most right now. Before that it was Amazing Spider-Man for a long time. So I would pick one of those two.

    #37 1 year ago

    I hope one the undisputed best pins ever -- Black Hole -- didn't hear you just speak this blasphemy so close to your Paragon!

    #38 1 year ago

    Blue, no…yellow!

    #40 1 year ago
    Quoted from EJS:

    post like this

    I mean c'mon bucko at LEAST spice up the REASON for why you can only have 1 pin:

    + divorced and living in your van
    + literally living on a desert island with only solar power to maybe generate enough juice for 1 pin on a sunny day.
    + moved into a 300 sq ft. manhattan studio apartment on the 30th floor with a broken elevator, for half your tech salary

    I mean -- c'mon buddy pal. a little spice...
    I mean if I could only have one spice... I dunno man is it red pepper flakes, black pepper, cinnamon, garlic? This is a tough one... but WHY -- WHY only one spice???

    -mof

    #41 1 year ago

    My collection was built on the 3 D’s

    Divorce
    Downsizing
    Death

    That’s probably ranked accordingly too.

    #42 1 year ago

    My collection:

    Godzilla prem
    Jurassic Park prem
    TMNT prem
    No Good Gofers HUO
    Stranger Things prem
    Elvira House of Horrors
    Judge Dredd
    Shaq-Attaq

    I would pick Shaq.

    Just kidding. Elvira HOH. It’s just the perfect pinball machine - art, callouts, rules, depth, humor, theme, video package, sound, etc. it’s challenging yet also fun to casually flip. My wife and I spent a good amount of time ranking our machines according to every detail, and Elvira topped both our lists handily.

    But Stranger Things prem and Godzilla are close behind. I wouldn’t even own a stranger things pro, but the prem with the projector and uv kit? It’s like nothing else in pinball. Ask me another day and I’ll say Godzilla or stranger things, but today I say Elvira.

    #43 1 year ago

    TSPP. Easily.

    #44 1 year ago

    Batman '66. However I did buy Flash Gordon twice so guess I can't live with just 1.

    #45 1 year ago

    Obviously a noob. The whole f'in premise is stupid. Owning one pinball machine... Lololol
    No pinball reproduction savvy whatsoever...

    #46 1 year ago

    Is it even possible to own only one?

    #47 1 year ago
    Quoted from koji:

    Hmm.. WMS grand prix.

    Good one! The fact that this game is not in the em top 100 is mind blowing.

    #48 1 year ago

    Supreme, cause I’m all about the lifestyle.

    #49 1 year ago

    Wonka.

    Until you look at the games that make up the EM "Top 100" and realize that many of the reviewers have obviously not played a lot of EMs.
