Hello, I tend to rely at the ipdb.org list as a more reliable / stable list. It has its own bias toward Williams 92-96 games but still I is fire proof against quick manipulation that you rightly described here. My modest purchase approach is as follows: do I like the pinball? ( I try it on pinball arcade and virtual support to make my mind ), is it different enough to something I already own? ( I wouldn’t buy a #TOTAN as I already own a #TOM, or a #TAF as I already own a #TZ and so on ), is it in the top 10 of the ipdb.org list? How do it fares in the pinside list? ( like top 30? ). This has push me to buy a #WH2O even though it wasn’t for me an obvious choice and may do the same for a #SS man cave s place permitting. It only exception I allowed myself to this approach is a baby Pacman which is love but I understand it is a teen acquired taste. This approach follows a couple of tries that were more based on maximizing the fun per $. Does it has multiball ? Does it has drop target ? Is it below 1000 $ ? This has been hit and miss with class of 1812 who was great and gladiators who was beuh.
