Quoted from AFM95:

Hi Everyone,
My brother and I had a discussion the other day whether The Wizard of Oz deserved a higher ranking than where it sits today at #20. In our opinion, we both agree that it should. I myself would rate it in the Top 10.
Our thoughts for the "not as high ranking" were due to multiple factors such as a unappealing theme to some, light board issues, mechanical parts breaking after minimal play, trolling reviews of those who never even played the game, etc.
What are your thoughts? Would you still rank the game the same way you did four to five years ago? Does it deserve a better ranking today if you just played it for the first time? Does it deserve Top 10 in your opinion?
I appreciate anyone and everyone chiming in. All opinions welcomed.
**Side Note: I accidentally fired off this post without adding a few more options in the poll. I was going to add Top 100 or outside the Top 100. My apologies.

The question is not to know if woz is a top 10, 20 or whatever, but to know what are the best games for your tastes.
When a pinball fellow says Woz blows MM, that makes me laughing as I do not have the same tastes than him.
For me, woz is not a top 10 but is beautiful and deep. Light show is awesome. But Rules were too deep and difficult to understand for me. I prefer more brutal games with short ball time with shallow or easier rules to understand but challenging to master ( TWD, MM, Met..) and fun to play with the one more game factor. I ended to think that woz was not fun to play.
Play it a lot before buying is the best way to have your own opinion but not always easy to do.
