As there is not a comprehensive universally accepted "A" list or definition of same. And as the "list" will evolve over time, I would contend that Whitewater has now entered what most people would consider the top classification of collectible pinball machines. Call it what you will.
This hasn't always been the case but it's finally time to put this issue to rest and give Whitewater it's due. Yes, Whitewater is an A list game. There, It had to be said.
And yes I own one.
