I can find something good in every game, so I have none that I hate... It's easier to answer what are overrated, but we have other threads for such.

Quoted from Circus_Animal:

5) Black Hole- Quite possibly the stupidest ruleset ever conceived. Work towards getting the ball to the lower playfield. If you manage to do that, you'll probably be rewarded by having your ball dumped into the outlane.

If you purposefully put the ball on the lower playfield before opening the gate to avoid the outlane, and then bitch about draining it when it comes up, that's not an issue with the rules.

Hard games are the ones that keep me coming back, but there is a point where I feel like I'm just knocking my head against the wall. BH is tough. IM is right there too, and frustrates me far more. Being a masochist I own both.

Quoted from Whysnow:

1> ACDC man I hate this game. Everyone thinks the king is so great but he put a damn "cannon" over the inlane and then neglected to make sure it coded to be worthwhile. Left it to Lyman to make a game that you need an actual manual to know what to shoot for next and lacks proper callout to provide status. If I win the lotto ever I will buy every single one I can find and burn it with fire.

I agree on the rules, the game should do a better job letting you know what to do. I was playing it last night, and all I wanted to do was to combo the ramps a few times, but every single ramp shot went into the freaking cannon. I nearly walked away from the game.

Quoted from Circus_Animal:

I thought you had to clear the target banks on the lower playfield to open the gate? Still, in an era where the vast majority of games were on location (and therefore many players wouldn't have known the rules), it's not a good setup.

On BH, on the upper playfield if you you hit all 4 standups on the right and then get it in the right inlane you open the return gate and are thus clear for a risk free trip to the lower playfield. If you get it down there before opening the gate, you have still have the ability to open the gate by hitting all drop targets on either bank. The bottom playfield is used for multipliers, ball locks, and special. All together the use and rules of the lower playfield are fairly brilliant, IMO.
