Quoted from pinballslave:
It's amazing that out of all the pinballs made, only 258 have got enough votes to qualify for a place in the charts...

I wish Pinside would lower the bar a bit re how many votes are needed for a game to get in... I think it used to be 10, but it was raised to 15 as 'odd' games started emerging and spoiling the look of the charts I guess...

After I checked Gladiators, pinside said it only had 14 ratings, and needed 15 to qualify. So I went ahead and gave it thumbs up ratings, but that didn't matter. It still only has 14.

About 2/3rds of my pins aren't reviewed enough to rank.

My lowest rated is Orbitor 1 at #249.

The only one I have that's made the top 50 is BSD.

Holy cow Baywatch outranks BBH? Something is terribly wrong with the rankings when that happens . . . BBH is a really fun game.

Yes, but Baywatch is even more fun, because sharks and boobs.

The database is recompiled only once a week. Your rating will show up. Give it some time.

Not ranked doesn't make it low... it could be high, it's just 'hidden' till it gets the necessary votes to make it visible... the magic 15... Mind you, as soon as it gets 15, if Pinside doesn't like to see it in the charts, they might just raise the bar again to get it out...

Sounds like there is quite a few machines that will be showing up in the Pinside rankings as soon as they get just a few more individual ratings added by Pinsiders.

To me the 15 required ratings per machine is a good number to use for the early ss pins and newer/present pins. When it was set at 10, there seemed to be more wacked out movement in the Pinside Top 100/200+ and there was more complaining at that time.

I believe most are ok w/ the e-m type pins to require less than 15 ratings to start showing up on the top e-m list (at least for now).

Probably Air Aces would be the lowest if it had enough ratings (it has 1). It could be renamed to "I like drop targets", but it's fun in its own way. I've got a Genesis which is in the 210's which easily should rate higher. The backglass is uniquely terrible which makes it awesome, I even bought a NOS replacement since the PO put something else in.

I'm not sure what the lowest I'd go is, probably a Baby Pac Man (is that even considered a pin here?) or a RCT would be it for my low end purchases.

Take it however you like. I choose my food, house, cars, wife and yes, even my pinball machines based upon how much *I* like them. And I do not give a crap about where they show up on an internet popularity poll.

Isn't that the whole point of this thread? People saying they have low ranked games and don't give a sh!t that not only do they own enjoy them but like other ones that are 'ranked' low.

I agree it doesn't matter....just conversation in a PINBALL thread.

Exactly, it's just a bit of fun banter... Now if this topic was about the top ranked games, then the comment about not caring would be more relevant...

Mr Warpig seems to care more about this topic than the people posting care about where their games rank

My lowest game would probably be the underrated Laser Cue, but it's telling me that it only has 12 ratings when it needs 15. Past that, my Sorcerer comes in at #102. Lowest rated game on my wishlist is Rollergames at #158.
