    Just curious on opinions as we have been down this road before though everyone wants to know what the best underrated game and people usually say normal games that we all have played or games rated in the top 100

    For me I quite enjoy Austin Powers. I've heard players love WPT and Sharkey's Shootout. I also like Big Buck Hunter quite a bit.

    So the question is what else is a true players game that is overlooked by many.

    My answer may be Austin Powers as it has a similar layout to that of Iron Man.

    WPT and Sharky's i find both to be fun games. Austin Powers is not my favorite.

    Baywatch, and for an older game Special Force. Special Force is a good player, with good rules, and brutally difficult.

    Didn't even know there was a top 100 until this. Looked up above and there it is!! Duh : ) It would be easy for me, Gottlieb Spirit.

    "Radical" Rocks, should be higher than 140, like 80 or so. I guess most players have not played one because of low producton numbers.

    Rollergames is definitely up there as well. Its rated super low for such a great game.

    I'm interested because I want to find some of these games and play them.

    I like Pinbot better in every way other than the rules. I think they are both underrated, to be honest.

    Yes. Very under-rated imo. Gets knocks for unfinished code and the theme. The theme is very well integrated with some brilliant rules by Keefer and a unique, old-school layout by Nordman. Everyone screams for something different and that's what Stern delivered with WoF.

    Johnny Mnemonic

    Johnny is #68 (just picked one up yesterday!)

    I'd add CSI to this list. Great Lawlor pin, good rules (reminds me a lot of my IM) and hard to beat the multiballs. Most people rate it down because they don't like the idea of a TV series getting a pin.

    Nordman seems to always deliver on the something different.

    Look at his games

    DM, SS, WH20, BBH, WOF etc.., all are dramatically different than what came before them. With the exception of EATPM vs SS

    Agreed for WPT.

    For older games, some of the Zaccarias are great, even if most Generation 2 Zaccarias have no multiball. My friends who are tournament players loved challenges on my BlackBelt (now gone...).

    BBH is not Nordman. That's Borg.

    Rollergames gets mentioned often in "under rated" discussions. Is there a cheaper game that still gives a solid Steve Ritchie experience?

    Lots of really good games that aren't in the top 100 but should be, have been mentioned, but a couple really stood out to me.

    Joker Poker is a fantastic game, really should be top 50 IMO, and was really surprised to see Space Shuttle down so low too.

    Indeed. Hell, that game is currently ranked at 205.

    Jackbot and Firepower should certainly be in the top 100.
