A year ago I said I didn't rank my collection because it always changes. But now that I'm down to 20 games, I guess I will:

1. Twilight Zone - Bally, 1993
2. Stars - Stern Electronics, 1978
3. Metallica (Pro) - Stern, 2013
4. Team One - Gottlieb, 1977
5. Attack from Mars - Bally, 1995
6. Aerosmith (Pro) - Stern, 2017
7. Eight Ball Deluxe Limited Edition - Bally, 1982
8. The Getaway: High Speed II - Williams, 1992
9. Iron Man (Pro Vault Edition) - Stern, 2014
10. Harlem Globetrotters On Tour - Bally, 1979
11. AC/DC (Pro) - Stern, 2012
12. Star Trek (Pro) - Stern, 2013
13. Mustang (Pro) - Stern, 2014
14. Solar City - Gottlieb, 1977
15. Harlem Globetrotters On Tour - Bally, 1979
16. Tri Zone - Williams, 1979
17. Eight Ball - Bally, 1977
18. 4 Square - Gottlieb, 1971
19. Kings of Steel - Bally, 1984
20. Jumping Jack - Gottlieb, 1973

The HG at 10 has a prototype plastic playfield that Bally experimented with. The HG at 15 has a normal wooden playfield. I like to play the prototype one a bit more because it is slick and fast. But they are both a blast.

The only difficult battle right now is between 4 and 5. If I did this again in an hour, I might answer the opposite. Team One is awesome, and AFM is awesome. Both of them occasionally make it to #1 on my list.

Really I'll play any of the top 16 on the list at any time. The outlier is still Kings of Steel. I've had issues with it since I bought it, so it has never really become part of the group I play a lot. But I like that game, so at some point I'll get around to doing the work it needs and really getting it into the rotation. At that point I'm sure it will move up the list. Once it is running right, that will move it up a few spots.

Quoted from chubtoad13:

This was tougher than I thought. It’s hard to choose between a bunch of games you like. The EMs fell to the bottom, but I still think they’re great.
1. TWD LE
2. SW Premium
3. Getaway
4. Flight 2000
5. Fun Park
6. Jet Spin
7. WPT (only had it for a day so I’m not sure where it falls. I’m guessing between F2k and Fun Park)
Currently I play #5 the most

Quoted from chubtoad13:

A year later;
1. TWD LE
2. Stars
3. LOTR
4. SW Premium
5. WPT
6. F2k
7. Stingray

Another year passed....bump

Every time I do this I change the list a dozen times before I settle on an order. JP being on top was the only one that didn’t change.

1. JP premium
2. TWD LE
3. Stars
4. BSD
5. AIQ LE
6. SW premium
7. F2k

#164 2 years ago

Well here’s my update as well. JP #1 for two years now but guess who’s made a huge comeback……wonka! I’m digging the new code.

1) JP2
2) Alien
3) POTC JJP
4) Wonka
5) GnR
6) WoZ
7) TMNT
8) IJTPA
9) Getaway

#165 2 years ago

I just looked over my rankings from less than a year ago, and as expected, it’s very different now. My #1 game is going on the block soon. Others are gone already, and new ones have arrived. I guess my rankings are bullcrap

#166 2 years ago
Quoted from DaveH:

Unless you don’t think it’s a good game anymore, your rankings might not be as bullcrap as you think. I had LOTR as my number 3 last year and I still think it’s a better game than the ones I listed below it. I sold it because I felt like I played it enough and I don’t like to keep games that aren’t getting played.
Even though BSD isn’t at the bottom of my list, it’ll probably be the next on the block.

I should be getting Alien soonish. I’m excited to see where it lands on my list. I’ve only played the heighway version a few times.

This is really cool to look back on. 12 months can make a bit of a difference in the collection. 6 changes.

Quoted from NC_Pin:

This is an old thread... but a fun one
1- MM
2- TZ (although in my rating I think TZ has a higher score)
3- JP3
4- MBr
5- IJ
6- TS (although 5 and 6 can be swapped at any time)
7- AFM
8- Spiderman VE
9- Munsters LE
10- Champions Pub
11- JP DE (but I still love the game)
1 and 2 are pretty well set in stone.... 3 thru 6 change by the day...
The only game I have thought of selling was our Spiderman VE - we love it - but it so similar to MM and AFM

I’ll update my list

1- Dialed In
2- JP2
3- MM
4- TS
5- TZ
6- AIQ Le
7- IJ
8 - AFM
9 - MBr
10 - CP
11- JP DE

These don’t line up with the scores I give for ranking.... but the order that i currently enjoy playing them.

#170 2 years ago

1. AIQ LE
2. TWD Pro
3. MET Pre
4. IMDN Pro

2 and 3 are pretty close and depend on my mood.

#171 2 years ago

1 MBrLE
2 FG
3 Pin*Bot
4 South Park
5 Central Park
6 The Machine:BOP

Thats my take on my collection. If it wasn't for having a matched set between Pin*Bot and his Bride, BOP would have been long gone by now, I consider it a one shot machine. Great artwork, lightshow and sound, but game play is pretty boring... turn her human, light billion shot, rinse, repeat. Right now, I've been enjoying my wedgehead more than everything else except MBrLE. Need a couple more.

#172 2 years ago

1- Big Daddy
2- Spot-A-Card
3- Heat Wave
4- Gold Rush
5- Sing Along
6- Little Joe

Really difficult, but:
1. Houdini
2. Alien LE
3. DI LE
4. CCC
5. Totan
6. WOZ Standard
7. Ghostbusters Premium

It seems that I need to somewhat revise the list as I have had "some changes" to the lineup - the only one staying from 2 years ago is CCC.

Here's a new list:

1. Medieval Madness
2. The Big Lebowski
3. JJP Pirates of the Caribbean
4. Monster Bash
5. Attack from Mars
6. Cactus Canyon Continued

IMDN pro will join next
Maybe I should trade WOZ or LOTR against a faster pin like GOTG or BM66

2 years later and 4 Games replaced

It's Not easy to rank.... All so Close and I Like all These Machines

Maybe a few interchangeable after the top 10. Halloween and GOTG coming so they will have to be slotted in as well. Love it!

#180 1 year ago

Looking at my own collection:
Sort by: » Date added » Game name » Purchase price » Current average price (Huh, not own or Pinside ranking) ???

Hmm, writing all titles is very tedious, no way to just copy or export a list of titles I own?

I limit it to the 10 of what I currently own:
1 - AFM
2 - Pinbot
3 - Indianapolis 500
4 - Whirlwind
5 - Time Machine
6 - Twilight Zone
7 - Indiana Jones
8 - STTNG
9 - Taxi
10 - Black Hole

When I get finally receive my TBL it would definitely be part of my top 10.

#181 1 year ago

Somewhat hard to rank my games. I know I'd probably rank 'em differently as time goes on but here's where I'd go as of right now:

1. Deadpool Premium
2. Cactus Canyon SE
3. Mando Premium
4. Star Trek Pro
5. Rush Premium
6. TMNT Premium
7. Godzilla Premium
8. Jurassic Park Home Pin
9. The Beatles Gold
10. Avengers IQ Premium
11. Batman '66
12. Legends of Valhalla
13. Iron Man Pro Vault
14. Led Zep Premium
15. Wonka LE
16. Star Wars Home Pin
17. Stranger Things Pro
18. GnR LE

Haven't opened Toy Story 4 yet.

#182 1 year ago

I have never tried to rank my games by 1st to last. They all fun in their each way and suck to. Also neat to see everyone's list.

#183 1 year ago

1) Sega Godzilla
2) BSD
3) MSF
4) NGG
5) Flash Gordon
6) Hook

And waiting on my Halloween Standard edition to take maybe the number one spot!

Cheers,

Chris

#184 1 year ago

#186 1 year ago

My biggest surprise doing this again is Metallica at 17. I've played it too many times over the years. I moved it into storage last week. In the past, I would just sell it now and pick it up again in a couple of years. But I rarely see the Pro come up. The only two for sale are TWICE what I paid for mine. So in a year or two I will miss it, and I will bring it back home for many more games.

1. Godzilla (Pro) - This game moved in and took over the house!
2. Deadpool (Pro)
3. Iron Man (Pro Vault Edition) - Just returned after a year at a friends house.
4. Eight Ball Deluxe Limited Edition - Just fixed up, playing like a bitch.
5. Attack from Mars
6. Team One
7. Harlem Globetrotters On Tour (prototype plastic playfield)
8. Stars
9. 4 Square
10. Star Trek (Pro)
11. Aerosmith (Pro)
12. AC/DC (Pro Vault Edition)
13. Eight Ball - Parts order in, so it may shoot up the charts.
14. Mustang (Pro) (out on loan, looking forward to return)
15. Getaway: High Speed II, The - Fix the loop shot!
16. Harlem Globetrotters On Tour (out on loan)
17. Metallica (Pro) - Just moved to storage.
18. Transformers (Pro) (Needs a shop job)
19. Solar City - Rebuild soon
20. Tri Zone - Cheap and cheerful.
21. Jumping Jack - Why is this still here?

#187 1 year ago

That I own (not games in on temp trade)

1. Jurassic Park Premium
2. Lord Of The Rings (Bolted to floor)
3. Star Trek: The Next Generation (Bolted to floor)
4. Flash Gordon
5.Deadpool Pro

6. Fathom (next up on the chopping block)

#188 1 year ago

Tough to rank... they don't necessarily line up with my inside rankings...

1) Medieval Madness
2) Twilight Zone
3) Jurassic Park (Pre/Le)
4) Stranger Things (Pre/Le)
5) EHOH
6) AFM
7) IJ:TPA
8) Godzilla (Pre/Le)
9) Dialed In
10) TSPP
11) Shadow
12) MBr
13) Batman 66
14) JP DE
15) Champion Pub

I don't think I would sell any in my top 7... numbers 8-13 are essentially tied... the last two I have up for sale (both are in nice shape if you are interested)!

#189 1 year ago

1) TBL
2) JJP POTC

I guess the best way to rank them is the order in which I'm least likely to part with. I'll change my mind tomorrow I'm sure.

1 - Quicksilver
2 - Godzilla Premium
3 - Taxi
4 - Cheetah
5 - BSD
6 - Countdown
7 - Abra Ca Dabra
8 - Embryon
9 - Jack*Bot
10 - Alien Star
11 - Mata Hari
12 - Aladdin's Castle

I have to laugh at some of these huge collections composed entirely of games made after 2010. That would get so boring to me. IMO the best collections are composed of games from all different eras & manufacturers. Makes for a balanced & unique lineup, which makes ranking them almost impossible.

#192 1 year ago

Current line-up, it has shrunk a bit and got more quality over quantity in my opinion.

1. Godzilla Premium
2. Rick and Morty BSE
3. Deadpool Pro
4. Baywatch

Absolutely love them all.

#193 1 year ago

I feel like mine changes daily, but as of today:

1.) Stranger Things Pro
2.) Walking Dead Pro
3.) EHOH Premium
4.) MB remake
5.) Halloween CE
6.) X-men LE

When GOTG comes in that will move to the 4 spot.

#194 1 year ago

People often ask when they come into my home or arcade, which was my favorite. I said that was like trying to pick my favorite kid (depends on the day)! With a Big Lebowski on the way, that will likely crack the top 5 . . . Also the list is not necessarily the ones I like the best, but a hybrid of reverse order of what I would sell (14-19) vs. bolted to the floor (1-13)

1. Star Wars LE
2. Twlight Zone
3. Funhouse - I restored this one
4. Star Trek LE
5. Taxi
6. Walking Dead
7. Ghostbusters
8. Safe Cracker
9. Led Zep LE
10. T2
11. Mustang LE (Customized for Shelby)
12. Rack a Ball (A friend that passed away restored)
13. Haunted House
14. Houdini
15. Judge Dredd
16. Dialed In LE
17. Road Show - Would be higher, but have other Lawlor games above
18. Target Alpha
19. Roller Coaster Tycoon
Big Lebowksi - TBD, but likely top 5
