Unfortunately I can't do this. My rankings change monthly. It would be stupid because right now, I'm addicted to Mustang Pro. So I'd rank it #1, and nobody would ever respect me in the morning.

That's one thing that happens in a good sized collection. You can't play them all all the time. So you zero in for a while. Mustang will cool off for me, and Tron or something will take its place for a few weeks. And by the time I get back to mustang in 6 months, it will feel brand new to me again. So eventually every game I own becomes number one for a while. And if it can't do that for me, that's when I sell it.

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.

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

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?
