other than homebrew/reskins, Pinball Circus is likely it. i did get to see Predator at the NW Pinball and Arcade Show but it wasn't functioning well enough for anyone to play it (same with the original Magic Girl cab a few years later.)
i have been lucky enough to play some great low-production number games like Defender, Warlok, Joust, Cyclopes, original run TBL and Aliens, Time Fantasy, Andromeda, Captain Hook...

Just got a Captain Hook! One of the best Game
Plan’s made. Love the crap out of it
I heard the Fun house 2.0 Kit is gonna be amazing 
Quoted from Mopar:I have to believe this one here.
While going through it, there were indications
that it very likely never hit production..

Quoted from pinzrfun:Pinball Circus the vertical playing game, one of 2 or 3. Prob 20 years ago at Expo when new games were under 3k. I think it was Gene Cunninghams. Someone offered him 10k and he laughed.
2005 Pinball Expo. Steve Kordek's. He turned down a $50K offer for it.
Quoted from jp1985:I wonder how many of us have played the same Pinball Circus.
I'd say all of us. The one at Expo was at my Spring Pinball Circus 2006 and then in August was taken to the Pinball Hall of Fame.
As far as I know, the other known existing one ( missing the stainless steel helix ) has never been available to others to play. Owned by Nicastro of Williams.

Rumours also tell about a third machine in Germany.
It might be shipped to the German NOVA in Hamburg. NOVA was the general distributor. IPDB says, it was in Hamburg but send back, rumours say: Not send back , officially destroyed, still in a private collectors hand.
If it is in the collectors hand I guess, he has more than 700 machines in his collection and a "holy gameroom" were the Pinball Circus is expected.
Maybe one day we will now .....

I think you are correct . The guy who sells the playfield protectors in Germany his friend is a insane collector and I believe he has it. He also have other prototypes that had to be destroyed but still there…

etc...... (i'm sure there's many more) for being in the hobby for such a relatively short time i'm thankful for what i've seen and played. some of the private collectors who have been generous enough to share their treasures with me are beyond my ability to thank. those who've brought rare pins to shows also deserve a hearty pat on the back and a round on the house. in times where it's hard to find something to be positive about, these people have brightened at least one life
Got back from INDISC last week and they have some rare machines that I played.
