Quoted from Bbismuth:Goin' Nuts and Qbert's Quest.
Those are two I've always wanted to play. I'm relatively fortunate though, lots of great machines on location near me... Such as:

Big Bang Bar and I have to say. I really wasn't that impressed considering it is perceived as a $20k game.

I came so close to buying a Time Machine recently. What a cool game!
I haven't played BBB but if it is like CC I think I will a little let down. I like Cactus but I guess it needs that code extension that seems to be unobtainable. Not sure after that. I really thought Q-bert was very interesting when I got the chance to play it. If anyone might want to or knows someone who would sell Q-bert please let me know. I would love to get that table.

Quoted from Pinballer22:Lazer Lord...hard to beat that
Whitewood Gamatron and Andromeda....Kinda there 
I was at TPF last year, so I played a lot of the rarities that others have mentioned. I'll add one that I haven't seen mentioned, although I don't remember the name.
Way back in '96, I was at Herb Silvers' Pinball Fantasy convention in Vegas. Tim Arnold supplied what seemed to be half of the machines there, and he usually had a little handwritten card on each one showing its spot in the production run (e.g. "123 of 2,000"). There was this one machine, a Gottlieb wedgehead, IIRC, that had a card bearing "1 of 0". It went on to explain that only the playfield had been produced (and maybe the backglass?), but not an actual machine. He actually created plastics, populated the playfield and built the mechanicals, making it into a playable machine.
I think that's pretty rare.

Sounds like TKO, a bunch of them have been found since. http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=4599&picno=38492&zoom=1

Quoted from GravitaR:I got to play a Predator years back. Guess that qualifies as the rarest game I've played.
Good point. Predator for me as well.
Quoted from Darcy:1981 Stern Viper. 438 produced. Have played 2 of them, Love the Chrome art work.
Artwork is phenomenal, not the best playing game. I wish they would repo the backglass.

Quoted from mbaumle:Gottlieb's Critical Mass
I finally got to play the whitewood this year. Definitely the rarest pin I've played.
I've played Big Bang Bar quite a few times, own Bride of Pinbot 2.0, and played Predator and Magic Girl (played is pushing it) at two different Northwest Pinball & Arcade Shows. Played lots of one off home brew games at shows too.
Pat lawlors Wrecking Ball. 1 of 1 I'm probably the only person to see it in the last 20 years too. Pics up in ipdb.org
So many have been mentioned that ive played before, so ill go with one we own:
Bally 'Slap Stick' EM - 85 produced (And we own serial number 1 of 85)
It was at the last couple Ohio and CLE shows. We like to share our games, so it should be at one or the other again this coming year.
I got to play Kingpin and Big Bang Bar (with payout!) at the home of a guy outside of baltimore who has a pretty amazing collection, in a beautiful Japanese dojo outbuilding. That was a good day.

Got to put some time on Punchy the Clown @ SFGE over the weekend ,it surprised me in that it actually has a bunch of shots....... & Punchy told me I was a good kid 
thanks to whomever it was that brought it
Richie Rich.
Then the owner tried to sell it to me for the price of an actual bar of gold.
I laughed and kindly waved the deal off.
Loch Ness Monster.
The owner would not sell it for the cost of bar of gold, even though I tried.
My consolation prize was a spare extra backglass.
Added over 7 years ago: For those enthusiasts that are unaware, only one of each game title exist in the world.
There is no possibility of ever playing another.

Mushroom World is also another underrated game, and Punchy's brother, but a bit easier to find.
Bell Ringer and Bullseye don't count, as they are both redemptions.

A 1 of a kind one (confirmed), Sega's Mini Viper!
It was here in the Netherlands at the Dutch Pinball Open a few years ago!
Also played on Medieval Castle, a custom game (and unique) using Medieval Madness software.
Brighton
the rarest one I ever played I actually own - but it is definitely not much sought after.
My Full Throttle LE with Andrew Heighway's personal prototype chrome armor. I would expect the Number of Full Throttle LEs to be in the single digits total.
Wizard Blocks, Krull, Wild Horse Saloon, Golden Cue and King Kong at a private collection in California a few years ago.
Quoted from pinskull:I would love to get my hands on that custom rush
Me too, and I have two sons named Neil and Alex.
BBB
