Best - Tron
Worst - Who Dunnit
Pinball Circus is the rarest. Have also played Kingpin.
Best: AFM (I get my ACDC BiB this weekend, so this may change soon)
Worst: basically every Gottlieb/Premier game. There are a couple of games that are just decent, and the rest are TERRIBLE.

Also, I thought it was interesting that the OP listed ToM as the best and WoF as the worst. I'm not saying it is the greatest game on earth, but I enjoy WoF a lot more than ToM. ToM was the only WPC game I have ever had that I wanted to get rid of within the first week.

Rarest:<Tied> Asteroid Annie and The Aliens (1980) or Night Moves Cocktail (1989)
Best: <Tied> Haunted House (1982) or Airbourne (1996)
Worst: Grand Lizard (1986)
Rarest: Wrecking Ball (pat lawlor hand made game) became banzai run
Second rarest : Capcom Kingpin
Best: ?
Worst: ?
Rarest game played/owned:
Mystery Castle, which is amazingly fun for a scary themed game
Best game:
Tough call, but I'd say right now my fave is Safe Cracker. It would have been amazing if Bally would have continued making token pins.
Worst game:
All pinballs are awesome, but I guess the worst playfield and creative executions I've come across would be the 2015 Stern Wrestlemania or Mustang. Just not for me. Too bright, and not very fun. Yet, I'd still play them
rarest played : BLY EM Star Ship (1)
rarest owned : BLY EM Fore (80)
Best : WMS EM Teachers Pet
Worst : BLY EM Circus/Big Show
Quoted from pinwiztom:Best : WMS EM Teachers Pet
For a guy with over 300 games, that's some pretty strong words there. But it is a great game by one of the best designers ever IMO.
Quoted from o-din:some pretty strong words there
Truthfully (Glen Peter's) Heat Wave is my current favorite, but Teacher's Pet has held that spot for a longer time.
Rarest: Kingpin
Best: AC/DC or Wizard of Oz
Worst: Orbitor 1 or Hercules (I was gonna say ALL Atari pins suck, but I remember having fun with 4x4) or Varkon
PS: Dungeons & Dragons and Grand Lizard on people's worst lists??!? You're breaking my heart!
Quoted from pinwiztom:i think they are only 1 or 2 of Atari 4X4
whereas Capcom Kingpin there were about 8or9
Ah, well I guess when I was responding to "rarest" I meant "cause I haven't played it". God bless places like The Pinball Hall of Fame, ReplayFX, Arcade Expo and The Pinball Wizard in NH for giving people a chance to check out such rare games!
Rarest: Gottlieb's "Critical Mass" --only 1 "prototype" in existence
Best: It's a toss up. My favorite game is whirlwind, but it's not necessarily "the best" game.
Worst: William's "Jubilee"
Quoted from bonanza:Rarest: Banzai Run
Best: LOTR hands down
Worst: A lot of just OK machines but Sopranos drives me insane. Give me the F'in Money, over and over and over and over
Sorry I had to down vote you
I f'ing love sopranos
