    Quoted from NC_Pin:

    I mean… how can a Top 100 not be a popularity contest? It is a subjective ranking.
    Also… I am not sure why we would need additional groupings. I think EM/SS covers it pretty well. The difference between an EM and an Ss is pretty fundamental- they are way more different than a game like High Speed versus an LCD game.

    I disagree, very tight rom considerations on each iteration of SS tech. This limits potential rule depth.

    Sounds range from initial chime representations, to sampled audio, but again extremely limited in channels and rom capacity.

    Alphanumeric animations were wonderful, but hugely limited in what is possible to convey with DMD... and then again to LCD.

    Look at the EM - SS cross over games.. although the underlying tech was different, the game capabilities were mostly the same... so to then have those same games lumped in with DMD and later games seems immense?

    *** Anyway, I agree it is a subjective rating anyway.

    Quoted from altan:

    I've got my issues with the Top 100 just like most. However, I strongly believe that a pin with an LCD screen is in no way inherently better than a pin without an LCD screen. Some LCD games are better than non-LCD, some non-LCD games are better than LCD. IMHO that's just not an appropriate way to categorize.
    If I could wave a magic wand and have Pinside make just one change to the Top 100, it would be to ignore anyone who has given perfect 10s when calculating the Top 100.

    Sounds like you want:
