Quoted from Daditude:

Let's cut to the thick:
GNR-latest game out, fantastic light show, all new bells and whistles. Needs code and some complain about too many multiballs
TZ-awesome game by a great designer. Lots of bells and whistles too...but it has aged and it's not as "shiny" as GNR. Will nostalgia win over?
---------
JP-a real players game. Very deep. A theme that resonates nostalgia and appeals to just about everyone. It doesn't have all the assets people would like and it is too difficult for most players to realistically see it all.
MM- one of the most flawless games ever made; theme, callouts, art, toys, etc. It can be repetitive and it certainly doesn't have the depth of modern games.
---------
AFM-nice game with lots of nostalgia. Good theme and fun callouts. Very good light show, and it rakes on route. Repetitive gameplay...once again..with rules that don't equal newer games.
Metallica-arguably the best rock pin ever. The music is great, the toys and lights how are incredible. Flow is amazing and it has that one more game appeal. There are a lot of rock pins, so it can get muddled in them. The art is not for some. Not really kid friendly.
--------
EHOH-great theme that has lots of followers. It is interesting, because it appeals to so many on many levels (Horror, sexuality, nostalgia, movies, etc). It has great flow, but also enjoyable shots. Some people, however, don't even know who she is or the history. It has been panned for lack of toys/bare playfield.
IJ-fantastic theme and music. Great theme integration and artwork. It just doesn't have the panache and depth of newer games.
-------------------------------
Let's not mince words: these are ALL great games.

Agree on all points. My easiest round to vote however.....

Nostalgia has nothing to do with it. These particular 90's games do more than just hold their weight in playability, fun factor, toys, build, on and on.....

They are simply great pins to play..period. I love new shineys, but this round of B/W's takes a back seat to none of them for a total pinball experience imho.....

Call it what you want but clocks winding down, AFM looking impressive again!

Quoted from SLAMT1LT:

TZ vs AFM and MM vs IJ next it seems. Then AFM vs MM for the final. And MM will win of course. Predictable from the start really. A good effort by the young 'uns though.

Yea, this round is already over....as it should be. My heartbreak comes next round as I really enjoy TZ more than AFM, however, strong chance it falls.

Maybe Op can jump in, but I think AFM won last year w some weirdness in one of the final 4 battles that MM was in.

This year, w the limited release of the Royal, it's the (safe) sword I lay on. Really think it is still deserving, and to offer it w great enhancements is just...well..."game over man" (homage to my early fallen Alien)..

Quoted from Eskaybee:

My bad, didn’t know all those people selling considered it the greatest game ever. I just thought they were cash grabs.
A lot of people on this site consider Jurassic Park the GOAT. I got both roughly around the same time and GNR smokes it. But that’s pinball, different strokes. If there was truly one greatest pinball ever made, wouldn’t we all own it?

What???

I enjoy this lighthearted comparison thread compared to the typical "A" vs "B" title which always turns ugly. Designed to emulate the NCAA Bracket stuff. Very minimal JJP/Stern/ whatever bashing, and just fun to participate in.

It's based on the Pinside top 100, so all the games are relevant to that. I would state that some nights, my TZ is more fun to play then POTC, ALIEN, or AIQLE. Easily a favorable matchup to any machine listed. Put in @compy's backboard mod, and I dare say the technology takes it to an even higher level.

Not big on Band Themed pins, so GnR may never stick with me....wasn't that long ago that AC/DC ruled the universe..until it was compared to some of these classics.

Grateful to be alive and an enthusiast w so many amazing machines to play...that's it. If you can't honestly acknowledge how timeless these games really are...well..I don't have an answer for you.....
