Quoted from beelzeboob:ST was beating out GnR until the last few hours. Nothing fishy there...
Did GNR steal that one?
Quoted from Bublehead:Hey, IJ beating out MB just means people like Harrison Ford as Indy more than they like Universal Monsters. But lets face it, IJ is a nightmare to keep working 100% compared to keeping a MB running. POA was almost universally broken back in the day. Now that they are all collectors pieces, owners go to great lengths to keep it working and so most owners will tell you, the physical ball lock, the movable player controlled mini playfield, the theme, the callouts... blah blah yada yada are way better than yada yada and only a fool would vote for MB, the callouts are corny, its just AFM without a saucer. Yet CGC sold a whole bunch of the remakes, and nobody is remaking IJ any time soon. Just saying...
Have my IJ now over 5 years never had an issue! PLaying it a lot, The machine is just plain fun. I played monster Bash a lot, got bored. Sorry. Also Art on IJ is way better. So we do agree to disagree here. IJ for the win
GNR is to recent for this list. It is a great machine, needs more plays by all of us. That why it is loosing so bad from TZ. TZ is a solid machine, great theme and rules, but I think nowhere near JJP GNR. That is just such a rush. But then again you all need to play that title.
MM winning over JP I can understand. MM is better to shoot, JP is a difficult machines. Lots of rules. MM has great call outs, theme, toys.
AFM over MET. I can understand that if you like the metalica music you do not agree with this one.
IJ over EHOH - I said that before, kill my darlings. Both great machines. Elvira the better playing machine. I think also for this one is that EHOH is to recent with final code getting better and better. IJ is just out there so much longer.
I think it would be better next time to put machines from an era against their own era. Not mixing all in one bag. Modern machines and recent machines need time to grow and be played before we can evalute it correct.
