Apollo 13
Batman Forever
Baywatch
Godzilla
GoldenEye
Golden Cue
Harley Davidson
Independence Day
Lost in Space
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein
Maverick
South Park
Space Jam
Star Wars Trilogy
Starship Troopers
The Lost World: Jurassic Park
The X-Files
Twister
Viper Night Drivin'

The above is an impressive list of great games. Sega produced some sweet titles. Which one is the best?

I'd do a poll but there are too many to consider.

I'm going with Star Ship Troopers but Godzilla and Apollo 13 are both also awesome.

Id say goldeneye and starship troopers.

I love xfiles, but would not say its the best from a somewhat objective point of view.

Baywatch has really good shots and ruleset if you can get past the Hoff.
BF was very difficult and I could not stand the "Riddle Me This" quote.
SST is very fun (for me) and probably the one I would like to own the most.

I forgot Baywatch. That's a really great game.

Viper Night Drivin' is the only SEGA I've sold because I really disliked it. It's pretty bad.

SST is a great game. I do enjoy Frankenstein and Lost In Space though I wish LIS had a deeper ruleset.

BW hate the artwork and theme doesn't do much for me but fun game
Maverick-fun rule set and game if you don't mind the paddlewheel slowing things a bit.
BF fun game that does sometimes get compared to ST:TNG
Apollo 13 I love psace and space travel themes and gameplay on this. If I owned it would probably not have it set up for the 13 ball multiball except for guests, but fun a few times to do that.

I'm stunned to see the love Baywatch gets. I think it was the theme and art package that probably made me prejudge it too harshly. I will need to reconsider it and put more time on one.

And BW made the best use of Sega's oversized DMD (with BF placing second).

Goldeneye is easily my favourite SEGA satellite and magnet save are both awesome toys and the modes are great imo.

Baywatch shoots great just the theme and sound package kills it - would make an awesome pin to retheme - I've considered retheming one as maybe Total Recall?!?

SST like the movie a fun guilty pleasure!

Twister is also kinda fun it's just that repetitive sound clip arghh!

Never played ID4 but heard decent things about it.

I've only played about half of them, but of the ones I have played, I'd have to say Baywatch is the best. The theme and dots are lacking for me, but it has some very well thought out flow. To get the biggest points you need to shoot every part of the playfield and you need to have a plan on where you are going to shoot next.

Just picked up my first Sega, Godzilla. I have to say this is a pretty good game if you like multiball play. I like Baywatch and to a lesser extent SST. I've been tainted by SST slightly because of a bad example on location years back.

Batman Forever ranks fairly high here on Pinside, amongst the Sega pins. It still holds it's value around $2500-3000. I really enjoyed it when I had it in my collection. Pretty looking pin too.

The other excellent Sega game is Baywatch, great playing game with lots of cool ramps. If the theme, art and sound/music all better, this game would rank so much higher. Very underrated pin.

I have (and had) many sega games! My favorite is sst , also my favorite movie.
Baywatch is a close second , having shopped one completely I must say I even like the art
Great game and sounds!

Id4 and lis look great but are to shallow for me to keep. Really wished they had more dept in them.

Hope to find a godzilla one day just to play.

Greetings,

Bas

My appreciation of this title is steadily improving. I first played only a routed example but now that I've played two good ones I see how good this game actually is. I need to revisit my ranking on the title again.

Baywatch is #1 easily. A13 and Maverick are close second. Lost, Mary and Frank get 3rd place. The remaining ones are not bad if the coin door said, "5 cents".
