Quoted from RTR:I will add a poll if you guys make some suggestions besides DH.
Go ahead, add a poll.
I have both Dirty Harry and STTNG and many other multi-ball games. Vote goes to Fireball because there is no ball save or no re-start feature. Only a spinning disc in the middle of the playfield that usually grabs at least one of the balls and throws it to one of the gaping outlanes or SDTM as soon as multiball starts. Once in a while I can keep it going.
As far as DMDs is concerned Break Shot also has no ball save or restart and can drop all three balls SDTM as soon as multiball starts.
Sana'a
Sometimes I have very short multiballs on Street Fighter 2. It is only a 2-ball multiball to begin with, and there is no ball saver on it, so often it does not take long at all. If you can make a few shots in multiball, however, it does reward you fairly well.
Non multiball I would vote scuba and happy clown I played them recently at the expo and they are brutal.
Kiel
I vote Monday Night Football. Brutally hard because once it starts you have about 10 seconds to hit the super jackpot and my nerves mess it up most times.
Quoted from swampfire:Any game with a multiball ball-saver should be disqualified. Half of my multiballs on Andromeda last about 1/2 second, because the shot to start MB kicks the ball out the right outlane.
If it were not for ball save, I would have no balls at all. 
I've had my Laser War for a year now, and for whatever reason, I rarely even get to play 2-ball multi-ball. Usually as soon as the second ball goes into play, it or the other ball goes down the center right off the bat. (I'm not a shaker.)
But boy, a few weeks ago, I finally got all 3 balls in play, and my heart was pounding the entire time. 
I'd go with Black Hole. One of the hardest to start and when you do finally start it it doesn't seem to last long, especially if you don't open the gate by hitting the drops on the lower playfield.
Creature can end quick but you always have the snackbar.
I've always had a hard time with Whirlwind and Bride.
Quoted from tilt-master:Dr dude
+1. Can literally be over before it starts if the ball comes out of the pops SDTM.
Quoted from RTR:lots of games mentioned I haven't yet played. Fireball being the main one!
Here is a short vid I found of Fireball. He starts multi-ball three times in this video and it will give you some idea what you are up against.
Multiballs are quick on Fireball, but quick multiballs don't really hurt scoring too much. The big points come from locking a ball and getting another shot at the plunger skill shot. More big points come when the balls are kicked out as multiball starts. During multiball, there's really not a whole lot of scoring to do...
Quoted from mot:During multiball, there's really not a whole lot of scoring to do...
I know it is more advantageous scoring wise to hit the Wotan lane and get those points, but releasing Odin while the moving bonus is on 5000 points is a most satisfying shot.
black hole - Takes forever to start and you blink and it's over or you don't hit all the lower playfield targets and it drains away. I hate that game.
Demolition Man and Judge Dredd. Most of the times the extra balls aren't helping and are just in the way of each other.
My Genesis seems to beat me up pretty good with the multi-balls but I can hang a little bit with my Dr. Who!

Wow - cool video o-din. I have never even seen a Fireball before I guess. No ball save and no in-lanes either!!! Brutal.
Upper Hutt
Dr Dude's 2-ball is usually super short. Which is made all the more frustrating given the amount of work required to get there.

I sometimes see mine in my nightmares. 
Just kidding! It is a lot of fun and I have other machines that are even bigger drain monsters.
