Quoted from iceman44:

Not for me, it's the best flow pin I've ever played. And dropping to #11 behind a few of those other ranked above it, no way! It's becoming unloved and forgotten.
I stopped by Pinballz south on my way back from Austin yesterday and got to play the STLE again and sorry, but it's not even close. Bling it up, sure, play it, no wow factor for me, the mashed up tinfoil and Enterprise shot, over and over again, is disappointing.
I'll take Sandman, Venom and Doc Ock all day, every day.

SM is the best all around game Stern ever produced.

Quoted from iceman44:

Every time I play it, that's the feeling I'm left with, "best all around", and I own Lotr and Ac/dc
The ramp shots are butter smooth and the fastest flowing of any ramps.
The other thing that makes SM great is when you are in multi ball mode it's like no other when you get the ramp combos, loops, center shot, venom and Ock all going at once.
The shots feel like the perfect prototype pinball machine for me.

Yes. It doesn't have the best sound ever or best art or best toys or best theme, etc...but as a total package it is Stern's best.

Wrath of Olympus is the new king of flow. Sorry guys, but SM is not even in the same league, esp due to the limited number of shots.

LOL!

Why?
Tron has excellent flow. There's nothing remotely wrong at all with mentioning Tron as one of the best flowing pins.
The only thing that ever stops the ball on Tron is the scoop.

And left loop to pops...

Not really.
The ball never stays in the pops on Tron more than a few seconds. And more often than not, the ball just goes straight through them and SDTM!

A couple of seconds = broken flow IMO. Same time as hitting the scoop and double flipping to get it back.
