Too many great games to pick just one and the best ones are not on your list.
I would say just collect them all if you have the room.

the best ones are not on my list? lol i had a hard time picking just 9, maybe i choose the ones i know best
Flash is a tough call because it’s a toss-up between that and Paragon (1979.)
Black Knight is a tough call because of Firepower (which you didn’t list – 1980.)
F-14 had no real competition in 1987.
T2 is a tough call because of BoP (1991.)
HS2 is a tough call because of Addams Family (1992.)
STTNG is a tough call because of TZ (1993.)
No Fear is a non-starter – there are too many other games better in 1995 – ToM, AFM, PM, Congo, even Stargate.
Spider Man is arguably better than FG & certainly better than WoF (2007.)
And is AC/DC better than X-Men (2012?)
For what you listed, I voted F-14.
If you had Firepower there I would have voted for that.
Second choice is a toss up between Flash and SM. The competition in 1979 was stiffer...

This poll is a sham. World Poker Tour blows them all away, altho Getaway and BK were good for their time.
this is interesting cuzz so far AC/DC is wining.
a game designer with a more than 30 year career, full of successes and great games, makes a game (AC/DC) that beats em all. It's outstanding to look at this man's career!
Honestly, if you have awareness of what came just before and after it, Black Knight was an extremely important, influential, and successful game. For that reason it gets my vote ( best for its time ).
My personal favourite is probably STTNG, but what few games I've had on ACDC were pretty awesome, and I've never played SM.
Quoted from RobKnapp:STTNG for sure!!
The Nerd police are looking for this house : )
Quoted from PinballHelp:Invalid poll. You left out Rollergames.
Some of the best get no love.
AC/DC isn't even close to the best, just the newest.
The best is yet to come and won't it be fine, you've seen the sun but you ain't seen it shine.
It would be slightly easier if you broke this up into eras or systems. Even then, it would be so difficult. F-14 vs. High Speed. Firepower vs. BlackKnight. AC/DC vs. Spider-Man. Etc, etc, etc.
For the year it was made I'd have to say Black Knight... I think the sales speak for themselves... It was a game-changer: Split level, Magna-save, timed drop targets (maybe that one was done before...?). BK2K was just a re-hash of this and IMO not as satisfying to play... and that was years later!

Don't forget if you coined it up for 2 plays you got the free battle the knight mode.
This was brilliant and really increased the coin drop for ops.
Single players would play a 2 player game to get this.
