Taxi, Diner, Earthshaker, and Bad Cats are my favorite System 11 games.
I own all but Taxi, at least right now.
I love Cyclone, but I used to play it back in the day at arcades. All though's games are good games so there's very little between them.
Tough call. I own a High Speed and a Pinbot and love them both.
High Speed would fill the need for some fast flowiness in your lineup, but might be similar to Whirlwind (3-flippers, crucial side-ramp shot). Even still, HS has almost nothing to slow the flow. I dont think ill ever get rid of mine.
Pinbot is a deceptively deep game that's unlike anything else with some reallllly great sounds. I used to hate it, thinking it was cheap and more of a "carnival game" than a legitimate game...but then I figured it out . Once you start shooting for the planets/ramp and forget locking eyeballs, its like going on a quest through the solar system. Awesome game!
That said, if you like ramps, Taxi's fantastic. It's fighting with BK2K for my next.
I voted for Pinbot, but High Speed is a close second in my mind. Taxi is the newest of those (and the only one with 8-digit scoring) but I never have liked it as much as other people do-- maybe it's because the ones I've played had a tendency to center-drain when the ball came out of the pop bumper area around either side of the Lola/Marilyn droptargets.
