Just noticed this about TBL pinball machine ranking.
And before grabbing pitchforks, I will note that I saw that Caucasian2step provided one of the very high positive reviews/ratings. Most Pinsiders consider him credible concerning rating pinball machines.

Discuss.

Also, I see that WNBJM is now down to around 297. King Pin is also rated lower than I would have guessed.

What is the Pinside Top 100 List?

Didn't know if these were still taken seriously.

#3 7 years ago

Stating the obvious: With only 78 owners on pinside who have the machine and 4 places to play it on location in North America, I think it will be a while before it'll settle into a stable rating.

If I paid 10k for a pinball machine, I'd make believe it wasn't a snooze fest too.

Quoted from Msch:

I only only paid $8500.

However, with current code, I agree with your assessment. Game is basically a shiny rug weight for me at the moment.

Well it's either one of the best games ever made, or owners that paid a fortune want to feel good about their purchase, or a combination of both. Give it a few days for people hate rate it and it won't be up that high anyway. The rating don't mean anything anyway. I enjoy #297 just as much as I do #2.

The game needs code no doubt, but it is still a lot of fun as it sits. It is currently my Fave game to play while drinking.

I went to look at the #1 tonite. Restored with nice cleared original playfield. All there. I figured I'd play a game. Ball one would never end.

If Lebowski's even a little more challanging than that, I look forward to playing it.

What a joke. Obviously has to settle but man - speaking about TBL needing code, I think the top 100 list needs some major tweaking on how it calculates its data to create the list. Should be a minimum of 100 votes b4 any game can appear on the top 100 IMO, not 17...

I hope to get to play TBL in 2017.
Just checked game line-up on Texas Pinball Festival website, but so far TBL is not on the list.
I wonder if there will be 1 or more of these there (March 24-26, 2017).
I do see that Ed plans to have a Stern 2016 Batman '66 at TPF.

I really don't enjoy playing tbl and I could play it anytime I want at nitro amusements.

TBL's out?

I guess no one local to me has gotten one because I haven't heard a peep about it being seen outside of shows.

The game really ties my game room together!
