New and fresh doesn't necessarily equate to "best". I think longevity should play a huge role in these type of lists. (as well as nostalgia). Longevity criteria meets things that came out right before the end of pinball: (MM, TZ, ToM, CV, MB, etc). The majority of the top 25 are all new Stern games (which many would argue are by no means the best ever). I get that generational gaps (and nostalgia) play a role in these type of lists, but it is also why I find them pointless For example I disagree with probably 80% of it (that I've played). But I grew up in the toy generation so I would probably leave all the early SS and EM games off a list for that reason as I don't find them as long lasting and pretty sure the older folks would scoff at those being left off.

If you mean where the list came from, yes. I noticed this the other day and those numbers are averages based on number of votes and are for the most part...way tilted to newer games.

Edit: I was having this conversation with someone the other day. I do NOT like Addams Family. I never understood why it is so popular or continues to be so popular.
