The roulette wheel in the PF on Millionaire. Just gets annoying after a while.

I dare to throw it out there because it's one of my favorite games, but the Mist Ball mech in BSD.

Very cool effect IMO, but an absolute monstrosity of a mech to make the ball travel across the playfield for what takes about 4 seconds. For those that haven't seen it, it looks like a piece of a Terminator strapped to the bottom of the playfield.

And I have yet to come across a quiet one. I've seen quite a few that were problematic for the owners, especially when it comes to the optos and gates.

Quoted from superJackpot:

But the 4 seconds are amazing! Miss your first shot at knocking the mist ball off its path and time goes even faster.
It's a complicated mech but the effect is impressive.

What's even better is when you whack the mist ball into play, but then your original ball grabs the magnet and goes into the gate.

Quoted from AlexSMendes:

I love BSD's mist ball - one of coolest pinball effects ever!

Yeah, post might have been misinterpreted. Definitely a VERY cool effect, and again, one of my fav games if not the most, so obviously wasn't bashing it. In hindsight, perhaps not exactly fitting here. Fits in with the "most complicated mech" part, but not really "the smallest effect" given that it can create multiball. I was thinking more of the timing that you get to hit it when I was thinking "small". The mech is monstrous though...pun intended.

It's different, but I actually like Pinball Circus. Played quite a few games at Pinfest a few years ago when one was there.

Quoted from Rascal_H:

I played the in in Vegas a bunch. It’s fun and very unique. I think overly complicated is kinda what he was going for.

Yeah, I was just commenting, and do agree on the complicated part. Not really sure why you got the downvotes given the subject of the thread.

I've never seen the inside of one or the mechs in person, but I would assume that they are complicated, or at the minimum, different than most "regular" pins.
