If you play a half a dozen plays of Baywatch, I believe you will have a hard time disagreeing with it being a HIGHLY underrated game.

Tons of great shots. Deep rule set including wizard modes for each character, crazy multi ball, shark flipper self flipping, largest DMD display to be put on games including really ingenious video modes. The theme is what gets people hung up.

My wife, who hated the theme when I brought it home because of the theme, now says if she could only keep two games in our collection, Baywatch would be one of them. My collection is: FH, RS, TS, TZ, W?D, Baby PacMan, Wipeout, Party Zone & Haunted House and of course Baywatch!

Quoted from Jackalwere:

Overrated:
Theatre of Magic
Circus Voltaire
Medieval Madness (top 20 game but not best ever)
Willy Wonka
Guns N Roses (Data East)
Road Show
Centaur
Fathom
Diner
Black Knight 2000
Transformers
Underrated:
CSI
Goldeneye
Elvis
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein
Waterworld
Baywatch
Catacomb
Mystic
Medusa
Stars
Space Shuttle (it gets love but should be higher)
Munsters
BTW I think Junkyard is trash, I kept Popeye over JY when I decided to sell a pin, the only pin I've sold in 16 years. I'd say Popeye's underrated but I understand the theme isn't for everyone. Fairly deep ruleset for it's time with great DMD animations.

I don’t care for Popeye Predominantly because the upper playfield obstructing the lower and almost all become cloudy and impossible to effectively see. I love the theme.

Disagree with you on RoadShow, love the goal of going across the country to visit all the cities and the different mini games for each.

MM is a great game for people who don’t play a lot of pinball. Busting down the castle is easy and your average low attention span player feels like they can do it. I think that’s why people like it.
