What’s the best top 10 pins you’ve ever played?
This list includes the guys/gals that have made it to most/all shows in their state and have played a grand majority of the “top 100” on pinside. If you don’t wish to participate that’s ok. Not looking for negative feedback; just honesty 
Top10? It just doesn’t work that way.
There’s days when I’d like nothing more than to play a game of Godzilla.
Idk when I’m feeling down, I like to drag a baywatch out into the street, take the legs off, put it on a dirty piece of cardboard, and have my way with it.

Quoted from Pinballomatic:Target Pool you say

Hi, thanks for asking.
I see pinball a lot like a game of golf - its great if you can long-ball the driver all day long, but I've always felt the true test of a really good player is someone who can master every club. Same thinking as 'every type of pin.'
While the bulk of my collection is early 90s WMS, I also have a few GTB's from the 60s and 70s.
I find Target Pool to be a simple yet challenging game:
1. The centerfield triangle has slingshots on the TOP edges, which you have to use to carom the ball at a rounded arch of targets.
2. The game overall requires a fair amount of well-timed nudging (just like back in The Day).
3. Smaller-sized flippers and the typical punch they provided back then, make you 'goose' the ball into that upper arch.
4. It's a unique target environment overall. With LONG deadly outlanes.
5. When lit, like most older GTBs, it's a nice straight-forward art package to behold in today's era of LCDs and 'bling.'
6. It's been in the IPDB EM Top 10 for some time now too - and personally I feel it deserves it.
Again, my 2 cents.
Everyone's mileage may vary....

Thanks for that! Target Pool is my favorite EM and my favorite part of the game is the gong,gong,gong when you hit the 300 pt shots, especially when you can hit 2 or 3 of them in a row. Everytime I go to the Papa facility I will play about 20 games in a row on it. Only ever broke 10k one time, but what a rush!
