IT goes like this:
1. Whirlwind
2. Mousin'
3. Taxi
There are so many things that were revolutionary about these games, they pushed pinball towards creating modes, different types of multi ball in the same game, wizard modes, and pushed rules to a point where they essentially still sit today.
The correct balance of complexity and approachability comes together in these system 11 titles so magically. As far as complex and competitive 4 player machines, these 3 were at the top when they were new. Both WW and MA had a good compromise for addressing the stealing of locks and the standard jackpot fix on Taxi really makes it a lot better 4 player game.
