Hi there,
I propose you to rank your top 3.
Artwork, colors, theme...what is your top 3 and why you love them?
To be honest, these games do not come from my favorite pinball era by far but I recognize that some of them are real piece of art.
I can’t say they are my top 3 as I know few pinball of these era but I find them really beautiful
Fathom (Bally)
Gorgar (Williams)
Viper (stern)
Black Knight - Tony Ramunni
Strange World - Gordon Morrison
Mata Hari - Dave Christensen
My top 3 artists, and best of each IMHO.
Quoted from TheLaw:Centaur
Catacomb
Gemini
But for sheer beauty that chic on Moon flight is hard to beat
Wow Gemini is really nice. I like these backglass with yellow, orange, red colors background
Quoted from KozMckPinball:Translites ok?
Medieval Madness
Indiana Jones
Ghostbusters
Only backglass.
Another ones that are beautiful in my book:
Papillon
Earth wind fire
Médusa
Mr. Black
Black Knight
Swords of Fury (if the mirrored CPR version counts...if not, perhaps Fathom or Lost World)
Quoted from UFO:Strikes and spares (boobs)
Xenon (boobs)
Playboy (boobs)
My 3 favourite, and why.
Yeah..all about boobs..
Aladdin’s castle
Sexy girl
Stargazer...
Up! 
I think there are 2 main criteria to get a beautiful backglass: graphic art and lighting.
Effectively some bg could have a great looking but « badly » lightened, most of the time because of the choice of opaque areas like Phoenix, space race,..
On the contrary, some bg become masterpiece when they are perfectly illuminated like for example the Close encounters.
What are your thoughts?
