1) See my System 11 thread
2) See my Collection of "the best 6" System 11s -- imo.
3) See my Ratings
Diner > WW

A. Diner's theme locks you in better
B. Diner's theme execution is better
C. Diner's play is more challenging with the lower risk/reward drop targets
D. Any Ritchie > Lawlor
E. WW has too many "do nothing" shots. Diner has almost no "do nothing shots" -- those are those shots where nothing happens. No sounds, no scores, no action.
F. Did I mention I think Diner is the best pin ever?

Quoted from Gov:
Grand Lizard!

truth, on some days I think it's in the top-3 best S11's

This thread is an exposure thread.
Change the question to:
"Which System11 games have you played the most/least?"
WW has digital representation on many platforms, and it had decent production.
Diner, Grand Lizard, etc... people haven't seen as much.

It's the same old, "Which games have you played?" response, it's not truly a "Which is best?"
Not pointing fingers, just saying, Diner, Grand Lizard don't get a fair shake, since not everyone has been in front of one live or virtual.

Top4:

1. Diner
2. Whirlwind
3. Grand Lizard
4. Taxi

For me there's a drop off here and I'd need more play time on several titles to pick #5:
5. Mousin' Around / High Speed / Swords of Fury / Space Station / Rollergames

Off the list would be: BK2K, Pinbot, Jokerz!, Cyclone

Where does Transporter fall into the mix?
