All have low production numbers and are considered highly collectable, and command truly staggering prices. "Good" is in the eye of the player, of course.
If you want to consider some other "top of the line" machines, the zenith is possibly games that have been gone over by Chris Hutchins at High End Pins:

It would be very hard to top anything from HEP.
They are works of art, as well as games.

I have played Hercules when it first came out and King Kong at David Silverman's house. I know about Krull, but Ihave no idea what the other pin is and cannot make out the name on the bg, JUMP something. Help, please.

Quoted from hank527:Mystery Castle is fun and inexpensive for what you get
Have to second that...Finally getting some play time on mine today, and I'm just marveling at the layout and the uniqueness of some of the shots. The reverse flow shot from lower right flipper through the loop to the upper left flipper and then back again is just genius. Shots through the drop targets into the shooter lane, another stroke of ingenuity.
I keep thinking to myself, that if this was a WMS game of this low production and this great of a design, it would be a 5 to 7K game easy. Much better than CC.
Ramp Warrior is the same game as Truck Stop. From what I can recall, when Williams acquired Bally they changed the theme on the game at the last second and very few Ramp Warriors were made.

Quoted from hank527:Wow
I'd love to play King Kong
I have played BBB and Kingpin
I think Kingpin is really fun and like the theme. Its kinda like a Whodunnit though slightly better
Mystery Castle is fun and inexpensive for what you get
that Ramp Warrior looks like High Speed meets Demo Man
Played BBB and KIngpin as well. Of the two I'd love a Kingpin. That's my grail pin.
I need to check out Mystery Castle on IPDB. It has been coming up a lot lately.
How many Krulls are there? Like seven or something?

EDIT: MC looks cool. Good comparison with W?D.
Great topic. Rare games are my thing, and there's a lot of cool ones out there.
2 of the best are Io Moon and Verne's World. They both have great sound packages and some really cool toys/features, and artwork.
I had an algar which is the game after gorgar not many made fun pin for an old machine the heartbeat gets you going
+1 on King Pin. I played that at pin a go go. It was way more fun than I expected. I kept going back to it again and again. That could have been the golden pin for cap com.

If you are talking "best" as in possibly fun to play I vote Joust. If you have two people that understand the game it is a blast to play, as a single player it sucks. Mine is always a huge hit when people are over. Not super rare as 6 or so a year come up for sale.
I've got a few rares in my collection as well. Spectrum is fun, Cosmic Gunfight will be the last game to leave my collection if I ever had to sell them all. BMX is pretty cool too. I've never played a Mystery Castle, actually have never seen one anywhere. Cyclopes is another fun rare game.
Quoted from CaptainNeo:Miss World. Rare and full of Tits. What's not to love?

Dude, he asked for the "best" rare titles. Not the "breast" rare titles.
Quoted from whoknowsgoi:Championship pub?
rare enough that you don't know its called "Champions Pub"
I think this should be called the "KoolAide thread" Just saying...How many of us have actually played "Krull" "KingKong" or even "Kingpin" to even make a opinion beside someone else telling you they are GREAT rare games...I think any pin under 2500 units is pretty darn rare....well compared to Addams Family or the Getaway....anyways....Drink up...OH YEAH! 
Quoted from Wickedquickss:rare enough that you don't know its called "Champions Pub"
Well, you're closer, but also wrong. Take off an "s", and add a "The". 
The full and correct name of the game is "The Champion Pub". Even though the "The" is often left out, it's right there on the backglass and cabinet...
i've played Krull and it's actually really fun for the era. Champion pub is NOT rare. If that's rare, my Orbitor 1 is really rare being production of 800.
Quoted from AdamTheGamer:Dude, he asked for the "best" rare titles. Not the "breast" rare titles.
Fine, then my vote goes to Pinball circus. Love it.
Quoted from dmesserly:Star Gazer
Don't know how rare it is, but I've never have seen one in person. Closest I've come to it is Pinmame version. Still want to see / play the real thing.
