Lord of the Rings- perfect theme implementation. A true journey to complete. Modes are all distinct. Awesome game. Tough to top.
Metallica- not a fan of the band, but the pin is incredible. Donny's art, and Borg's design with Lyman's rules. The Unholy Trinity of Pinball!!
ACDC- A near perfect pin. If the cannon didn't obscure the right orbit area, I think this would be a perfect machine. Ritchie flow with Lyman code depth... wow. The code here is all about scoring too, not modes. It's a very interesting take. I wish Donny had done the art for this one too.
