That Farfalla machine...
There really hasn't been any great playfield art in the recent millenium. Mostly cut and paste or lousy ripoffs of others styles.
And with older games prior to the 90s there are too many to choose from, so I may sit this voting out. Although Big Daddy is still one of my favorites that I do own.
Doesn't matter anyway as you've linked the voting to some other half ass website that I have no desire to give personal information to or sign up for anyway.
I have no single favorite, but some contenders:
Theater of Magic
Genie
Centaur
Metallica
Bad Cats
Grand Lizard
Medusa
Zombie Yeti has put out some nice stuff. Stuff from the late 70- early 80s has been great too. too many to choose from!
Quoted from gliebig:SUPREME
How could I forget about Supreme! Way better art package than most of the garbage that's come out lately.
It's just that I don't own one, and apparently am not wealthy enough to do so.

Then have we got another game just for you!

As far as Poker Playing Alien themes go this is defiantly the best looking one. Sorry Alien Poker, you play great but look awful.
Melbourne
Quoted from gunstarhero:Creature from the Black Lagoon!
Classic cars, chicks in swimsuits, and the Creech himself.
Definitely one of the best backglasses for sure.

Agree o-din it would be great if
pin2d could use something other than google accounts to do votes, like you I would like to participate but don’t want to sign up to yet another site/account
pin2d wouldn’t pinside polls work just as well or not?
It's hard for me to pick a favorite but two that come to mind are iron maiden and Mary Shelly's Frankenstein.
WNBJM
even when the game is off it is just so damn pretty

Yeah, I hear you Odin and @j85m, it isn't a perfect voting system. The logic for using google forms is that I run into a lot of people on Facebook and Twitter and on TWIP that don't have Pinside accounts (or don't actively participate in Pinside forums), so I'm trying to include as many in the hobby as possible for the votes.
I tried Survey Monkey in the past but it turned very expensive once you get over a certain number of votes (I think 1000?).
It seems like a higher percentage of pinball hobbyists have google accounts vs those that actively participate on Pinside, or at least the ones that are interested in voting (if that makes sense). At least that is kind of the rational behind using Google forms.

Thanks for the response man, love the website, I remember when you first started this up it was good then but it’s great now, you have developed it into a must read each week.
Maybe I’ll sign up to google and sign Odin up while I’m at it

You are already using WP Polls on TWIP, why not use it for all your polls? Or another WP plugin if that one doesn't do the trick?

Well, the truth is you keep starting these contests on pinside which itself has it's own polling feature, so I'm sure I'm not alone when I see VOTE HERE in the title of the thread as a little misleading and then there are no choices to vote from.
So we don't really know if you are using our input into the choices or if you have just randomly picked a few you like and then basically decide for yourself what goes in the poll that we can't see anyway.
It kind of makes the whole venture useless and pointless, and wherever you do post the results an insignificant publication.
I honestly don't really care and will try not to be baited into opening another one of these threads again. Just trying to show you how it looks to the average user here if you are trying to take it or yourself seriously.
Quoted from Thrillhouse:The mad scientist in me always loved the art on Strange Science's pf. Alot going on and very campy.
Probably the best playfield artwork of all the 6803 games.

Thanks for the thoughts @o-din, I get what you're saying. I'm just trying to not limit the votes to only those that frequent Pinside. By using the google forms, I lose out on the people that don't have a Google account, but I can include the people that frequent Pinside plus the people that frequent Facebook or Twitter or This Week in Pinball.
Quoted from o-din:Google, facebook, and twitter. Where the people in pinball that matter hang out.
Plenty of pinheads don’t visit and use Pinside.
pin2d is it possible for you to duplicate the polls on Pinside, for those without google accounts that would like to participate in TWIP each week?
Obviously I appreciate that probably leads to a little more work your end, so I can appreciate if that’s your reasoning for not already doing so.
