Big Indian on both. It’s been in the collection the longest time, and I play it nearly every day.
Added over 2 years ago:EDIT: Actually it’s been in the collection the second-longest, but I’ve still played it the most.

Abra Ca Dabra, by a mile, played it heavily in the arcade in my younger years and have owned one since 1984.
Fun-Fest had in basement from age 8 to 20 by a few thousand games.
IJ had at bowling alley where I was in league for a few years second.
I am unsure how many plays were on Hi Deal when my parents bought it for me, but after owning it for over 40 years, even with the limited play it gets after becoming a minor collector, it will always be my most played game. It is hard to believe that I have had STTNG for over 5 years and I never knew the spark that it could create. The 6 I now have will be in my collection until they are done with me.

The game I've played the most is likely monster bash or paragon.
The longest ball time is hard to say. I've had some real nice runs. I'm going to guess LOTR, TFTC, or maybe big guns.
Fun fact: TFTC was one of the games I owned the shortest time because I completely DESTROYED it shortly after owning it. I don't recall the score, but It was in the billions. Maybe something just jived with me, or perhaps my playing style is just geared towards that pin. I'm not sure. After crushing it, however, the luster was lost.
Without a doubt TAF, but I have never owned it. I worked fast food in high school and the c-mart in Topeka had one in the store. After closing, we hang out and play it for hours, usually until the sun came up. It was one of the best summers in my life and it is what hooked me on pinball. I don’t think I will ever own one, I know all of its secrets; it will never live up to that summer. I still drop coin whenever I see one.
Creature from the Black Lagoon and it's not even close

I did piss some people off at TPF a couple of years ago when oktoberfest was released and available for play on a "play once" line. I waited for about 15 people...all of which played all three balls in under 5 minutes. I played for about 45 minutes. The line was CONSIDERABLY longer when I finished, and there were numerous groans while I was playing. Of course, they could just become better players....bwahahahahaha!
Desert Island game. Monster Bash.
20190608_184308 (resized).jpgAFM on both - owned it for years.
Creature from the Black Lagoon or Batman 66.
At one time Riverboat Gambler or Dr Who would have been in the lead.
Unknown City
Brighton
EBD by a mile...played it a ton in college, then bought one in 1984 and have owned it ever since. Still play it everyday.
Surrey, BC
Fish Tales. Still my favorite game to this day.
Someone mentioned Sinbad. I had forgotten about that one somehow. I owned one for a long while and played many excruciatingly short games on it. Not to mention there were a few unlimited qualifying tournaments where I know that I played at least 50 games on Sinbad trying to get a decent score! That game could very well be the one game I have pushed the Start button on more than any others.
Someone else mentioned Black Hole. I played that a TON at my college bar during the two years the game was there and now I own one, so that game could come into the equation in a few more years of ownership.
Funhouse. Practically lived at the bar in Phoenix when it was new.
Many years later, wifeypoo got me one for Xmas in 2008, which rekindled my pinball obsession!
Which is why it's bolted to the floor, as she was taken from me in a tragic freeway accident in 2010. (Custom display message: Dedicated to Karen)
In the ensuing years, there were many stretches of time where I felt compelled to make sure I made Rudy scream at least once a day.
(However, at the rate I'm playing Rick & Morty, it may eventually take the prize... it is so freaking fun!)
The Getaway High Speed II! Got it from a bar in Covington KY and never looked back. Hitting the supercharger and freeway loops is such a thrill even after a ton of plays!
For me it has to be Gtb Spiderman. I've owned it for well over 30 years (my first pin)
and my wife and I still play it almost daily. Close behind are Black Hole and Sinbad.
Game play on these never got old for us. Have newer pins too but they don't get
played as much.
1. Doctor Who (and it’s not close)

Interesting with your extensive collection this is easily number 1. I have a lot of games on mine comparatively as well. It must be the draw of hitting those Sonic Booms. Which reminds me I need to get my powered subwoofer connected back to Dr Who. No game I have had that I enjoy the external sub on

Go Tigers!

Inner stat geek in me wants that spreadsheet template That's pretty cool.
The most times played has to go to Fathom due to owning it for over 30 years and loving it that long. But in another 20 years it may have been surpassed by Paragon or Stern Rolling Stones, (I know, I know). Longest game played has to be LOTR but I had a really long game on EATPM. It was so long that I drained the last ball because I got bored, couldn't miss the ramp no matter how hard I tried.

It’s duration of ownership. I opened it NIB back when it was released and it was my only machine for 15 years. Great game.
Gottlieb Spider-Man, which I’ve owned for 20 plus years- love my Spidey.
Quoted from fathom:or Stern Rolling Stones, (I know, I know).
No apology needed ...big Mick On A Stick fan here - had mine 5 years and still play it a lot. Haters gonna hate but its fast, furious fun with a decent level of challenge.
