Quoted from taz:Asking for only two best pins is like asking who someone's two favorite children are. I find that though my top five is stable, the games tend to move around within my top five over time depending upon my mood and what I'm playing most lately:
1 - IM
2 - Tron
Closing Fast! 3 - BM66
Honorable Mention: 4 & 5 - TWD & Sopranos
Nah not really. I would never ask anyone who their favorite kid is lol. Its just a fun discussion anyway and i wanted to see what peoples opinions were. I originally said my favorites are TWD and MET in that order but after playing alot of MET Premium, im seriously considering putting it in my #1 spot over TWD. Metallica is a total blast to play.
TWD is my favorite pin of all time. Can’t see ever getting rid of it. I have traded away Met, AC/DC, LOTR and thought they were good pins but I don’t really miss them. Would only get them back if it was a deal I couldn’t refuse. I currently have SM and Sopranos. Again, good pins but I would trade them if something else came along. So I guess I have yet to find my 2nd favorite Stern. But I really want to try GOT.
Lotr
Tron
(I am obviously biased as both are in my collection but for the reason I believe they are two of the best pins out there)
I would say it just depends on what day it is for me
TWD gets top vote but I play BM66 all the time now
I’ve owned LotrLe and SM, liked em and sold em
Same thing with AC/DC played it, liked it and now it’s gone
ASLE and GBLE are keepers right now
I really want a nice TSPP at some point
Way too many good ones to decide!
Lord of the Rings
Ripley's Believe It Or Not.
I can't see either of these ones ever leaving my collection.
Difficult question, but four games crowd the top of the heap. Themewise it depends on how you prefer spending your time. If you expect to play a lot of the game, you will become immersed in that little world. You should choose your pin partially based on what you want to be surrounded by. I like the Simpsons and Walking Dead and Lord of the Rings and Metallica so that helps focus my answers.
Stern's best pinball machines since 2000 (or before):
Quoted from mmuglia:IM is getting some love too...more than I thought it would.
IM is a sweet game. Id buy one if i could find a nice one at a good price probably.
Quoted from kermit24:I love how everyone is trying to turn this into a top 2 + 2 or top 5. Top 2 games since 2000 folks!
Lol yeah that is true! There’s quite a few good games out there and its hard to pick just two, but thats kind of the whole point of the thread. Its all good though, its still a fun thread. It kinda looks like LOTR or TSPP would be good Vault Editions though.
The best stern game is in the eye of the beholder.... personally wwe and ghostbusters for me. Love the themes

That's because when you really look at it stern has made a ton of killer games inspite of all the hate they get on pinside. No game is for everyone but most people are going to enjoy many of Stern's titles
Lotr
Tspp
Wpt
SM
Tron
IM
Met
ACDC
GB
TWD
AS
BM66
SW
Are all well rated and for the most part well liked. There's another 5-6 games in the next tier down that are also really fun.
Quoted from DrJoe:Most under-rated: WoF, Kiss (prem/le), Avatar
I agree with the other games in your post but the most underrated Stern's are probably Sharky's Shootout and Mustang. There is a lot of love for Kiss. Avatar and WOF are just weak sauce.
As of today I would go with and have:
Game of Thrones
Metallica
As soon as I think I like one better than the other I realize they are 2 different types of games that compliment each other nicely.
