I am partial to Batter Up/Baseball. I like small flipper games with inlanes (there are very few), and this one nails the theme and art perfectly. Not a big fan of the other baseball games with no shooter lane (I don't like not having a plunger on an EM), and it doesn't really make much sense that big hit has an extra set of flippers and drop targets in the outfield.
Batter Up is simple, nails the theme, and the backglass animation is really cool as well.
Quoted from Darcy:Having played Big Hit at the PHoF, it does have that play it again feeling.
Partial to 1970 Baseball. 2 inch Flippers. Backglass animation. Also the first American pin with Star Roll Overs.
AND the rollovers are very cool in that they track baserunners like the backglass animation.
The only think I hate about this one is the Ball in PLay apron indicators which are always flickery and a pain to rebuild.
