IM is my favorite game, but I think that JP wins as my favorite in my collection for the overall story behind me getting it, as well as the fact that it was the game that I first learned to love to play pinball on, and perhaps more importantly was the machine that made my say, "One day, I'm going to own a bunch of these."
As a car guy, I love High Speed II: The Getaway. The sounds and experience playing it really manage to cross over from mere pinball and conjure up fantastic imagery of driving an exotic sports car with impunity for law and decency, which makes for a very fun theme.
I seem to stand alone among my friends on this one, but Baby Pac-man is one of my favorites too, since I love the age-old challenge that is Pac-man, especially combined with pinball. It is a challenging game though, so the majority of people seem to find it frustrating.
Quoted from pinmister:I can see that you and your husband love Tron. I see like Ten Trons on your wishlist. Heres what I can do for you. I have a NIB Tron coming next week. I will take that old crappy Cactus Canyon off your hands and give you my new Tron-what do you say-do we have a deal?
Sorry pinsmister, as you can see im a little on the older side and im not to computer literate, if it doesn't have balls of steel I perfer not to get to friendly with it 
I was trying to add my collection to mypinside and got confused. I only have one Tron pro and that is all I need thank you for the offer though.
Quoted from Darlene:They do now. It was like, "if you buy them, they will come." My one brother & my brother-in-law are now both looking to buy their first pins.
AWESOME!! I just ordered Avengers LE! I cant wait for it to come in. Keep me updated on what they end up buying!

My Brother is looking at South Park because his soon to be wife likes the show, they have never even played it. Not my way of picking a pin to buy. But my brother-in-law does not have to funds yet, so he is really looking into which pin he wants to buy. He goes down to the Silverball Museum with us to play different pins & reserches online. I believe his choice will be a better one.
Quoted from jar155:It was a gorgeous machine
That is a beautiful pin. What is the main difference between this and Pinbot? Looks almost like the identical game.

rules. you lock two balls in the eyes to start multi and then the two eyes, the saucer, under the ramp and the shot that advances planets on pinbot turn into "jackbots". There are also gambling elements where you can double or nothing your points for a given shot by hitting another shot. blahblahblah = read the rulesheet.

I like that idea and yeah I guess I could.

No offense meant. I'm just not good at explaining things.

None taken, Dave. I was just looking for the main difference, since it isn't apparent at first glance.
It's been White Water for me since the 90s but I admit that I have a strange obsession with the game. I don't know what it is about it but I think it has something to do with how the artwork/plastics/ramps integrate with the functionality. It's moderately deep but not too deep so it's approachable by pretty much anybody. The music is the other thing. I like how it picks up and intensifies as you move up the raft levels.
I'm a huge Monster Bash fan as well.
