I have seen some great topics of favorite games, combos, top 5 of this and that, but I am really enjoying owning and playing my Iron Man, ACDC Premium and Star Trek Pro lately. I am thinking that this could be my Holy Trinity of Pinball!

What 3 games go best with your style of play? The three games that differ enough to keep you satified for years. The last three to leave your gameroom or the the top three on your wish list!

I wanted to start this thread because well, maybe a perfect pair is not enough and Holy Trinity is an awesome title for your top 3 of anything.

Love to hear other pinheads talk about what they enjoy most. Thanks!

I need 3 games to have a trinity. All i have is St pro and TWDle but I don't think I could sell either one. If GoT comes out. That would get me to 3

Not necessarily my three favorites, but it is really nice to have the three great 1993 Williams widebodies sitting in a row: IJ, TZ and STTNG.

I am glad ST was not part of your Trinity.

Hmm. I've got my collection to the point where I'm pretty happy with most games. It's getting harder to give things up. But if I had to pick a trilogy right now I might have to say Metallica, Tron, and Flash Gordon. Hard to get tired of any of those I've found. But I'm playing a lot of ACDC and White Water right now too.

LOTR, IJ and DESW. The trilogy of trilogies.

Well, there's now more than 3 SW and IJ movies but there's only 3 of both in my heart.

ACDC, F-14, and High Roller Casino maybe?

Perhaps put Metallica and World Poker Tour in there, I'm not sure. Also recently I've been playing Kiss most and have really been enjoying it. Too many good games.

Two birds with one stone. Well played Wspy. Well played.

My top 3 games, are not the top 3 that I would want to have if by themselves. Mainly because some of my top 3 favorites are TZ and TAF. WHich if owned in a small collection, are way to similar and to much of the same thing. So to add some diversity i'd go with

TZ
LOTR
SOF

Missing acdc right now but TWD is serving as a solid substitute.

That's an impossible question to answer. It's like asking what are your favourite three children (if you are stupid enough to have more than three )
