    That’s tough!! I picked up Alien Star, Deadly Weapon, Jacks Open and the rare pre-war Safety Zone. All of them are awesome!!

    Finally got Coney Island working, as well as Lady Luck. It’s been a great year for Pinball in my life!

    Deadly Weapon and Sorcerer have been my favorites this year. Did a lot of minor tweaking on Sorcerer and now it’s hands down the best playing game of my collection and of any games I’ve played this year.

    James Bond LE. Too much fun!
    It has improved GREATLY over 2023!

    #5 4 months ago

    Got my Holy Grail - Black Knight LE with topper and shoot rod.

    2024 I hope to find an Oktoberfest.

    #6 4 months ago

    Godfather LE.
    Fantastic game IMHO

    #7 4 months ago

    I just got into owning pins this year / and have to say The Big Lebowski is my fave, but i like all my pins! alien, queen, godzilla, cactus canyon, and jurassic park!

    Congrats! Nice find. I never even knew this one had a topper.

    Foo and JP30. Both stunning to look at and play.

    #15 4 months ago

    Bond……..James Bond

    #16 4 months ago

    Started 2023 with a dip in a new Future Spa. That was quickly followed by a Rush to my next new instrumental game. Finally, I closed out 2023 hunting down game while exploring a new Frontier.

    #20 4 months ago

    Just the fact the Labyrinth was a surprise release and looks so good makes it my 2023. Finally Henson and Bowie make it to pinball heaven.

    #21 4 months ago

    Original Monster Bash in fantastic original condition, looks HUO. I wanted one for 13 years even though I never really played it. Even better than I hoped. It's really funny and I'm having a blast!

    Close second - NIB Stranger Things Premium from the latest run.

    #22 4 months ago

    I took a flyer on Pinball Brothers this year, buying both Alien LV and Queen Rhapsody...and boy am I glad I did. Both wonderful games that play completely differently. And before you ask, my game of the year for 2024 will be Jaws LE, simply because it's probably the only game I'm buying.

    Bond

    Bond……..James Bond

    +recoding my Galaxy! Merry Christmas everybody!!

    #27 4 months ago

    Ehoh LE ,been bugging my friend for 3 years to sell. He was more than fair on price.

    #28 4 months ago

    So I had to really think about this and hear me out…
    I feel like my Game of the Year is Galactic Tank Force. Trying to stay positive on that doomed hype train while tracking games down to put some time in was the most memorable thing for me in pinball this year. In the end we got a solid B grade game that will likely never shake off its launch stink.

    Jokerz, pinbot and Iron Maiden

    #31 4 months ago

    Got Iron Maiden in the summer and JP30th in the fall. Both are pinball at its finest.

    #32 4 months ago

    Finally got Pinbot up and running, he's been disassembled since 2016 so it's been a long time coming.
    Fire sale STTNG is still coming along little by little, it needs so much replaced, but for what I paid I have plenty of room.
    Picked up a Black Knight in May that I just finished playfield touch-ups today.

    Of the three, Pinbot is my PMOTY.

    #33 4 months ago

    TBL and Alien LV. Both are amazing!!!

    #34 4 months ago

    I got into pinball this year, so all 14 games I’ve owned deserve a spot.

    Wonka deserves a top spot in games of 2023 for my family.

    But I end the year with Labyrinth and Lebowski leading my killer collection.

    Man, loved Foo Fighters, the Godfather and Final Resistance but I’ve been having the most fun with Venom!

    #37 4 months ago

    I unexpectedly brought home a GZ Premium this year. It might be my favorite game of all time at this point.

    #38 4 months ago

    Dr. NO, Godzilla, and Foo Fighters

    #39 4 months ago

    Definitely enjoying GZ, and always Maiden!

    Talk about diving in.

    #41 4 months ago

    Acdc luci edition…waited for a while to finally find one.

    #42 4 months ago

    In the basement IMDN displaced Star Wars for now as the shiny new object

    On location Venom is tops

    #43 4 months ago

    Foo.

    #45 4 months ago

    JB 60th would be my last of the year.

    Absolutely awesome pin. The smoke machine made my lungs hurt… and the room made me dizzy.

    5/7 The Perfect Game, The Perfect Experience.

    #46 4 months ago

    Godfather le…but Scooby-Doo and Getaway get a honorable mention.

    #47 4 months ago

    I got a rock…

    #48 4 months ago

    Foo for new games but probably BKSOR pro overall. Got it in a trade and the whole family loves it. Just so damn fun.
