I can tell you a hard one- Dirty Harry. Ramp shots & orbits are tight, but very satisfying when made.

As far as easy- I think TOTAN is rather easy, but it's a great game for Wives and non-pinheads. Although easy, the artwork and sound is the best out there IMO

When I had bride of pinbot I found it got easy. I knew it would but got a good deal on it

I even set it up as mean as I could but it still after a few games I could crush it

It was still a great game and the 2.0 kit defiantly makes it a whole other game since it makes you shot for more than 1 ramp

Bally atlantis is very easy. But the art makes it worth keeping

Gottlieb Touchdown is pretty easy.

Vote Family Guy....main wizard mode is pretty easy to achieve.

I don't think you can call a machine easy - it's going to completely depend how it is set up. Case in point take a T3 I owned at one point, I sold it because it was too easy. I got to the Wizard mode 80% of the games I played on it and the rest I was always very close. I sold it to an operator I knew and he put it up on location and made it steeper, opened up the outlanes etc and I never got to the wizard mode again, but could still get very reasonable scores on it.

100% agree on these two. My game times tend to be very long.

Sperm attack is easy to get? I've never seen or heard of anyone getting it. Even TV Wizard I don't see achieved all too often.

Earthshaker is pretty easy but still a very fun game.

Sperm attack isn't the standard wizard mode....that one is tough to get to and I haven't achieved either. TV Wizard mode wasn't difficult to reach, maybe the one I played was set up easy. I could more than 25% of the time.

Hands down this award has to go to Super Mario Bros in Mushroom World. It's so stupidly easy to make shots and keep the ball alive that I've never actually finished a full game.

Any game without the glass installed.

The hobbit to easy to get to multiball and to start modes
Spider man just backhand doc ock
Stern Indiana jones the games pretty simple and easy
South park is also simple and easy

A few of the games being listed so far can take dozens or hundreds of plays to master, complete/reach all the modes, and get to a wizard mode (if applicable).

What are some games that only take a small handful of plays to master?

Scared Stiff, South Park, BOP, POTC all come to mind

Swe1....

T2

1 more vote for Super Mario--or any early-ish Gottlieb System 3. The flippers allow for such long ball times compared to other games, in my opinion.

Another vote for Scared Stiff. I always thought WCS94 was pretty easy.

TOM - but I still love it

Lord of the Rings. Bought it NIB years ago and grew tired of the hour long games so couldn't sell it fast enough.

TV is a mini wizard mode. Sperm Attack is the main wizard mode.

Roller Coaster Tycoon. Put all settings to Extra Hard or you're at Park Tycoon wizard mode almost every game....

I stand corrected. It is not easy.

I agree

So crank up that angle and make it harder...yall are playing on easy settings, lol.

Captain Fantastic is about as easy as it gets to win replays on.

T3 does have fairly simple shots but it gets plenty of play as a family game because of that and fairly long ball times. My outlanes aren't wide open like the previous post but like i said, a fine easy played family game. Pairs well sitting next to ironman if your into a quick butt whipping. .lol

yep, forgot about T2, very easy....reason I sold mine....

To me, easy means to walk up to a title you've never played nor studied... and kill it. For me, that's been Family Guy, 24, Spiderman, and IJ (Stern). No, I don't know how they might have been setup difficulty-wise, but all were in the wild and seemed to be working properly. ymmv.

Exactly. And what does easy mean, anyway?

You can make it to Assault on T3 every game?

Great. Can you beat good players on it consistently when it counts? Then it's not easy.

Is Spiderman easy just because everybody is relatively good at it? LOTR?

"easy" ain't always easy. Just ask your mom!

THe only real "easy" games I've played are some of the worst Williams EMs from the early 1970s, like Triple Action or Jive Time on add-a-ball. Games where you get sick of playing it before you run out of balls.

I agree with BOP and any 1 shot game.

Aladdin's castle. When you light the special it stays lit to collect over and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, but it is still fun.

I know its a novelty and I am not sure if it counts as "easy" (because it can be unpredictable) but Orbitor 1 comes to mind.

SS, TOTAN, and ToM are the easiest popular games I can think of.

How about Bally Kings of Steel?

Almost forgot to mention... El Toro!

How about a game where you almost don't have to do ANYTHING (except maybe force yourself to stay awake to play)?

Man. Since first hearing about this one last week I still can't believe it. 1983... cocaine was a hell of a drug...

I agree with this. I played it at the PHOF a few months ago just because I had never played one before, and it took forever to play a full game. I got very bored with it and wished I had spent that time playing something more challenging. But it was specifically designed for kids and has the short legs, so I guess we can't complain too much. I probably looked like an idiot sitting there on a little stool playing that thing.
