Quoted from Gov:I am not even a fan of Haunted House to be honest
Modern: Stargate
Solid State: Countdown or Alien Star
EM 2" Flipper: Sing Along
EM 3" Flipper: Not sure I have a favorite, but 300 and Atlantis are fun.
For it's time . . .. I think HH is pretty cool. But I definitely think SG doesn't get enough love. Lots of bang for the buck with that one.
Quoted from chuckwurt:HH is not even in my top 10
SS - Robowar (some of the best sounds I have ever heard and addicting gameplay), Stargate (tons to do in the game, and some of the coolest toys I have seen in games from that era)
EM - Jungle Queen, and Fast Draw (both because there are lots of drops, and lots of bonus accumulation
That's what I was looking for. Some SS Gottliebs I hadn't heard of before. I figured everyone knows HH. Will have to find a Robowar. But come on, HH has EIGHT flippers, pretty cool sound for an early '80s pin, love the organ music, dig the back glass and cabinet colors, and a secret passage to the first under the PF, PF. But really, I said "other than HH" I don't mean to turn this into a why I like HH.
Quoted from Max_Badazz:Easy ... Super Mario Bros. I love that game
Hmmm . . .. I should have played one here recently when it came on the market. I didn't go check it out because of the negative reviews. But I've come to learn, pins are very subjective. There are several "Top Pins" that I've thought were just "Meeh.? I'll give this one a try. Thanks.
Quoted from jmountjoy111:I will be honest. All of the gottlieb games are pretty fun. A lot of them get a bad review for being cheesy and my favorite gottlieb game might be the cheesiest of the all.
Genesis.
I don't care if you like the little guy or not. That game is addictive.
LOL! That's definitely a cheesy one. Hale to the Cheese!

Much appreciated!
Quoted from ForceFlow:If you like cheese, there's always Mousin' Around
Great Pin.
Quoted from Xerico:Black Hole is my favorite from the 1980-83 era (Sys 80s)
Mars God Of War is an underrated Gottlieb SS.
Excalibur is another great Gottlieb.
Circus is on my short list to find one day.
Volcano is another fantastic game by Gottlieb.
Punk! and Spirit are highly sought Gottlieb games from this era.
But the holy grail is definitely Krull. Good luck ever finding one for sale.
Marcus
Thanks for all of the input. Loads more to explore.
Quoted from chuckwurt:Just think the play is way too clunky.
I can see that. It is sort of stop and go. But fast in the lower PF.
