So many good games to choose from...

Bally:
Frontier
Mystic
Flash Gordon
Skateball
Paragon
Harlem Globe Trotters
Medusa
Eight Ball Deluxe
Mata Hari
Power Play
Strikes and Spares
Lady Luck (IF you can find it)
and the criminally under appreciated HardBody

Williams:
Time Fantasy
Laser Cue (16 shots from the flippers on the table y'all!)
Warlok (with a nod to Blackout)
Cyclone

And with only one other Stern Mention here:
Stars
Big Game
Magic

Zaccaria (yeah... I'm goin' there):
Devil Riders
Farfalla
Space Shuttle (IF you can find one, and that's a BIG IF)
Lovomotion
Robot
Fire Mountain

All of the above games are players and games that I love. If I only get to have one? Aaaaagh!?!

Skateball.
Why?
The shots are awesome. Every flipper has at least 3 shots to make that will make a difference in your game. The strobing yellow arrows at the top bank require verry accuraty aim with great timing. The saucer rarely kicks the ball out the same way from the hole and 11 drops means that you ALWAYS have something to shoot for. Ripping the lit spinner is satisfying as well. The build & collect bonus scoring scheme means that this game never completely gives you a win. You are ALWAYS working towards a higher score. 100k + 69k bonus multiplied by 5x in one shot will make you grin like a cheshire cat.

Silver: Warlok. Great shots and another build & collect bonus scheme that is a sniper's dream.
Bronze: Stars. Every shot is taking a chance. Collect the special (for 100k!) and know that you played a damn fine game to do so.

But in the above mentioned competitors. All of them are winners.

Jags,

Medusa and Paragon are both true players. Check out the vids:

Cyclone has to be adjusted with the ruleset to be a real challenge. The incrementing jackpot makes this game less than ideal for tourney play, but I still love it. Oursler (tm) outlanes will always keep you on your toes.

Bad Cats is a game that I owned and sold relatively quickly as I didn't care for the 20 million shot on ball 3. Why play the other 2 balls unless you just shoot the center ramp over and over and over and over and over... Granted the theme, sounds and the butterfly tattoo make this game a fun one, but it is just not for me.
