It would be easier to say which is in my top 20:
AFM
MM
TZ
STNG

With a maybe to:
AC/DC
JP
IJ
ST
TAF

Have to agree with you there.

Although, I'd eject AC/DC as well. Just don't see what the love for that game is.

I mean, it's a nice shooter and all, but I can think of 3 games in my own collection (GOT, X-Men, and Stern SW) that I'd rather have waaaayyyyy over Angus and the boys.

Later,

1. Pirates of the Caribbean (JJP)
2. Medieval Madness
3. Attack from Mars
4. Monster Bash
6. Iron Maiden: Legacy of the Beast
7. Twilight Zone
8. Lord of the Rings
9. Metallica
10. Deadpool
11. Indiana Jones: The Pinball Adventure
12. AC/DC
13. Elvira's House of Horrors
14. The Addams Family
15. Star Trek
16. Tales of the Arabian Nights
17. Star Trek: The Next Generation
18. Dialed In
19. Spider-Man
20. Theatre of Magic

Same here. Personal top 20? Haven't thought a ton about it but Stern Star Trek is probably the only one that makes the list.

TOM and TOTAN definitely out! I can see the arguments on all the others

All but 3. LOTR, Maiden and JP2

I'll go right to the top for the OP's question. For me the answer is JJPPOTC. Sure, it's got toys galore. It's got razzle. It's got dazzle. But, like all of JJP's offerings except DI, it plays like Atari Hercules... slow, clunky, and boring with zero satisfying shots.

If a rocking canon shot into the side of another ship isn't fun, this may not be your hobby. Canon shot and actually making the extra ball shot are two of the most satisfying shots to me. That extra ball shot feels f'ing amazing when you pull it off.
I also get excited just loading the canon. That shot is very tricky also.
Loading balls in the trunk...also fun.
It's also very very far from slow and one of the smoothest shooters I've played. That upper loop?....butter.

I can get it if someone says the mode coding about collecting characters isn't the best, but I don't get your reasoning...at all. Makes me wonder if you have ever played it.

15 of those are not in my collection with good reason.

What?
I can't stand upper PF's of any kind. Just doesn't appeal to me. POTC is a fine game but I played and got to shoot the canon, nothing special there for me anyway. I mean its fun yeah but don't say "it may not be ur hobby" believe me there are pins and shots we all love that others find boring as shit.

I would remove many from that list. I like games for quality and variety of code. I am never influenced by longing. so I would remove many from the list

I'd remove 5 to 7 machines out of the top 20. A lot of the pins on there are based upon ownership bias, past preferences, sentimental reasons and who know how many other reasons. There are a lot of machines that are not in the top 20 that are a lot more fun to play and own...GOT comes to mind.

tell you the truth Ive played pirates a fair amount and im not in love with the gameplay(though Ill admit its packed and looks awesome). Id also move STTNG, dialed IN, Thetre of magic lower. I do think walking dead and maybe tron should be in top 20.

9 of those would be in my top 20, with a maybe to 5 more, jjppotc no 1? No way

Sttng no 17? That's bs , deserves top 10

This whole list is bs if NGG isn't in the top 5.

That's a stretch there. I know a lot of people like the game and its personal preference, I never enjoyed it.

And STTNG is ranked below Stern's second rate rip off of it. Ooookay.

Exactly...this top 100 list gets shuffled every time a new pin comes out, I don't know how a pin that's 6months old gets in the Top 20 of ALL TIME

I think these ones, but, to be fair, I need more time on some. Also, I really do still enjoy all of them, they just aren't in my top-20.

1. Pirates of the Caribbean (JJP)
13. Elvira's House of Horrors
15. Star Trek
16. Tales of the Arabian Nights
17. Star Trek: The Next Generation
18. Dialed In
19. Spider-Man
20. Theatre of Magic

I was just looking at the JJP Pirates ratings. Looks like its only at number 1 because a bunch of people rated the CE at all 10s. I suppose I would to if I paid a small fortune for one. Give it another month or two and it will drop like a rock.

All of them.

Every last one of them.
