you snap your finger and one pin from each decade ceases to exist any more. Which ones go?

1980s:
1970s:
1960s:
You can choose based on any reasons you want: not liking a pin, petty revenge against pinsiders, spite against pinsiders, non-petty revenge against pinsiders, being snubbed in the Top 100 ranking on pinside, you know, all the good reasons. 
my choices...
2010s: Stern Woah Nellie
2000s: Stern Playboy
1990s: Sega/Stern Harley Davidson
1980s: Williams Jokerz!
1970s: Bally Wizard
1960s: Gottlieb Royal Guard
2010s - Ghostbusters - I love the artwork and callouts, but wish another playfield designer would have taken a crack at this.
2000s - Shrek/Family Guy - I hate the layout, and just about every random place with one pinball game has one of these.
1990s - Junkyard - Honestly it's not bad, it's just one of the Bally/Williams titles I encounter often enough in the wild and don't care for it much. I'm sure there are worse titles, but our paths don't cross often
1980s - Jokerz. It's fine.
Quoted from DBLM:2010's: America's Most Haunted
2000's: Vacation America
1990's: Waterworld
1980's: Hardbody
Ouch, poor amh 
60s - Gottlieb 'Skipper'
70s - Bally 'Circus'. And it doesn't even have anything to do with the giant clown faces. Truly a 'home version' pinball in a full-size coin-op cabinet.
Quoted from dung:2010s: TMNT (Longer I owned it the less I liked it due to the lower half of the pf)
2000s: Shrek (Hideous, terrible voice acting)
1990s: TOM (Yes I own one. It will be sold/traded shortly. Beautiful, flowing layout, boring code. Total snoozefest.)
1980s: Millionaire
Wasn’t TMNT released in 2020?
Whoa Nellie and Wizard! ? Love both. If I ever let it be known what games I didn’t like, I’d be tarred and feathered. “Snap snap”
2010s: 
DC21B3E2-923A-4BFC-AA29-EE976955A92E.jpeg
2000s: SWE1 Pin2k was wasted on that one
1990s: Hook
1980s: GTB Rock. Worthless hunk of junk. I GC’d one by accident and walked away with 2 balls left. Awful, awful game. Possibly one of the worst. I’m amazed that such a travesty could come out of 1985 when some of the greatest games ever were made around the same time.
1970s: WMS Fun-Fest damn, I’ve been offered that abomination too many times.
1960s: Beat Time. Hate seeing “Beatles themed pin RARE! 5k” nonsense
Quoted from ZNET:1978 Stern Ted Nugent. The guy is an asshole. Enough said.
Probably safe to say the Elks, Moose and Bears feel the same way.
Quoted from Eric_S:2010s: Thunderbirds
2000s: Sharkey's Shootout
1990s: Cue Ball Wizard
1980s: Monte Carlo
1970s: El Toro
1960s: Hootenanny
I should have gone for Cue Ball Wizard. Ugggh I can't like that game. I tried so hard to.
I still want to play Sharkey's Shootout though.
Quoted from TheLaw:2010s: ACDC
You're high.
Quoted from Eric_S:2010s: Thunderbirds
No fair. That's not even a pinball machine.
The correct answer for the 2010s is clearly WWE. 
Quoted from Electrocute:Whoa Nellie and Wizard! ? Love both. If I ever let it be known what games I didn’t like, I’d be tarred and feathered. “Snap snap”
I wouldn't hate Woah Nellie so much if it had actually sold and instead had its parts recycled and absolutely WASTED on two gorgeous art packages, Pabst and Primus.
Wizard is a garbage game I will hate forever.

Upvoted for being a refreshingly original topic of discussion.
First thread I've favorited in awhile.

Gary hates Playboy. He's said that it's his least favorite game because it was the one game that his daughter refused to play.
That thing got yanked from the line faster than Wheel of Fortune.
Quoted from PismoArcade:That thing got yanked from the line faster than Wheel of Fortune.
What's the story with WOF? It's sad that one isn't around more, and the code isn't finished. (And/or the finished code isn't released...)
But I really enjoyed WOF's general gameplay.
Playboy has 3 pinball machines and they're all supremely lazy efforts.
Stern Playboy is fun to play.
Is it my favorite? No. But worst of the decade? Wow, not even close to it.
Quoted from TheLaw:I've only played 1, and besides an ACNC with no code it could be the worst pinball machine I've ever played.
And that includes Dominoes.
I already told you, the ACNC you played at PATZ was not only early code but also suffered from low voltage and the flippers were so weak, you couldn't even make the ramps. I was there and played it! This is an awesome pin now. But it's hard and intended for seasoned players because the shots are tight.

WOF started out actually being "Who Wants to be a Millionaire", then got changed to "Survivor" before finally becoming "Wheel of Fortune".
It's actually one of my favorite pins that I've owned. People laugh at me when I say that but the unique gameplay had me coming back for more. The voices were irritating and the code was beyond shallow (Wizard mode lights that are worthless because there is no wizard mode coded into the game).
I told Gary Stern this a few years ago and he wrinkled up his nose, made a face and said "Nope." 
Another issue for the game was, at that time, Wheel of Fortune wasn't that huge outside of North America. Overseas sales were abysmal. At the end, Stern was blowing these out for around 3k.
WOF and BM66 are the two games I regret selling.

I disagree about PBRCC, but Donny’s talents were definitely wasted on Cosmic Carnival. A blacklight Dirty Donny pin would have been an insta-buy if it hadn’t been so bad. So that’s my vote for the 2010’s.
00’s - Wheel of Fortune (theme)
90’s - SWE1 (the game that killed B/W)
80’s - Vector
Quoted from PismoArcade:WOF started out actually being "Who Wants to be a Millionaire", then got changed to "Survivor" before finally becoming "Wheel of Fortune".
Your Avatar is a theme I always wanted to be a pin LOL!

I feel the same about CSI. I even gave mine a new playfield before I sold it. “Maggots” as a pinball callout is hilarious.
Quoted from pinballlife:Stern Playboy is fun to play.
Is it my favorite? No. But worst of the decade? Wow, not even close to it.
You're missing the point. Think subjugation.
2010s: Dialed In
2000s: World Poker Tour
1990s: Bugs Bunny Birthday Ball
1980s: Orbitor 1
1970s: Stern Electronics Dracula
1960s: Flying Chariots
Quoted from Mr_Outlane:Your Avatar is a theme I always wanted to be a pin LOL!
I would be so in with a "Great White North" CE. Pushing the start button: "Coo Loo Coo Coo Coo Coo Coo Coo....Coo Loo Coo Coo Coo Coo Coo Coo..."
Ahhh, dreams.
Quoted from John_I:2010s: WWE, Dialed In, WOZ
... 1970s: El Toro
But ...but ... "New Improved Front Door"!

Tron LE all those superior Tron LE owners going on about drop targets and extra mode now they’ll be in the same boat as the rest of us peasants.
