Absolutely without a doubt Baywatch, I owned one, love the gameplay, it was top notch. But I just could no longer take the Baywatch theme and had to sell it. I still kind of regret it, but then the super cheesy music and callouts come to mind...yikes!

Seriously though, probably one of the best pure pinball games I've played, other than the multiball. Far to easy to accomplish and even at the most inopportune times, because you had no real control of getting it or not. If you wanted to complete the tower shots, you better do it fast, because you'll be screwed by multiball...

I might buy one again if the price was right, sub 1k with everything working.

I'm shocked by many of the suggestions here actually...

Quoted from navajas:

Monster Bash, Party Monsters and Tales from the Crypt.
Not a big fan of goofy ass camp.

...says the guy with a Space Shuttle...

But seriously, love that game, the pop x drops are brilliant!

Quoted from Spybryon:

Police Force. Should have been Batman.

Police Force is still a good party game (and tournament if you set the menu right), but I agree, would have been better as batman. I don't think the theme really distracts as much as others...

Quoted from o-din:

Mabe those guys on the backglass know something we don't.

Some kind of show about to happen...

Quoted from AlexF:

My wife and I had a discussion about Dancing Lady this week. I had an opportunity to buy one once for a nice price. My wife said I should have. I understand it's a fun game and EM backglass animation is always a plus. My comment to her was that it's just such a weird theme for a pinball enthusiast. How many guys want a game with a little pivoting ballerina in it? I do like the originality but like Fashion Show you have to wonder if they were trying to appeal to a different demographic.

Wow, that's pretty awesome for an old machine!

Quoted from DanQverymuch:

It is apparent that few know what a tragedy is. To me, the answer is "none."
This thread's title is just a nice way of asking "which pins' themes suck?"
Stupid thread is stupid.

Angry much?

Quoted from DanQverymuch:

As someone who has experienced actual personal tragedy, I'll just say yes.
There is no such thing as a "TRAGICALLY bad theme" on a frickin' pinball.

Well, so have I, but you're being just a tad serious on a Pinball forum don't you think? Anyway, carry on!
