    I've been thinking lately that early solid state might be my favorite era of pinball. Excellent layouts, fun rules that can be surprisingly deep, lots of great sci-fi and fantasy artwork, and fantastic, otherworldly sound design (particularly all the "enemy" games like Gorgar or Black Knight where you face off with a menacing-sounding foe). Now I'm trying to decide who made the best games during that time period. I'm thinking it's either Williams or Bally, I was completely captivated by the Flash Gordon I played today, and it inspired me to make this topic. What do you think?
