Great list. Mostly I like this because it really goes to show that Williams/Bally, even being the greatest, still made plenty of clunkers (and through their golden years too ).

Stern bashers look at this list and tell me that Stern isn't at least close to the same good game to bad game ratio now that Williams had during this period.

1991-05 Gilligan's Island
1991-07 Terminator 2: Judgment Day
1991-08 The Party Zone
1991-08 Hurricane

Road Kings, Millionaire, Fire, Big Guns, Ramp Warrior, TruckStop, Atlantis, Bad Cats, Bally Game Show, Pool Sharks, Riverboat Gambler, Bugs Birthday Ball, Harley-Davidson, Slugfest, Gilligan's Island, Hurricane are at the very least "questionable" outputs.

I think that we all believe that Williams/Bally were the greatest overall pinball manufacturer in history, all things considered (unless you're an EM guy, then its probably Gottlieb). I just think that everyone is quick to jump on Stern with undue hate sometimes and everytime they release a dud like TRS, its an uproar. Mighty Williams was just as guilty of this. They made tons of classics, but there are also plenty of lame ducks there too. That's not a dig on them or you, just a statement. Stern does make fun games still, even if they are a little "cheaper".
