I would add CV's "Ringmaster battle" and "Join the Cirqus".
I wouldnt call them easy but i think average is about right in terms of actually completing them.
Seems we could add some more Stern games in here:
NOT RANKED:
TF-Cybertron
X-Men Dark Phoenix
TRON (reach/finish Portal)
BDK (reach/finish Gotham)
WPT Keefer Invitational is pretty darn hard
Elvis (reach/finish Graceland)
And I would move POTC up the ladder. The POTC big prize is Gauntlet of the Pirates not 4 winds How many Gauntlet points do you have?
I think Stern introduced some challenge into the rules of their games that surpasses the old Bally/Williams days. Those B/W games are classics, though.
Quoted from pinballcorpse:NOT RANKED:
TF-Cybertron
yes please put that at the very top.
I've never completed the Stargate Wizard mode... I've gotten to the second stage, I think it's pretty difficult making those shot with two balls in play...
We have the game set to the hardest difficulty.
Quoted from taylor34:You know what, I might be wrong on that. I was thinking that the yellow target up by The Shadow wall (spots mongol letters normally) spots switches during that mode but I can't find any reference to that in the faq so I'm probably wrong. Ignore what I said, lol, I'm screwed up.
Mode start spots shots/targets. That's quite a slog to get through it that way though.
I'd think getting Spider Multiball on SS would be quite difficult. I've never been anywhere near it. On the other hand, The Stiff-o-meter is easy to get, and I've been one shot away from completing it.
As for Sterns, I've twice reached Graceland on Elvis, and both times was on a machines at Chuck E. Cheese that was malfunctioning, making it much too easy to score. I scored 1,829,000,000 in a game on it. I've never gotten to wizard mode on any Stern otherwise, with a best score of 579,000,000 on Elvis when working correctly.
I think the easiest wizard to get is Demolition Time on DM. I can get that routinely. The closest I've been to a wizard mode on any other Williams/Bally is being about four door panels away from LITZ.

There will always be the issue of "getting to" and "completeing" also. Completing of course makes it more confusing because some you don't have to "complete." TZ can be easy to get to if you just try to get to it..same with JP. If you really want to be a cheap ass, IJ may be the easiest to get to, but you do have to complete it.
