Though for just overall enjoyment I spent allot of time years ago playing a pin called "Junk Yard", have still to this day only seen the pin in one location. The aesthetics are terrific. One of my favorite items in my collection is the original painting for the Twilight pin backglass. I should have lifted the mylar sheet before taking the pic, but its the only pic I have handy.

So much awesomeness! I've heard the pin is solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronty | 187 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 I owned the pin for a while. Fun, and lots of cool stuff going on in it, but the left hand side of the playfield pissed me off. Cheap drains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefaultGen | 5,401 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 That's amazing. TZ is by far my favorite machine. I love WOZ too because it basically cribbed the main playfield geometry. The easiest way to not drain out the left side is to not let the ball get over there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronty | 187 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Agreed , but I hate feeling like I have to play around half the table Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TZ is my favorite pin off all time, but if anything it’s too easy. Definitely not too hard. When I think of cheap pops, The Walking Dead comes to mind. That game has horrendously cheap drains.

I have a natural aversion to tables with notorious drains, partly because they tend to chase away more casual players that I might want to share the table with.

VGD | 72 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Black Knight 2000. Wish I owned one. Fond memories of playing in the mall arcade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightowljrm | 72 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 I'm not exactly a big pinball guy, but before it was sold, I played the Super Mario Bros. pin religiously. I know it gets some grief for not being exactly "good", but it was the only one I have taken the time to be good at and I really enjoyed it. If I were to own one ever, that'd be it. I do enjoy all the Black Knights, of course, as well as other staples. The Joust one is really fun too, it's so weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LtCasual | 27 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 (edited) I think my favorite has to be Addams Family, but only because we had one in the arcade I worked at so I got to spend a lot of time playing that machine and getting pretty good at it.

ookii_risu | 206 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 The Data East Star Wars pin is my favorite. It's easy to play as long as the rubber on the right flipper is good enough to get the ball up the middle ramp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,932 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 I’m partial to the Williams system 11 era ish stuff and a bit before and after. The 3DS got a physical release with like 8 games on it and it’s much so a bit of a favorites list with black knight, space shuttle, and others like pin-bot. But some dmd I adore like Indiana Jones Addams family and T2 I played a good bit in college along with theater of magic I’ve learned to love in recent years. thst said I’m no operator but I do own a home use only pin-bot. I hate and love it as it’s one cruel table that can easily take a ball in seconds by design. As long as it flows fair though it’s a gear game with many things to do but as an owner it’s real picky on balance with that vortex shot. I enjoy hitting the Louisville arcade expo yearly as it’s all free play on like 50-100 tables all day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astor Reinhardt | 199 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 I've only had a few chances to play pinball as they're not very common and I suck at it. One I remember playing on was an Austin Powers one. Love the movies so I decided to play on it. It was in Cali at a motel me and my parents were staying at for the night on our way back home...they had a pool, some vending machines and this pinball machine so I played a little on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dewisp02 | 47 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 I've got Super Mario Bros, Super Mario Bros Mushroom World, TMNT, Sorcerer, X-Files, and Bally Harley Davidson currently. Guests love playing all of them... especially once you explain the rulesets to them. And honestly, most people gravitate towards the 2 puck bowlers I have (Alley Cats and Top Brass).
