My personal list? Doesn’t match that well. Unranked, here are the machines I’ve had the most fun on:
Austin Powers
Indiana Jones
Johnny Mnemonic
T2
Cyclone
Pinbot
Dr. Who
Where is the love? I hate Champion Pub, where does that lame game come from. Good audio is key, and that simply doesn’t have it. Theatre of Magic and Cirqus Volaire are equally annoying. I like TNG and the Addams, it pretty much ends there.

What about Gottlieb’s Haunted House? It’s one of my all-time favorites for its 3 playfields, and still ranks as the machine I’d most like to own someday.
While I agree with much the IPDB top 10, I’ll add that the Star Trek 25th Anniversary table was awesome. Also great is a fairly new table, Pirates of the Caribbean, which among other cool features lets you sink ships on the playfield.

Although I agree TZ and ST:TNG are among the greatest ever. Not one person in any of these lists have mentioned Bram Stoker’s Dracula. A very nice machine with great graphics and sound “Love Never Dies”. I particularly liked the feature of having two different multi-balls going at once. There is a pinball game I cannot remember from the early 70s. It was a wide bodied spaced theme game with a picture of a space shuttle on the top board i believe. It may have been named Space Station Number 5 but am far from sure. Another one amongst the tens of other great machines was an early one named Space Invaders which was most certainly better than its counterpart video game. Thank You. Mike Y.

Certainly not my top 10….id have Indianajones,Terminator 2,Dracula and Attack From Mars in there for sure!

Monster Bash needs to be included in the top 3. That’s my #1. Whoever that jackass is whining about Champion Pub making the list needs to get a life. Sound isn’t THAT important to playing pinball, it’s the gameplay that counts most. But now that he mentioned it, the sound of Champion Pub was pretty entertaining. It’s in MY top 10 too. The shadow is good, but there are better games out there.

Simpson Party is awsome, great multiball, 5 flippers
February 16th, 2011 at 1:57 AM
X-Files. I think this game is worthy for top 10.

The Black Knight from late 70′s or early 80′s featured “magna saves”, magnetic spots that you could activate to save balls from the sides. It had two tiers and several mystery scores. Dracula “Love never Dies” theme was a pleasure to take through its entire story board. Jurassic Park and the Terminator with Arnold and…”get the CPU” were fun, eh?
March 30th, 2011 at 8:33 PM
How about Black Knight (1980)? The first Magna-save, first multilevel, great art work, multiball and good voice track.
July 29th, 2011 at 8:27 PM
*Bally Xenon* is my all time favorite game. If you never played it your missing out.
