Metallica was 2013, not 2003.
my bad..I wrote it down wrong!
Sad boi true!
I really do NOT like that they make 3 different models with significant differences. There should only be one model with all the bells & whistles.
It’s $tern, what else would you expect? Don’t you want to pay for Gary’s private island in the Caribbean??
@@sadboi7537 I hear ya… business is business, but I still don’t like versions that are “compromised.”
I used to feel the same way. The premium/LE are identical as far as gameplay and toys.
The LE just has some extra polish that doesn’t affect the game such as a mirrored backglass, some side art blades.
The pro is no bells and whistles but from an operator standpoint, you’re not getting pinball machines for any other reason than to make a profit.
So if you can save 5 grand, you’re going to take it.
I really don’t understand this opinion at all. As a consumer why would you want less options? Especially less affordable options with 95%+ of the fun?
💯
On fire today! 2 in one day.. now you are spoiling us! Hope you and the family have a fantastic holiday season brother!
Same to you HOMEBOY!
Great list, thankyou 👍So cool that nearly all these are on Visual Pinball too!
"nearly"? ;) please don't forget BAM/Future Pinball with the new physics.
@@MatthiasDiro Thanks for the heads up 👍 I have only used Visual Pinbal and don't know anything about Future Pinball as yet. I will have to look into it soon.
Is Future Pinball an emulator project like Visual Pinball?
No Shadow, Adams Family, or Rocky and Bullwinkle? Godzilla looks great. Can't wait to play it!
Medieval Madness will always be number 1 to me!! I used to play it all the time. It was tucked away in the back of the smallest dive bar in my town. How they got it I’ll never know.
I agree, it's definitely one of the best👍 Did it see a lot of use back then in that bar you frequented?
@@mechanicalpants oh fa sho!! We played it every night. Might’ve had something to do with the fact the bartender would let us smoke weed back there but still, best pinball ever!
@@Bananaphuz Oh that's good to hear you guys gave it some love back in the day! 👍SSorry for the lateness of my reply 😅
Thanks for the list. 😊
No problem 😊
Omitting The Addams Family and Star Trek: The Next Generation is a crime.
You should do a top 10 list of themed pinballs never made like Gremlins, Beetlejuice and Friday the 13th
My favorite is Gorgar and Fish Tales and Funhouse
I'm still absolutely livid that they're still not giving Cirqus Voltaire the attention is deserves
That game gives me a headache. The art is better than the game IMO. I can't stand the bad circus music. I prefer Hurricane to Cirqus.
These are some awsome pinball machines
Medieval Madness still needs to be number 1 one any list due to its release date and it’s solid design and longevity. Godzilla is great but will they be alive in 10 years
They get roached out much sooner than wms games did
It's a timeless theme, with staying power.
@@davidcarper5411 the stupid AA batteries in the back killed a few.
Good list for sure, Big Guns has always been my number 1 🤘
Big guns was first one i loved, now its potc jjp
I was in Budapest Pinball museum last weak. Had an awesome time there with Indiana Jones and other machines ^^
Really suprised me putting godzilla at number 1 bevause thats pretty much the first and only pinball game im trying to get good with at my local arcade. Being a very small town theres alot of sub par games in there, so i walk in just for godzilla every week or so and try to learn more about it. It also helps that im a massive godzilla fan, why i started playing it in the first place lol
Godzilla looks friggin amazing!
play it..u will love it
I own the pro. Best $7k pin buy ever.
And I'm gettin one!!! Be here in an few months😁😁
i typically don't end up enjoying things that the general public finds mass appeal in, but Godzilla more than deserves the #1 spot. It's lightyears better than Medieval Madness, Addams Family, Monster Bash, Twighlight Zone, and all the great early 90s games. It's also the best of Keith Elwin's designs. The only thing i disagree with is that Avengers Infinity Quest is a better game than Iron Maiden. I was playing Iron Maiden set to free play a couple of nights ago, and i couldn't help but feel it simply will not pass the test of time.
@@BootsORiley Damn near bought an Avengers before I founded out my name had finally come up on the Godzilla waiting list. Hoping to get one next though. Haven't play one yet but I hear it's good and about the only complaint people have about it is it's hard as hell and some can't get their heads around the rules. That and the call outs and vid aren't as inspired as they could be.
Can't wait for my request
I haven't played pinball in ages, and none of these machines.
My favorites were Doctor Who, Star Trek: The Next Generation, and Addams Family (Values?)
Godzilla is more than deserving of the top spot. I've never played a better pinball game and i'll be joyously surprised if i ever do. Personally, i think Avengers Infinity Quest is a better game than Iron Maiden and Deadpool and deserves a spot on the top 10, and that Rush deserves an honorable mention. Iron Maiden won't pass the test of time, in my opinion.
Top 3: 1. Seawitch, 2. TX-Sector, 3. Road Kings
Other top machines in no particular order: Xenon, Embryon, Centaur, Transporter: The Rescue, Elektra, Barracora, Big Bang Bar, Deadpool (Pro version), ALIEN (Standard edition), and Strato-Flite/Super-Flite.
I appreciate that you think outside the box, just like me!
Hmm, I admit I'm not an expert on pinball, but have you considered or reviewed Black Knight? Haven't played it in years but my memory is it was amazing. EDIT: Pretty sure the version I played was Black Knight 2000, which has amazing sound and voiceovers.
played all 3 black knight games..they are all incredible..i don't make the list..just report it
@@CaptNRetro 👍
I find the fact that so many people are so into pinball more interesting than pinball itself. I'm just glad such a completely random thing exists to give you all the extremely niche enjoyment you guys need.
Arabian nights definitely should be on this list.. but it’s not
Personally I like Tales of the Arabian Nights. I know it’s considered to be too easy but it’s ridiculously charming and a lot of fun.
Yes, Metallica is one of the best. I keep looking around. Good video. :) Twilight Zone I was expecting it next. Wow, Elvira's House of horror was a surprise. Medieval Madness has something so atractive you cannot resist , I will play this week on VPX.
My opinion
1 theater of magic
2 Congo
3 time warp
4 iron Maiden
5 led Zeppelin
No Sega machines? Lost World, X-Files or my personal Fav - Apollo 13.
I love pinball and those movies, definitely checking that out ! X-files is my favorite show 😎
No Arabian nights? Theater of magic? The AC/DC pinball machine from like 2013(?) was awesome too!
I remember one old machine I played, it must have been a 1970s machine but I played it in the early 80s, it had curved flippers. I really liked that machine. Don't remember the name of it.
Time Warp i think it was called.
@@mr.t114 Thank you very much.
Vintage BEST: PLAYBOY, ALIEN, THE BLACK KNIGHT.
LOL, I was thinking Elektra or Space Shuttle.
Pinball is alive and well, thanks guys!
Stern announced Jaws today…
Indiana Jones
Twilight Zone
Addams Family
Judge Dredd
No Good Gophers
are my top 5
solid stack
Metallica…really, I love Borg but still on the fence about this one. The rest of the list is pretty spot on thu!
Does anyone know a pinball machine called T H E S H A D O W ? I think it’s from a movie. I loved that machine perhaps 30 years ago.
th-cam.com/video/rT3haf33-Co/w-d-xo.htmlsi=RNkwOq91fVKlclOS
That’s a whole video on it!
Walking Dead makes my top 5 list, along with Game of Thrones, Stern: Star Trek, STTNG and Demo Man. I like the tougher games.
Of "All Time"??? You mean of "recent time". These newer models wouldn't even exist had it not been for the legendary designers and games of the golden age of pinball; 1947-1977. Pinball was not invented, it has a long evolutionary history with key innovations and breakthrough ideas leading to the modern game. Along the way were some very innovative, fun playing, and gorgeous looking models, which didn't contain a single microchip.
Not sure why the "toy" pinballs produced by stern dominate the top 10.
Twilight Zone is the best pinball Ever!!! Period!!!
More movie reactions
I think WOZ needs to be in any top 10 list. It was revolutionary and changed pinball as we all knew it. If it wasnt for WOZ, we'd still be playing games with DMDs and incandescent lights.
Personally.. lcd screens do nothing for me.. unless you’re watching someone else play, you really don’t have time to follow all the animations and things that happen as you’re playing.. I just need an alphanumeric scoring device.. bells and whistles don’t make a game better.. they are just bells and whistles.. as for RGB lighting.. same.. lights do nothing for playing except alert you to what you want to shoot for or tell you if you’ve already collected something.. also.. I don’t make the list.. but pirates of the Caribbean JJP would make my list before WOZ
The whole world has been switching to LEDs over the past 10 years. All pinball manufacturers switching to LEDs was inevitable because of cost, reliability, and availability. JJ/WOZ had nothing to do with that.
@@kevindvigneault WOZ was the first to use RGB leds in a pinball game.
@@donh1511 Doesn't matter, do you understand what inevitability is? Full color lcds and leds were going to be a thing even if woz never was a thing.
The new lcd screens are a big no for me, I like the old 90s baseball style dmds with their cartoony vids. Who is watching a tv when playing a pinny anyway?
Dunno if it was the perspective, but the Godzilla flipper gap looks huge..
must been the angle..Godzilla is perfect
Top 10 Pinball Machines of all Time??? mmm...I would disagree in almost all the list except for one machine I really like to play which is Attack from Mars but you certainly missed a lot of legendary tables such as: The Addams Family, Eight Ball de Luxe, The Getaway, PartyZone, Terminator 2, Golden Arrow, Genie, Blackout, Black Knight, Gorgar, Fish Tales, amongst others
Godzilla will ALWAYS be #1! i will never get rid of my Godzilla Pro!
Of all time?? C'mon man, how can you not include TAXI, Theater of Magic,Big Guns, Fish Tails!
Based off Pinside website user based rankings as of the time of posting.. not my personal top 10
TotAN is my favorite
P A R A G O N
People will always be influenced by what's new. So this is hardly the top machines of all time. More like what's just popular now.
Dead pool is so good.
I'll agree to disagree. I was not a fan of that Deadpool table nor that Jurassic Park one.
My personal favorite is Starship Troopers.
Avengers Infinity Quest is so much better than Deadpool and Iron Maiden, imho. I think JP is a good Elwin design, though.
Addams family all day..White water a close second
Not my cup of tea, these games... prefer the older machines.
Godzilla is really good, but it won't win the test of time like Medieval Madness has, and will. This is called the recency effect.
There is someone locally selling a Last Action Hero pinball for 3700. Is that too much? It will be my first pinball.
if it is in really really nice condition..that's still a little high..I'd offer 3K
@@CaptNRetro ok. Thank you. He is willing it on Offerup in Fresno, Ca.
No Addams family?
Rated precisely as it should've been.
Taf is top selling table alltime… but TZ is basically an advanced upgrade to taf. Ill always respect taf for its influence but TZ is superior imo
Williams Defender with its sound and game flow was something special, also Gorgar.
Get a bigger house, your gonna be sadly disappointed with Scooby Doo
I was sadly disappointed by weird Al.. very cheap feeling.. I like most Spooky games.. AMH and TNA and Alice Cooper are fun.. Rick and Morty not so much.. haven’t spent enough time on Halloween or Ultraman to comment.. but I recorded this before it was revealed .. and you’re right.. it looks very lacking and boring.. art looks incredible though.. as a lifelong Doo fan.. I dig the art work..
Unless you played the game, how do you know it’s going to be disappointing?
@@CaptNRetro i found Ultraman to be a pretty good Spooky game. I like it more than Halloween and i seem to enjoy Halloween more than the average pinball enthusiast.
Afm isn't a top 5 game, more character than business.
How comes you edited it at 9:19 with the balls ready to go straight down the middle as it always does but switched to the balls being apart ??
Can't really take you seriously after doing that.
I didn’t edit that footage.. stern did
@@CaptNRetro You should of mentioned it in the Video as is a known fault & people have to pay extra for a mod to sort it. . PS Thanks for the honest reply.
@@andyb6120 i owned a pro model, and it didn't have that issue..was unaware it was a known fault on premium and limited editions..my bad!
@@CaptNRetro post some real actual footage then!
