Greatest Pinball Game Ever: Nominations

Post by Sylvus »

While not technically a video game, I'm going to allow it. Even the fully mechanical ones from the 1950s.

I'll kick this one off with...

Star Trek: The Next Generation

Freddy: A Nightmare on Elm Street is a favorite of mine, but that's mainly because I used to own the machine.

Centaur
War is an option whose time has passed. Peace is the only option for the future. At present we occupy a treacherous no-man's-land between peace and war, a time of growing fear that our military might has expanded beyond our capacity to control it and our political differences widened beyond our ability to bridge them. . . .

Short of changing human nature, therefore, the only way to achieve a practical, livable peace in a world of competing nations is to take the profit out of war.
--RICHARD M. NIXON, "REAL PEACE" (1983)

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, represents, in the final analysis, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children."

No. Just no. Pinball is evil.

Yeah thats all fine and well, but you didn't have to come home to a semi lit house, open the door and hear Freddy stating how he was going to destroy you.

MEDIEVAL MADNESS MOTHERFUCKERS! TWO HITS TO KNOCK DOWN THE CASTLE. REMEMBER TO KNOCK THE GATE DOWN BEFORE INVADING. KNOCK DOWN THE TWO TROLLS TO GET AN EXTRA BALL!!!!! Oh fuck, I have spent probably $200 on this fucker. I don't regret it even a little.

Though it's not real pinball, I give an honorable mention for the stock pinball game that comes with Windows XP. It's fun and it's depthy and it's appropriately difficult.

It was Sonic Spinball. And it sucked.

Christ. I love pinball games.

A lot of these tables mentioned have a Visual Pinball/VPinMAME version. So go get it and set it up!

Have to go w/ the twilight zone. It was a good deep machine. I liked the Adams Family but preferred the wider table in TZ more. Each of the four pro pinball games were great table sims.

Haunted House was pretty cool too. The multi-level playing surfaces really drew my attention at the time.

Moved post about Future Pinball simulator to its own thread so it doesn't get lost/deleted with these nominations:
