Once again, thanks for all your hard work putting these together PiN WiZ!!!

Too bad no x-files.

Here's what I voted for (never played any of them):
Rocky and Bullwinkle - loved that show growing up
High roller casino
Monopoly
Laserwar - a war, with lasers, and futuristic women, sure why not.
Rollercoaster tycoon …this is on the way anyway isn't it
Seawitch - redemption!
Secret service - what a perfectly odd concept
Sharky shootout - more pool!
Tales from the crypt - Halloween table for sure!
Time machine
Nice work on the poll though!

I've only played 2 of 'em

Voted for my 10...please make HRC happen; I enjoyed the heck out of it during summer 2004, on my trip to Idle Wild.

Seawitch my #1 from this list.

Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends - I'll get you Moose and Squirrel
Catacomb - This game just has so much to it. How could it not get votes?
Laser War - It's a little bit of a single shot table, but that music those lights
Lightning - Somewhere between Black Knight and Grand Lizard lies Lightning
Monopoly - Sane era and general design as RBION, leads me to think it will have a sense of depth as well.
Quicksilver - "It Ain't Just Any Plain Old Silver Ball.It's the Fastest Moving Pinball Ever!" plus we still need a game that starts with Q to complete a machine for every letter
Seawitch - Can this be a 2nd chance for the witch?
Stars - If can be this much fun and frustration ...
Time Machine - I guess I got a crush on this machine during PAPA 16 footage, but the one there sure didn't play like this
Viper (Stern, 1981) - It's got a rototarget/cannon. Like, c'mon. Plus the art work is soo Geiger-ish it's beyond description.


Big Game, Free Fall, Trident, and Stingray were all on my shortlist to be chosen but there were only so many selections to make.
Tales From the Crypt, Rollercoaster Tycoon and NASCAR all look good, but probably don't really need any extra love as DMDs never seem to do poorly when stacked up against early era Solid States.
Sharkeys Shootout is weird as it is juts a hyped up version of EBD.

Here's my list! Too bad Robocop didn't make the cut.

Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends (Data East, 1993)
High Roller Casino (Stern, 2001)
Monopoly (Stern, 2001)
NASCAR (Stern, 2005)
Rollercoaster Tycoon (Stern, 2002)
Sharkey's Shootout (Stern, 2000)
Striker Xtreme (Stern, 2000)
Tales from the Crypt (Data East, 1993)
Time Machine (Data East, 1988)
Viper Night Drivin' (Sega, 1998)

Now this should be interesting how things will go. Time to pull up the sofa chair, and watch me some badly made YT videos.

I especially love it when they swish up to the backglass as if watching numbers change is interesting.

They are probably made like that to show the machine works, so that the machine can be considered for trade/sale whatever. Or to show that they have fixed an issue, or that there is an existing one.

Look on pinball.org for strict gameplay videos, sometimes the ones linked aren't the best.

No no no, I am referring to bad angle shots (like Galaxy) or holding the cam/phone one hand and playing the game one handed, and others....

I thought for sure Monopoly would've needed it's own Kickstarter. But if it doesn't then that's great. Now I need to decide what my other 9 votes should go to.

That Secret Service game is gonna need some serious music licensing.

Baby, you're the best

Eh, maybe not.

I was voting for it anyway, but looking up that video has shoved it right into my top three picks. It looks so fun to play

TMNT (like Robocop) didn't make the cut, while The Simpsons Pinball Party table was in the Premium License poll.
