[QUOTE="CC13, post: 43242, member: 1151"] I really wanted to be able to say better things about this conference, but Gottlieb solid states have a very poor reputation amongst hardcore pinheads from what I've seen (which I can't understand, as many of them look like great fun, particularly Freddy: Nightmare on Elm Street, which I kind of regret not putting in here). The best explanation I can come up with is that Gottlieb designs tended to be more basic than B/W's output, which meant fewer groundbreaking innovations like FH's Rudy or TZ's gumball machine. That said, this seems less...prominent at IPDB than at Pinside, so I'll reverse my call on Stargate and say that it should make the field of 96. Joker Poker looks like it could be a contender, but Tee'd Off always struck me as a weaker NGG (not to mention that somebody posted a thread about finding a Tee'd Off on eBay and nobody seemed to recognize it) and Super Mario mostly gets talked up for having the face of video games as its theme (though I still want one as one of my first 10 IRL pins). In short, the pins here aren't bad, but Haunted House is the only one I can see holding its own against MM or TZ in this type of contest. P.S. Class of 1812 does look fun from what I've seen on Pinball.org—perhaps we'll see it on TPA in a Halloween or two? P.P.S. Hurricane Cannon is next, but I need to look through the conference more closely first. [/QUOTE]
