[QUOTE="LeBaron, post: 79556, member: 2913"] Glad people are posting their votes. I understand the votes not being visible because it might make people think it's worthless to vote for the game they really want if it's visibly so far behind in the poll, which could lead to 'tactical voting' instead of genuine preference. On the other hand if someone chooses to post their vote on the forum, that doesn't necessarily indicate that those choices are those of the majority, so others can take it with a pinch of salt if they wish. In that spirit, and for whatever it's worth, here's what I voted for and why, in no particular order: 1) Atlantis - a really unusual table format that I'd love to try. Centigrade 37 has a similar one but I just feel Atlantis has better artwork: lovelier colours and a more romantic theme. I love the seahorse on the right slingshot. 2) Dimension - as with Atlantis, one of the great things about these older games it that they were experimenting with very different basic layouts from the ones we're used to. I love the idea of all those side drop targets and want to try it. 3) Gigi - with all those bumpers taking up the table this looks like a really fast game for anyone who thought old games were boring. Probably not much skill involved but an exciting two-minute break game before you plunge back into a more modern table that you can play for quite a while. Likewise... 4) Jumping Jack - ...more of the same here. How often do you see a bright pink pinball machine? King Pin has a similar back drop target setup that looks interesting, but looking at the YouTube video this particular game looks appropriately named, fast and really good fun, the ball bouncing around like crazy. 5) Space Time - because I'm a sucker for flashing and/or spinning circular gimmicky things dominating the table. Hence... 6) Stardust - and... 7) World Fair - ...for the same reasons. 8) Slick Chick - because that big bumper cross looks like it demands it's own style of gameplay and it has some classic vintage artwork. 9) Spirit of 76 - because it really looks like a classic game of it's time, which was also a great year in my childhood for reasons of no consequence to anyone else... 10) Flip a Card - ...because it came out the year I was born. Every pinhead deserves to vote for a game that came out the year they were born. [/QUOTE]
