[QUOTE="Gus, post: 225466, member: 4188"] While I do agree with you about the crate hit requirements getting crazy, it's not the 'little 2-ball mb' that is interesting - it's the Monster multiball you can get afterwards ;) It's been a long time since I played SS in real life, but I can imagine it's pretty hard to reach the wizard mode (where it's trivial in TPA), especially more than once in the same game. Scoring seems very linear to me, but I'm not a fan of either Elvira table and they're way out of my top 10. When I play a real table, I focus on the fun stuff more than the scoring tbh. I obviously try to score well, but I'm not trying to find safe shots or avoid risky/fun shots. Table theme, sound, callouts and toys are a big part of a table and what makes a table good (for me), which is supposedly not to be factored in this thread :) Is it even possible to disregard that? The games listed here mostly have great themes. I don't see anyone rooting for tables like Genie, which has pretty good scoring rules imo ;) Since I only very rarely play real pinball any more, I think it's actually hard to argue which tables are the best. Even though TPA does a great job, the difference compared to a real table is huge. Many times my RL favourites are disappointing in TPA. I'll throw a few very solid tablenames into the mix anyway and I probably won't be able to disregard the themes :) Agree on top 10 tables: TAF, AFM, MM Possibly agree on: TZ, STTNG Disagree on: MB, SS, CV, CC, RBION Other possible top 10 candidates: Indiana Jones Whirlwind Funhouse BSD White Water Demo Man The Shadow I've never played a RL Jack*Bot, but it's pretty damn sweet in TPA and seems to have good rules.
