[QUOTE="JefferyD, post: 249913, member: 2597"] Gorgar-Monster Bash was the one that clinched it for me. I was totally unaware of post-1980 pinball advancement until I tried TPA. I came for Gorgar, and was ensnared by Monster Bash. Pardon the rerun – I know I've typed this before – but I played pinball as a kid at a local 7-11 for years. As I recall, there was a parade of Evel Knievel, Kiss, Superman and Gorgar – one at a time – spaced out over a few years with Gorgar lasting the longest. After serving the last few months of its reign with a shattered back glass and a player 1 scoreboard that didn't work, Gorgar was carted out and never replaced. I really missed Gorgar, and every time I walked in that 7-11 I hoped they'd surprise me with a new pinball table. Nope. Never happened. A few years later I found a movie theater that had a Firepower and Black Hole. One game of Firepower was completely disheartening. Has there ever been a table meaner to a first-time player? I think not. So I stepped over to Black Hole. 50 cents? No flippin' way. Tried it anyway and lasted marginally longer than I did on Firepower, but at what price? What price? 50 cents! Never again. Double the price, less than half the fun. The main local arcade didn't have pinball, it was foosball-centric. I never saw or took notice of another table for a couple of decades. One day, in 2013, during a moment of nostalgic reminiscence, I did a search for Gorgar and saw that it was included on TPA which I could play on my brand new iPad! Can't beat that! Monster Bash came with it. Eventually, after three or four days of blissful time spent with Gorgar, I tried Monster Bash. It took a while for the subtleties to sink in but it was a revelation. Attack From Mars was another great one to reel in the beginner (me) and seal the deal. I buy every season when it comes up in the iOS store. I get a kick out of most of the tables and wait patiently for Evel Knievel, Superman, Kiss. Don't tell me they're never coming; I might be sad. So, back on topic, my list is Gorgar/MB, AFM/Genie, EBD, MM/BrideOfPinbot [/QUOTE]
