[QUOTE="k88dad, post: 250101, member: 1506"] Let's see... quality, fun, and replay value... hmm... It's pretty much Season 1, Centaur and EBD in the running. In order of [B][I]release[/I][/B], I'd go with: 1. [B]Cirqus Voltaire/Fun House[/B] — these have some complexity to their rulesets for replay value, appealing sounds/heckling/visuals [I][B]and[/B][/I] you get Rudy [B][I]plus[/I][/B] the Ringmaster (an absolute no-brainer) 2. [B]Gorgar/Monster Bash[/B] — one challenges you in an old-school way, and one has a delightful combination of music, monsters, humor and a quirky ruleset — Gorgar's 7-word vocabulary, the long shot to the pit, the playfield artwork flat-out stolen from fantasy artist Boris Vallejo, and the ever-faster ambient heartbeat add up to a classic — MM is funnier, but the music/monster theme of MB is compelling for me 3. [B]Attack from Mars/Genie[/B] — AFM may be the best beginner table, and I personally enjoy the widebody brutality of Genie 4. [B]Eight Ball Deluxe[/B] — EBD is the ultimate player's table, bar none (again, a no-brainer) That leaves an honorable mention for Centaur/PIN•BOT. The fun of the multiball and theme of Centaur made this close. Sadly, the weakest of the BOT trilogy did not help its case. [/QUOTE]
