Let's be clear here...this is YOUR Top 25 List, not based on IPDB or other such community driven ratings sites.

 

But, I'll bite, and chose TOTAN just for it's pure uniqueness and innovation/theme.

 

I was gonna choose T2, but then how many tables have copied it, like the AC/DC one, etc.???

I'm still a newbie so I haven't played too many

but Cirqus Voltaire, Monster Bash, Attack from Mars and Big Shot are mine so far.

Cactus Jack's is also pretty good but it gets uh, grating after a while.

LOL..this whole "TAF" is overrated thing is ridiculous and one of those rolling snowballs on the internet.  I remember running into a forum thread somewhere that was dedicated to how much the Beatles were overrated too.  Of course, the consensus was that they didn't like the Beatles, therefore they had to be overrated.  Sounds familiar to me.  

 

However, the true answer to the greatest pinball game of all time is..............  whichever one you personally enjoy the most.

those are great, oth they are all 80s and 90s SS tables.

would be nice if the forum payed a little more attention to the EMs from the 70s and early 80s.

these were at the arcades and bowling alleys.

the 70s introduced drop targets and spinners.

it was a lot of fun chasing the drop targets for the xtraball/special and jet through the spinners 

when lit for big points.

after some years went by they got played out.

We have tons of tables here from the 70's and early 80's
I dont think i have made a table newer than 1984?

Though i dont think you will find many EM from the 80's
EM was on its way out in the 70's with solid state transistorized controllers coming out in everything.

For virtual I vote Funhouse. Good flow, fun toys, and Rudy endlessly cracks me up. Love the whole concept. I've played it so many times on PBA, Zen, and VPX; and I can't get sick of it.

 

But, whenever I see one in real life it's broken in some way. Rudy is slack-jawed, my ball gets stuck unless I tilt the machine, or some component flies off. These plays are all at pinball parlors and museums (passionate operators are running the place). Seems like a real pill to upkeep.

 

I don't know if I've ever gotten "Frenzy" on the real machine. Last time I played (~2 months ago) my 3rd ball got stuck right before I had a chance to make the shot.

 

I can't pick a favorite real machine, but the Gottlieb EMs always suck me in.
