Life is like Pinball!! You never know where you will bounce or where your going but sometimes you have that one amazing shot But on the other hand you have those darn gutter ball where you just get frustrated.
I think we have to consider the years and compare with pins in the same era. Take a chance with the onle comes to my brain instantly: Williams Police Force
Pins Bally: Xenon - Centaur - Fathom(Project) - Embryon(Project) Williams: Black Knight(Huo) - Firepower(Project) Gottlieb: Black Hole - Haunted House Stern: Flight 2000(Project) - Freefall(Project) - Big Game(Project) - Seawitch(Project) - Lightning(project) - Quicksilver(Project) WTB: Catacomb (In any condition) View pics here:http://www.pinballowners.com/hal-9ooo (please vote !!! )
Firepower 2 I found really bad, especially considering its predecessor.Sopranos and Austin Powers get my vote as the worst Sterns, ESPECIALLY AP..what a piece of junk.
I've noticed people on some forums say: "Anything made by Data East" or others that say "Anything made by SEGA" ...I don't have enough experience with those brands to say that though

You are on serious crack.
I know that these are just your opinion, but seriously, have you ever *played* Star Wars Trilogy, Bugs Bunny's BB, World Poker Tour, Fish Tales and Mousin' Around? I can think of waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay worse games than those. They might not be great but they hardly deserve the "worst" designation.
Jeeze FT and T3. That's kind of harsh. Other than some "shoot here" stuff going on that is mildly annoying, I can't put those games in the bottom. In fact FT I really enjoy.
Usually what people put down as bad pins on a list are the ones that commands a high price but don't deliver what people expect. Take away $ part of the equation and then it's just the pin itself.
I love the guys that say MM sucks. Well at $6700, if your not game to pay, it sounds like sour grapes. I bet at $1400 MM would be an awesome title to those same morons.
Most of the bad pins are cheap stuff I walk away from because it's boring FT and T3 are not what I would consider completely boring.
For me it would have to be a really slow playing and unattractive EM that would fall on the bottom of the list. Pretty well anything WPC or modern Stern is worth a playing... yes even Popeye and AP. I wouldn't own them, but if I paid my money to play it I would stick with the game.
Yea same thing with worst stern Sopranos and AP?? You have dogs like High Roller Casino, Striker Xtreme and Sharky's Shootout and you pick Austin Power which has at least decent theme intergration good humor if you like the movies and some really good voice calls. Or Sopranos which is actually not that bad a game, I mean come on.
finally, some sorta love for popeye, i don't know if i actually hate any machines, as i am just super happy to be able to still have some around and be able to play them, i feel lucky to be able to play any pinball machine, mind you i like the more sys 11 machines and dmd's but i've been known to throw some money into some EM's before.

That's a tough one. You have qualified the time line to the last 20 years -- 1988 and up so that's Sys 11 and newer. I haven't played all the Segas and Gottliebs, so I cann't honestly say which I feel are the worst given the time period. I have read most Segas are rather dull, but have only played one and it wasn't bad (Starship Troopers).
Might be easier to say worst Williams/Bally DMD, Sys. 11, Gottlieb, Sega, etc.
From what I have played, though, I can honestly say Cue Ball Wizard is the worst game in the last 20 years. It's hard to imagine a worse game. I mean it sucks sooooo bad. Terrible, terrible game. No flow, terrible animation, crap music, agh!

HR Casino I owned and kind of liked...but then I am a gambler. AP I've played a few times, and I'm sorry, but its just plain AWFUL..no flow..cheezy ...empty PF...it is the worst for me anyway. Sopranos was just mildly OK...I do agree with Striker Xtreme and Sharkys..those are bad games too without a doubt. Obviously everyone has different opinions...I also don't really like TZ and can't figure out what all the fuss is about it..its just OK to me. But I love BSD, and many hate it. If everyone had the same opinion the world would be an extremely boring place!
