So.. what do you think is the slowest?  

My vote off the top of my head is IJ4.. it's not the ball that's slow, it's all the damn videos that slow play down to a halt for me.

What are your thoughts?  And do you think it's possible for a slow pin to still be a fun pin?

Simple math: the machine with the least playfield incline (Em usually), least amount of playfield coils (pop bumpers, slingshots). I would say on the average stubby flipper pre-1971 Gottlieb machines.  And yes, they are still fun. I really like 2001.


Ten SS games...but 8 is my limit!

Most DMDs give me a rash.. the games may not be slow in play, but those damn videos make them SOOO slow.  If I wanted to watch clips from a movie, I'd be watch Youtube.

Not just any EM - If you are having trouble sleeping I suggest a Bally El-Toro with weak flippers.

I think the slowest pin question needs to be broken down into the typical 3-pin genre : EM , SS and DMD.

In the SS category, Middle Earth or Hercules get my vote.

Not sure about the other 2 categories.
