Poll:What is your favorite pinball era ?

big surprise at the results





NOT

I wonder which one Adam voted for..  

EM's of course.  

Quoted from Vengeance

EM's of course.  

And here I thought it would be pre-war Bingo machines?

Quoted from Monkeybug

And here I thought it would be pre-war Bingo machines?

I would have but it wasn't an option.  

That's a two-fold question....

My favorite "ERA" was the 80's when Arcades ruled.

FirePower, BK and Gorgar (early 80's SS) had a lasting impact on me.

High Speed and Pinbot were long-time favorite later in that decade

I really enjoyed playing pins in arcade during the 80's.

So the best "ERA" of pinball for me was 80's.

As for which pins I like most NOW, it's the newer stuff (DMDs / Pin2K) will all the toys.

So depending on the intent of the question, I have two answers.

Best "ERA" :  80's arcade pins

Best "Pins" :  Newer DMD Stuff

I'm confused. At what point did you become a lawyer or politician. That's about as indecisive as you can get. Why not have a most fun to tilt category and best flipper button category in there too.

I'm sorry if all those big 4-5 letter words confused you Necro,
I'll try to use less "legal-eze" next time...  

What part of "ERA" don't you understand ... ?

I most enjoyed playing pins during the 80's  (...that's an "ERA" ).

But given the choice of pins to play now, I'd choose DMDs.
... although I find playing in my games room does not have as much "excitement"
and when I played pinballs in the arcades...

Sheeessssh,... I never thought I'd have to explain that so plainly...
