Tough call. A lot of great games, I would like to play all of them again. But some sound similar and would be kind of redundant in the same collection. My choices:
1. Firepower
2. Flash
3. Pharaoh
4. Time Fantasy
5. Cosmic Gunfight or Firepower II
I noticed you didn't list Algar... |
| Playable Now: Centaur II, Doctor Who, High Speed. Playable Soon: Breakshot, Sorcerer Later: Flash, Genie, Seawitch Fondly remembered: Firepower |

1 - Firepower
2 - Black Knight
3 - Pharaoh
4 - Alien Poker
5 - Flash
I have to admit, my choices are probably more born from nostalgia rather than playability. I played all 5 of these to death back when they were new, the others not so much. |

I don't get BK.... why is this pin so popular? I find it boring for the most part compared to other games around the same time. It is such a collector's piece, and so popular though, and I just don't see why with this pin. I looks great, but I find the play rather boring compared to the others I have played. |

solar fire (I know of a GREAT one for sale locally if you want Hal!)
I guess this is what happens with low production games, nobody ever played them so they are not very interresting to most people. BK on another hand was everywhere back then, so most people probably seen or played one in their life. This has to be the reason why it is so popular (to answer Atomicboy's question), because people remember it and the nostalgia factor kicks in. |

It's a personal choice. Each person can tell you why he like it for his own reason. Perso it is my first choice for very fast gameplay, great sounds and background sound, fun magnasave to use, great challenge to keep multiball going because you must check 2 pairs of flippers (the longer you keep the balls on top playfield the better it is) and check the outholes to activate the magnasave when necessary. You must have eyes everywhere and KEEP the ball on the upper playfield, try to get the first extra-ball and try harder to get the second extra-ball |

J'ai hésiter beaucoup entre Solar Fire, Pharaoh, Barracora et Jungle Lord pour mon 4ième choix. Franchement je pourrais facilement changer les 2 derniers choix de cette liste avec beaucoup d'autre titre. Mais il est clair que Black Knight, Firepower et Cosmic Gunfight sont des choix beaucoup plus certain Il y a aussi ton offre de jungle Lord qui me travaille depuis un bout. Je vais avoir des choix et compromis a faire car j'ai atteint pas mal la limite physique des games acceptable chez-moi |

In no particular order...
Flash
Alien Poker
Scorpion
Firepower
Blackout
Any Williams with those stupid drop target countdowns is blacklisted for me. It just gets way too much on my nerves. |
