In your collection, which pin do you feel is the most underrated?

For me, it's Pinball Magic. Everything about this machine is high-quality, and it's so very fun to play. The longer I have it, the more I love it.

Due to the scarcity of the table, perhaps it isn't more talked about because most people haven't had a chance to play it. Whatever the case, it rarely shows up on anybody's favorites list, and that just seems wrong.

Also, Capcom flippers are frickin' epic. ;)
 
Bride of Pinbot.

It gets ignored at the end of the row until people eventually give it a try because the others are occupied. By the end of the night it's usually rocking 4-player games and everybody is impressed.

It's pinball magic for me, too. A great game. I think it is just as good as TOM. Perhaps the best toys in all of pinball. I love it. Only drawback for me is the linear nature of the game. But very underrated in my opinion.

Maybe I should add Pinball Magic to my want list!!!
Love the magic theme.

I think maybe Tommy or No Good Gofers.

Tommy, because most collectors go "ew, Data East"...but it's got a decent design w/ lots of shots, flow, modes, great music, and the blinders are a cool feature.

Gofers seems like it's the "forgotten" game in WPC'95 series. Well, not as much as NBAFB....but while games like MM, MB, CV go for crazy money, Gofers stays reasonably priced....I think it's more fun than any of the expensive games. It's fast, fun, and funny! Great game.
 
I am going to go with EM's in general, everyone says how boring they are. I have had quite a few and once I get someone playing them they are hooked.
 
I've only got 4.

Monday Night Football
Xenon
Black Knight
Gottlieb "Now"

My favorite is MNF. Lots of action and two ways to keep score. Pinball score and football. We always decide how we are going to determine the winner before the game starts. It makes a difference on how you play. Plus it was my first, so it holds a special place. :)

Out of my collection, I would say that Apollo 13 is the most under rated game. I think it is the best Sega pin. It has a great theme, cool toys, good voice calls, and a variety of different shots.
 
cant remember playing apollo 13 , but 13 multi is intriguing

also would have to ask if anyone would consider gnr in this discussion
 
Tommy, for sure. It'll be the last one to leave my place. I've get a few of the A-list titles, I like Tommy better than any of them. I've had it a few years, actually just got to pinball wizard last week for the 1st time.
Pinball Magic is definitly underrated, it's on my 'short list'. NGG is a fun, underrated game, really entertaining.

Most definitely Baywatch in my collection. Most people write it off immediately (1. Sega, 2. Laughable Theme), but it has great rule depth, an excellent video mode, fun modes and many, many shots. If you ever get a chance to play one, do so. Most people I know who have given it some time really like it.

or maybe for a young pamela anderson
 
I would think Tommy and GnR get a decent amount of love. They certainly command enough of a price. You're always going to have Data East haters, though. I also think BoP is a good game and gets a fair amount of love, just everyone thinks it's a one shot game and well... it kinda is. I agree Apollo 13 Sega's best offering, but Capcom's Pinball Magic is really fantastic! I would have to think that it doesn't get much respect because most people have not played it. I sure would love to find one.
My most underrated game would have to be Mystery Castle. I honestly think this game is up there with the best, but so few were produced that like Pinball Magic too few people have played one. If you like horror themes you will go gaga over this one.
