what pin,do you think has been overlooked by players?
for me its williams phoenix. an early ss game that imo is just loads of fun.
 
Whitewater. Phenomenal game but still affordable - unless you want to restore it, then it gets expensive.

Genesis. Maybe not most underrated but overlooked by many due to the weird theme.

Funny you should mention Genesis, I have an opportunity to pick one up for 300.00. Don't know anything about it. The Translite is campy, overall , how is the game play?
 
I'll one up Lindsey and say most of the Gottlieb/Premier pins are underrated. Genesis is a perfect example; I'll also add Victory, TX Sector, Bounty Hunter and Rock..... I played A Rock Encore this past weekend=Awesome!
 
Bally's Lost World. I feel it get's overshadowed by it's brother Paragon. It's a simple SS pin, but it's fun and the artwork is exceptional.
 
what about who dunnit? i know it's typically ranked top 100, but i think it's waaaaaaaay better than the typical review of it goes.
 
I don't have a ton of experience with pins but Secret Service gets very little love and the game is a blast to play. Sure, the back-glass translight is ALMOST as bad as Raven, but the playfield art is fun ... and the light show is one of the better ones out there.
 
I think the Williams' Congo from 1995 is underrated as well. The cab artwork is not the greatest but very fun to play. I love the volcano eruption for the multiball and the gorilla below the playfield is sort of neat and different too.
