With so many pinball machines out now and only one manufacturer left, leaving most arcades to stock up on the usual Stern pinball machines, it feels like some great pins just aren't seen anymore in arcades, and collectors usually tend to gravitate to the same few pins over and over again. You can always find talk about Medieval Madness, Twilight Zone, Addams Family, or Tron: Legacy, or even find pins like Monopoly, Lord of the Rings, Batman, Iron Man, Family Guy, and Simpsons Pinball Party on a regular basis. But where does that leave all of the other pinball machines that have been made over the years? Which would you say are the most underrated pinball machines when it comes to say, going price/availability and gameplay?
Personally, I think Street Fighter II and Super Mario Bros. by Gottlieb don't get enough credit. The Premier pins don't exactly have the best rep, but I find these to be great games that aren't seen too often anymore. Trying to make a chart-topping score on one of these suckers is tough, especially with the fact that you have to learn how to make the right shot at the right time for the big points!
Which pins do you guys think have been forgotten in the sands of time?
