The Data East Tales from the Crypt is awesome. People whine that it’s too hard and while IT IS a particularly hard pin, it’s gorgeous and classic to that era.
If it's in proper condition, it's great! I played it when the top flipper would push the ball into the drain and hated it. Once it was fixed, it was great!
#1 on my list is Sega Baywatch. It’s an unbelievable layout! Anyone that plays it agrees. The theme is what killed it. Don’t pass it up, play it before you hate it. 😁
Baywatch is extremely underrated,every fun game, good shots, good layout, fun mode, good music. I love the theme, nothing wrong with it, at least the theme is better than Ripley's believe it or not, I mean what kind of theme is that?😂
I loved Bad Cats growing up. I liked the simplicity. Used to have one in a Blues bar here in Baltimore and was a blast. Fish Tales and Funhouse were fun pins back then too.
Ripley's was not at my local arcade, but Monopoly and Roller Coaster Tycoon managed to suck up more than a few of my quarters. They were really good and what it was game play was simple enough for most seasoned players to get a few replays before they ran out of quarters. Ripley's was at the Pinball Hall of Fame in Las Vegas, so I popped in a couple of bucks, I didn't do too well.
I owned the x-files table for a couple of years, it's a personal favourite. Satisfying ramps, not too difficult, smashing that launch button for the tombs stretchy arm. And when you get to the final stage- Kill 'em all. Generally a fun representation (s01/s02) of the tv show.
Safecracker is pretty special. It feels like it could have started a new kind of ruleset for so many pins. But it also have quite a little fanbase, fun and great for new players, still challenging but maybe too random in the board game
Safecracker is my daughter's favorite pin! It's not my favorite simply because there are games I do like more, but I really do like Safecracker. It's a fun and interesting game that really isn't like anything else.
Great to see @joseph_kaminkow following pinball independent content creators and Lethal Weapon 3!!! Axquiring this title in 2020 got me sucked back into the hobby.
@@andrewlee88 Fun to come across these discussions - My Favorite games South Park, Jurassic Park, Check Point, Batman 1989 - are a few if the oh and 13 ball play on Apollo 13
@@josephkaminkow7408 Joe, could you share with us any notable facts you may remember, (or would rather forget) about Rocky and Bullwinkle? I acquired this title recently and it has so much detail and passion and a ton of art assets combined on a great pf layout! I mean, what was the decision to go with the hat trick in the backbox vs just a simple dmd animation? the physical saw house mech, the awesome jackpot music! I can tell the team was really into creating a game in a top shelf theme execution. I can see the passion that went into this in so many small details!! There has got to be a story here!!! I find the game still holds up well today and its a lot of fun with great flow and just the right amount of stop and go.
I was on a massive tear with LW3 back in college when my future wife appeared (125lbs of relentless pinball kryptonite) saddled up to the edge of the game and started chatting with me like I was in line at Taco Bell. Drained ball two within seconds. Ball three moments later. I hadn't even said a word to her and she was able to murder my hopes and dreams. She looked at the table, saw my game was over and said, "Hey, want to go get some lunch!?"
Yeah LW3! Such an accessible game - particularly for casual/new pinball players. I’ve had some epic beer-fuelled 4-player battles over the years on that baby!
Lethal Weapon 3 :) yes, yes, yes! The second pinball I ever bought, brand new back in '92 and again 7 years ago. Simple, over the top fun just like the 90's. I'm with you on this Greg.
My grandfather’s building is immortalized in that movie and back glass. That was the former Orlando City Hall that was blown up for the movie and he was the architect of that building back in the day.
I would put Demo-Man on that list, too. It has great flow and action, and there’s a hell of a lot going on. Modes, multiballs, two different final modes. I agree with No Fear, I often consider selling mine and then I think: uhm... no, it shoots so well!
@@steelyfan7745 , I first played it when I was 13 years old, a brand new machine and I was absolutely stunned in terms of smoothness and flow - it made other machines of that era look pale. I still like it very much, even being a wide-body - which I am not a fan of in general. I got one in almost perfect condition, very pleased with it 😍.
Demolition Man is really underrated..I own one and did a remix of the original soundtrack from the film. On pinsound it’s literally a game changer. King Heny’s remix on the community forum there..get a pinsound board you won’t regret it!!
I racked up 13 credits on a quarter on that machine its amazing how many different specials at the same time there can be lit on that simple playfield, I stopped at a bar one time after work and i only had a quarter on me, they had silver ball mania so i thought i would play one game , i racked up 5 games on that quarter, and spent the next hour or two on that machine ,LOL the good old days!
I got to agree with you on Lethal Weapon 3. I only played it a few times in an arcade that also had a Tales From the Crypt. I got to say that it feels almost as fun as Tales for me. I had never played either before going to that arcade, but I love them. Lethal Weapon 3 is now my number 1 underrated pinball machine, but I'd also say Rocky and Bullwinkle would be my number 2. Other tables I'd say are possibly underrated are Last Action Hero, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Ripley's Believe it or Not, and Junkyard. I also have to agree with your guys thoughts on Popeye and X-Files. I've never played them, but I love the themes and have watched videos on them. They look fun, especially Popeye.
Arabian Nights is my all-time favorite pin. The theming, the callouts, the music, that masterpiece of a ramp... the whole table is crammed with so many gimmicks and surprises that something fun is bound to happen no matter where the ball lands. Yet so few of those tables were made, and all the gimmicks make it so prone to break down, it's so incredibly hard to find one in good working condition. Somebody please remake Arabian Nights.
There are a couple I haven't played on there, but rock solid list. My pick is Ripleys Believe It Or Not. Kind of an oddball theme from Sterns stripped down days, but I was surprised at how deep it was. Happy New Year guys!
Ripley’s is awesome, but the only gripe I have is that, on default settings, it hands out extra balls left and right which can make games last forever.
Not interested in a re-skin of Sea Witch, and it’s also a waste of a really great theme. Primus is THE worst case scenario. A Triple re-skin?!? What a joke.....
Repetition killed this for me when I owned it. Rock rock rock and Rollergames. Rock rock rock and Rollergames. Rock rock rock and Rollergames. Rock rock rock and Rollergames. Rock rock rock and Rollergames. over and over and over.
Thanks for this. One of my favorite games from the 90's was Pinbot and until this video, I had never heard of Jackbot! I'm sprinting to vpforums to download it for my cabinet now!
When No Fear came out in the arcades in 1994, I was a pinball wizard at that pinball game, I could not miss that upper playfield ramp. I was able to score 8.9 billion on that pin-ball game. There was a guy that would always rack up high scores on various pinball games, and No Fear was the ONLY pinball game he could never beat my high score on in the time he was around this area. Popeye is an incredibly fun pinball game and I'm a bit shocked why it isn't more valuable then it is, there was one up for sale at a pinball convention in my area some years ago and they only wanted like $1300 for it which was very low for a dot matrix pin and even today they really don't go for that much still. I'd love to pick up a Popeye pin at some point if I can get it at a good price.
Meteor is my all time favorite! Haven't played it since the 80's.It was a couple blocks away from home in a local bowling alley and I absolutely became addicted to the way the music built higher and higher it would get my adrenaline dumping in time to the crescendo.It would get me in the zone and when It was time to go I gave games away. It put me in a trace! Love it and miss it still to this day.
@@steelyfan7745 Apparently there's two in the UK according to pinballinfo.com. It's a great beginner pin imo, multiball galore. I'd recommend playing one if you ever see one.
LW3 !! I've put sooooo much money in it when I was teeange !! God, how I LOVE it ! The gun features, the action of all 3 LW, the vidéos modes... Man, what a masterpiece of FUN, yes ^^ I confirm !
Do you know of any other pin that has sculpted figures like that? They mentioned we don't see that in pinballs today, but I can't even think of any other as impressive as that godzilla from any era.
@@SDTM okay so let’s say you’re not officially sponsored. That still doesn’t mean you’re not affiliated and that negative comments toward stern won’t be met with repercussions professionally. It’s okay to admit that your hands are tied and you’re not allowed to bash Stern anymore.
I've owned and loved a JP Lost World for years... i've bought and sold many pins in that time but my JPLW is still there and it's as fast and fun as ever.
I walked past No Fear so many times at my local pinball museam. It plays so well! I'm surprised that you mentioned the demogorgon needing tweaking in stranger things. I thought it was just supposed to rip you off like Sterns' Star Wars. Gotta mention Championship Pub here. It's always available at the arcades as if no one touches it. Your decision making starts right at the ball launch. And the mini games are fulfilling! Anyways, thank you for the upload!!!
Here’s my underrated list (so far) -Last Action Hero, Demolition Man, Johnny Mnemonic, Batman Forever. Yeah a lot of DE machines are underrated imo. They are just as fun as Williams of the era, just different ‘
Mark me down as one who was unimpressed with the reveal for Stranger Things, then went and played it on location several times, and am now working on adding one to my game room. Really fun game. Also agreed on No Fear, not a pretty cabinet at all but a lot of fun to shoot!
Man you almost lost me with Popeye. I had one for awhile and just couldn't get into it. You pulled me back in with Godzilla though. My uncle had one when I was a kid and is the machine that made me know I would get into pinball machines when I grew up.
It took a while, but I picked up my all time favorite. A 1988 Williams Cyclone. Next would be a Whirlwind, then maybe a L W 3 and maybe an Adams Family if prices come down.. All classic all the time.
Bro, I think the hook machine is a classic, im not sure what reception is on that one though. I know it had less skill shots up top, but the ramp loop shot was killer and the themes were awesome. Time to fly.
Well done fellas! Definitely feel the same way about Stranger Things and Radical! Gottlieb's Barb Wire was an atrocious theme but pretty underrated as well in my opinion.
I own a Lethal Weapon 3 and yes it is a simple tough pin to play. trying to get enough points to beat the high score is tough. I have owned a lot of pins, and this one makes me mad every time I play it.
I Love the POPEYE Pinball Machine, would LOVE to find one! i leased it last year and loved it! Stranger Things /puke, Hate that machine with a passion, almost hate it as much as TMNT!
OMG, I unpaused this video and it was at the end when you said "Go buy a pinball machine you owe it to yourself". I am so close!!!! I hope my wife won't flip out! I really want to start my own barcade to be honest....
What about The Bride Of Pin*Bot? What about F-14 Tomcat? How about Gottlieb's The Black Hole, Rock Encore and Williams's Black Knight? I'm disappointed.
I once got a Dr. Who. A decade ago, there were always 3 pins in my living, swapping them once in a while. The Stargate I was about to pick up broke, so I chose another one.) I didn´t think too much of it, but it was the one I never replaced. The backglass art was terrible, but the gameplay was very exiting. Awesome soundtrack, nostalgia, and funny dot matrix action. No regrets.
I also think it's Lethal Weapon 3. All Data East machines are interesting and well made. I think Star Trek is also interesting, but there are few sites introducing it.
Agree. I have a Gottlieb Wipeout and it gets played a ton out of my 10 machines. Easy to complete the various routines and the ski lift and slalom is cool!
Right on the money, Jack*Bot is a player's game. Forgot to mention the "cheat" function, pretty unique and definitely a surprise when you spring it on someone on location.
What are the parameters even? The bracket that Final Round did to goof on Stern's "March Madness" bracket were host-selected games and this one ending right now was listener submitted games, but they all had to be
I was with you all the way until you mentioned Jackbot. My first two pinball games were a Twilight Zone AND a Jackbot I bought on the same day in 1998. The Twilight Zone is still my favorite pin of all time and the Jackbot got sold off in less than a year. It got boring real fast and I never played it after the first three months. With all that I have to admit the game was sold to the first guy that I told I was selling it. Thanks for heads up on Wonka. I love me some Lawlor pinball.

took me 12 years to get hold of my underrated pin. the original Black Knight. just love it
Such a good pin, I’ve had mine for 12 years. The only pin my wife plays.
I played a lot of Black Knight in my local arcade, it seemed to me it got a decent amount of play. Very good game play.
amazing game

Agree on Wonka. Have over 2000 games played on my CE, not one issue and still just as exciting as out of the box. Love it!
LW3 was my first pin. 800 bucks. Loved it! The gun requires you to shoot the bad guy during play. Multi tasking. The fight mode is awesome.
I had one one of the coolest pinballs ever

Ripley's for sure. Less crazy about the other two. All three are Pat Lawlor games, so I'm guessing you're a fan :)
Monopoly is so good.

A buddy has no fear. It is such a fun game.
All 44 Sega and Data East machines are underrated.😢
My favorites as a teen back in the early 80s were Eight Ball Deluxe & Haunted House.
Pretty games!
Haunted House is a game I considered adding to my pinball bank, lower field played in reverse. I did drop in a couple bucks whenever I saw it.
Yea man. 8 ball deluxe I spent a whole summer playing that played forever 4 a quarter

- Shooting Gallery

- Countdown Shot

Man, I want the Beatles. It just looks beautiful, was my dad’s favorite band especially the earlier works. Will be in my collection one day.

Agreed on Popeye...it is at the top of my wanted list for old Bally machines..I keep looking!
It took a while, but I picked up my all time favorite. A 1988 Williams Cyclone. Next would be a Whirlwind, then maybe a L W 3 and maybe an Adams Family if prices come down.. All classic all the time.
Bro, I think the hook machine is a classic, im not sure what reception is on that one though. I know it had less skill shots up top, but the ramp loop shot was killer and the themes were awesome. Time to fly.
Grew up with No Fear in my basement. I want another one because its just a fun and easy ruleset but is constantly rewarding.
Well done fellas! Definitely feel the same way about Stranger Things and Radical! Gottlieb's Barb Wire was an atrocious theme but pretty underrated as well in my opinion.
I owned a HUO X Files for 13 years loved it!
I've had this HUO X-Files for 5 years and I still love it too!
I am really trying to sell it tho...I just need something new
@@steelyfan7745 l traded mine for a ST LE.
@@t.c.bowling1934 star trek??? can you introduce me to these people! 🤣
@@steelyfan7745 Stranger Things
Shows awesomeness 👏
Hell yeah thanks bud
Lethal Weapon 3 is a great game and I completely forgot about it before watching this.
Interesting list. At first I thought...oh no...they're just picking new pins....you surprised me. Very nice pics near the top.
always great to hear you guys , and yes i like stranger things , agree
No Fear is awesome. Lifetime to master.
I played Meteor... it is so damn good!
I own a Lethal Weapon 3 and yes it is a simple tough pin to play. trying to get enough points to beat the high score is tough. I have owned a lot of pins, and this one makes me mad every time I play it.
Reminds me of Hurricane. SDTM always on that one.
I Love the POPEYE Pinball Machine, would LOVE to find one! i leased it last year and loved it!
Stranger Things /puke, Hate that machine with a passion, almost hate it as much as TMNT!
I got a stern godzilla. Just got 509M last night.
Guys, check your playlist for the top 10. Some random videos got in and I have no idea how.
100% agree on No Fear
OMG, I unpaused this video and it was at the end when you said "Go buy a pinball machine you owe it to yourself". I am so close!!!! I hope my wife won't flip out! I really want to start my own barcade to be honest....

Last Action Hero > LW3 but Data East are pretty underrated
LAH is a good choice we agree
Totally agree!!! I love mine!!
What about The Bride Of Pin*Bot? What about F-14 Tomcat? How about Gottlieb's The Black Hole, Rock Encore and Williams's Black Knight? I'm disappointed.
How are you guys feeling about Houdini these days? I'm surprised it wasn't on this list.
Howabout Mustang and its epic ending?
I once got a Dr. Who. A decade ago, there were always 3 pins in my living, swapping them once in a while. The Stargate I was about to pick up broke, so I chose another one.)
I didn´t think too much of it, but it was the one I never replaced. The backglass art was terrible, but the gameplay was very exiting. Awesome soundtrack, nostalgia, and funny dot matrix action. No regrets.
I love Dr Who and I love Stargate, I never hear a thing about either but they sure are good tables.
I also think it's Lethal Weapon 3. All Data East machines are interesting and well made. I think Star Trek is also interesting, but there are few sites introducing it.
Yay, pinball Boxing Day video
I used to own a Lethal Weapon 3 about 15 years ago and I still kick myself today for getting rid of it
No Gottlieb? Doesn't seem like Gottlieb ever gets any love 🤣
Agree. I have a Gottlieb Wipeout and it gets played a ton out of my 10 machines. Easy to complete the various routines and the ski lift and slalom is cool!
@@richa9719 I have a Gottlieb Arena. Tons of replay value! Music is awesome on this machine!
Robo War, Surf N Safari, Diamond Lady, Class of 1812, Hot Shots, Bad Girls! Gottlieb, represent!
Cactus Jack's is just plain goofy fun too
@@jeffjacobson59 I love Cue Ball Wizard, but the scoring is horribly unbalanced unfortunately.
Right on the money, Jack*Bot is a player's game. Forgot to mention the "cheat" function, pretty unique and definitely a surprise when you spring it on someone on location.
The bowling alley had #1 and I loved it.
That’s wild the alley I grew up in had one too
Lol might be the same place. Ohio?
Zac H southern Indiana
@@SDTM awesome not too far away. They also had Bride of Pinbot. I’d love you get one someday but they seem to be hard to find these days.
Great video! Very entertaining. You guys mention pricing of games a few times; where are the best places to find pins for sale?
What are the parameters even? The bracket that Final Round did to goof on Stern's "March Madness" bracket were host-selected games and this one ending right now was listener submitted games, but they all had to be
Appreciate the feedback. Our goal is to always have fun
Blackout. Old school.
LW3. Mines never leaving.
Glad to see no fear on here, lethal weapon looks good too. 👍
LoL zach is literally responsible raising the prices of popeyes by $1k. But i agree its definitely underrated.
Absolutely LOVE my J*B!!! Its bolted to my floor.... NEVER leaving my house!!!!
I was with you all the way until you mentioned Jackbot. My first two pinball games were a Twilight Zone AND a Jackbot I bought on the same day in 1998. The Twilight Zone is still my favorite pin of all time and the Jackbot got sold off in less than a year. It got boring real fast and I never played it after the first three months. With all that I have to admit the game was sold to the first guy that I told I was selling it. Thanks for heads up on Wonka. I love me some Lawlor pinball.
I've got a Jungle princess machine that I've played when I was 5. RIP dad.
All Classic early 80's Stern pinball like METEOR , GALAXY, FLIGHT 2000, FREEFALL, VIPER & ORBITOR 1 is all Rare and Unique Pinball Machines
