[DRANO]

Yeah, that's pretty terrible.
I can see FH and MM but not sure how those others are rated? And, I'm a huge TAF fan but still wouldn't put it in any top 10 list. Well... maybe at #10

My top 10 changes with the seasons... I find these lists are useless because when it comes right down to it, they are all subjective.

It does create interesting conversation though!

LOL! I think I'd take a Ripleys or BH over half the games on your list Kevin
And that's why Menace is bang on. These lists are highly subjective and pretty pointless. There are folks that just hate modern pins and their top ten wouldn't have anything past 1987. A top 10 list could be biased towards so many different things.

Look at your selection of JPOP games. While everyone agrees they are beautiful machines, most pinheads would consider them too 'thin' and the rules too unbalanced to make that list. It's certainly a "baller's" top 10 tough

If I had to take a really hard look at my collection and what 10 game combination I would keep, it would be to create the best mix of different eras that I enjoy and games I just love (maybe for theme, gameplay, art/music etc). Rarity might also come into play because I'd want to keep games that I know would be harder to replace than the ones I'd be letting go. Things might look something like this:

Addams Family
High Speed
Tron
Banzai Run
Star Gazer or Quicksilver?
Eight Ball
Fun House
Williams Heat Wave
Centigrade 37
Joker Poker

Many people would look at my collection and laugh at some of these choices... but there you have it.

I have to agree with on Centigrade 37, that game is awesome and in my want list. One of my favorite in terms of art too.
