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.

took me 12 years to get hold of my underrated pin. the original Black Knight. just love it

Love y'all's chemistry. This is the most fun pinball series on youtube

Great video guys!!! Always enjoy them.

Ripley’s, Monopoly and Coster Tycoon come to mind. All excellent games with some of the weirdest shots in pinball.

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.

You had me at Radical, Jackbot, and No Fear. You lost me at Beatles, Stranger Things, and LW3😂😂 Great insight as always guys. Thanks!

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.

#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. 😁

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

Clicked on the video thinking of No Fear, and I was glad to see it on the list.

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!

Original HIGH SPeED should be absolutely on a list .

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.

All 44 Sega and Data East machines are underrated.😢

Thanks for the comments on Lethal Weapon 3 - Joe Kaminkow

Thanks for the video.

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!?"

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!

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!!!

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!

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.

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.

Proud pwner of a LW3.. although I like the new code that just came out... I wouldve had to add Rollergames on the list as well

Have yet to play a Popeye! Wouldn’t own one though... but Radical.... WANT. The freaking Theme and colors is just pure amazement to my eyes!

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.

A buddy has no fear. It is such a fun game.

LW3 is an absolute BEAST: - Shooting Gallery - Fight Mode - Countdown Shot Perfect Number One Pick

My favorites as a teen back in the early 80s were Eight Ball Deluxe & Haunted House.

Glad I watched this video before the Golden State Expo. Got to play a Radical there and it was amazing!

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!

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 !

1,000% agree with Godzilla. Played that one for the first time 2 years ago, wish it was still available locally. LOVED playing that table.

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!

I personally think Rollergames is a very underrated pinball game

Good list. Didn't know meteor was under rated! =)

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!

Agree 100% on Godzilla. Stacking the MB's is so much fun, bringing them in one by one. That ramp! One the absolute best ramps in pinball!

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.

Great video! Very entertaining. You guys mention pricing of games a few times; where are the best places to find pins for sale?

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.

Right off the bat Beatles isnt underrated its OVERPRICED. Everybody likes the game. its just the price.

Interesting list. At first I thought...oh no...they're just picking new pins....you surprised me. Very nice pics near the top.

I just got LW3 yesterday. So happy...need some love to shine again, but we'll get there.

Do most overrated next.

Godzilla is my first pin, paid £2300 for it earlier this month. Delighted with it.

Just sold my No Fear (after 3 years owning it) Was my first pin. I deeply regret having to sell it !!!

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.

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 ‘

Guys, check your playlist for the top 10. Some random videos got in and I have no idea how.

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.

I love my Jackbot! It was my first pin.

Agreed on Popeye...it is at the top of my wanted list for old Bally machines..I keep looking!

Glad to see no fear on here, lethal weapon looks good too. 👍

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.

always great to hear you guys , and yes i like stranger things , agree

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.

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....

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.

I own about 20 or so arcade cabinets, rotated at a time. Looking to grab my 1st pin. Trying to decide between TNMT pro, deadpool pro or Avengers premium. Which way would you go if you could only have 1?

They have LW3 at my local arcade and it’s a lot of fun

I played Meteor... it is so damn good!

100% agree on No Fear

Just found you guys, now I’m on a video watching rampage ! Lol .. I hope to own a pinball machine 1 day !! Keep it up guys !

Sopranos gets my vote.

Shows awesomeness 👏

I've ordered a godzilla premium through betson back in December 2021. It's June. Are you aware of a production issue. Also I'm starting to see videos and articles about reliability with the new stern machines. Do you recommend stern?

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!

Lethal Weapon 3 is a great game and I completely forgot about it before watching this.

I owned a HUO X Files for 13 years loved it!

High Roller Casino has my vote as underrated it is just a fun machine !

Yay, pinball Boxing Day video

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 had a No Fear t-shirt! Don't judge me 😂

On a side note,,,, What is going on with the coin door of your Black Arrow? I can not tell what that is. Is it a mod and is it available?

Godzilla is a good play. Wonka is fun, but a very unforgiving..brutal pin. What is on the front of your Hobbit coin door? Smaug light? Looks cool. Where can I get one?

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.

Great video. The beatles though. I can't see buying at half the price. They are gathering dust in lots of distributors warehouses still.

for me its Judge Dredd

No Fear is awesome. Lifetime to master.

Last Action Hero by DataEast never gets the love it deserves

Demolition Man is very underrated also

Watching and waiting for Pin2000.... :)

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.

I thought that was a popeye back there! I always get shit on for wanting one.. is the scoring unbalanced for tournaments?

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 would have listed Dialed in and Transformers.

Convince me that the purpose of this video isn't to help you sell the bad pins you guys are stuck with. hahaha

Most underrated pins in no particular order: 1. Space Invaders 2. Frontier 3. Mars God of War 4. Stars 5. Big Game 6. Embryo 7. Centaur 8. Flash Gordon 9. Firepower 10. Space Shuttle Meteor, Gorgar, Silverball Mania, Eight Ball Deluxe, Medusa

GREAT show as always guys. I am so conflicted though about getting a Wonka. I know it gets a lot of love by owners and you guys but out of all the videos I watch on it, the damn thing to me is like fingernails on a chalkboard when it comes to the sounds, music, call outs etc. It annoys the hell out of me. And I do love the movie. It is like the new GNR. What an amazing looking machine but I HATE GNR music with a passion so will never come close to owning one. Too bad too because the integration of the guitar stocks, drum sticks, light shows etc are simply genius.

Hmm had a chance to play Beatles recently and I didn't like the aesthetics of it. It's looked like an old-style pinball with just drop targets and not much else. Now that you mentioned that there's more to the table, I may have to take another look. I don't think you guys play Pinball FX often but there is a Marvel Table (X-men) that didn't look like much but has so much depth to it. It became one of my favorite Marvel Tables alongside Fear Itself and Infinity Gauntlet Really liked Stranger Things. Again another table I had a chance to play recently How can you guys afford these tables?

How are you guys feeling about Houdini these days? I'm surprised it wasn't on this list.

Is the Beatles uncommon? I can't find it and it seems to get used for tourney play a lot.

Howabout Mustang and its epic ending?

Can you post in the top links to your sponsors please?

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.

I've got a Jungle princess machine that I've played when I was 5. RIP dad.

The bowling alley had #1 and I loved it.

All Classic early 80's Stern pinball like METEOR , GALAXY, FLIGHT 2000, FREEFALL, VIPER & ORBITOR 1 is all Rare and Unique Pinball Machines

I got a stern godzilla. Just got 509M last night.
