Quoted from Jewmangi202:The drift is real for sure and as others have pointed out the Pro feels like such a step behind from the premium/LE.
Pro moved up to #108
Progress
1 week later
They had a new point release last week, and the game rocketed up two more spots. It is now version 0.88. If present trends continue, version 1.0 game should debut at -4 of the top 100
Quoted from JakeFAttie:I know, I know, the top 100 doesn't mean anything.
You felt compelled to make another top 100 thread that doesn't mean anything?
I guess the big news this week is Mustang fell 11 spots! ouch.
otherwise Jaws climbed up two spots and Elton John and Monster Bash switched spots at 9 and 10.
Hardbody still needs six more ratings! come on folks, you don't have to play it to rate it! Give it a 10, like Bo Derek
And before you ask, like the gangs of LA, this post will never die, just multiply.

It's a kind of Dadaesque response to existentialism; in a world without meaning the only thing that makes sense is top 100 pinball lists.
Hardbody will feature in the Ladies' bank at the Allentown pinfest tournament this weekend. Oughta bump it up a few spots.
I played Jaws this weekend past in Florida, and I enjoyed it. I think it's fair to say it's a good game but there are 19 games that are better.
Quoted from CrazyLevi:I think it's fair to say it's a good game but there are 19 games that are better.
All joking aside, it's not better than twd, it's not better than batman 66, it's not better than shadow, it's not better than star trek (either sttng or stern). But never the less, on pinside if a game isn't number one, somehow it's a failure.

Can I just say Dr. Dude at 231 is much better than the similarly crazy red haired protagonist Party Zone at 188.
I'm downright livid about it.

They are both terrible games!!
I like the concept and art but the layouts are BAAAAD...especially Dr. Dude!
The Rankings get it right again!

Of course they are terrible, but I require that my terrible games be ranked correctly.
And the concepts are also terrible.

In the early 90s they seemed oddball and interesting therefore all companies should be trying to do the same thing in 2024!
American Pinball's highest rated game is Valhalla, a game they didn't even make, at 92. Hot Wheels is next at 100. Doing a quick calculation of Galactic Tank Force, which isn't ranked yet, it would end up replacing Hot Wheels at 100.
Their games are definitely not this bad.
Though I guess it's kind of charming and refreshing they haven't budgeted for paid shills.

How does one apply to become a paid shill? Have you seen how expensive games have gotten? I gotta afford them somehow

Meh....
Quoted from TreyBo69:How does one apply to become a paid shill? Have you seen how expensive games have gotten? I gotta afford them somehow
I'm assuming it's important to not naturally be that into any of the manufacturers so one of them is more likely to tap you on the shoulder, or else you are doing it gratis.
20 is a good spot for the time being, but I will say that Jaws is a better game & better shooter than Deadpool or Stranger Things…and I own both of those games!

Seems about right to me tbh
Quoted from stubborngamer:Their games are definitely not this bad.
This bad? As someone who appreciates pinball all the way back to pre-war bagatelles, top 100 all-time is rarefied air to me. If anything, I'd say they're overrated at 92 and 100. I can walk through the VFW and play hundreds of games I enjoy more than any American game.
Quoted from MacGruber:Pulp fiction SE made its debut at #27
Pulp Fiction is surprisingly fun, not sure on it’s longevity tho.
Played a Jaws premium this weekend for the first time. Liked it quite a bit more than the pro. But, then again, I like upper PFs when they're done well. This one was.
It's pretty clear that if Stern ever has to downsize significantly, Elwin will be the last designer standing.
I bought a Jaws pro at Allentown, and suddenly I care very deeply about all of this, and I apologize for slighting those who post about the 100 and take it seriously. You cannot take this stuff too seriously, it's not possible.
Basically, I will be living or dying on the Pinside 100 ranking of this game, and as soon as I can figure out how to do it will be rating Jaws #1 and every other game ever made will be getting destroyed in the ratings by my keyboard.
Ive suddenly come to realize that if you don't care about this stuff, you are a moron, and if you don't intertwine your self-worth with the pinball rankings of the games you own, you have zero perspective or self-awareness.
So AFM, MM, Godzilla...all of you overrated shitbags; I'm coming for you baby!!! Your run is over, as I'm making it my life's mission to destroy you.
Kindly eat shit and die all games that aren't Jaws, and that's a NICE thing to say compared to how I feel about you people who aren't ranking Jaws highly. And once I figure this flagging business out, ALL of your reviews of other games are in for a very long week.
Good day to all of you.

I'm glad you finally came to your sense. Your financial and mental health depend on this game getting to at least the top 10 of all time. Any enjoyment of the game is fleeting. Monies and leaderboards are forever. Just ask Ozymandias
Quoted from CrazyLevi:I bought a Jaws pro at Allentown, and suddenly I care very deeply about all of this....
Take it to the Pro vs Prem thread buddy!!

Lol, indeed. The hell with meditation and helping your fellow man, as long as you own the number 1 pinball game in the world, you will feel great about yourself and look down on the loosers who don't own it, which really helps in feeling great, right???
Quoted from tgarrett09:Can we make this an Elton John thread now? That pin is in for a wild ride
Rebrand the thread as the hot movers in the top 100. Like Dick Clark’s whatever thing he did with pop
Music.

Elton Jaws.

With that criteria Elton is the goat.

This post was almost perfect…almost. Just needed the Willy Wonka
“I SAID GOOD DAY, SIR!” gif at the end.
womp womp better luck next time
Jaws stays the course at 18. Pinside smacks Elton John down 8 spots. And Labyrinth premiers at number 3 on the all time great list (for now).
Yeah, a big week for the top 100! Labyrinth shows up strong at position number 3! and Elton is pummeled out of the top 10 to position #11. Jaws is beached at #18. With Wick announced and attention turning to what's next from Stern, I doubt we will see much more radical movement from Jaws. Also Bond fell four and Pulp Fiction fell five (to #32).
I like Labyrinth, it's a great theme for pinball and it feels like you are getting your money's worth on the playfield. More than that it's just nice to see a new pinball company show up and hit a home-run on their first at bat. I doubt Barrel of Fun is as polarizing as Stern at this point so I wonder if folks are going to feel the need to review bomb it down the list by next week? (But, let's be honest, is it really the third greatest pinball game of all time? Does it even belong in the top 10?).
And speaking of poor Keanu, any bets on where that's going to debut? Pretty low I'm guessing based on the general animosity toward it's art package. :-/
I think Labyrinth is fine. It's possibly the best first game out of a new manufacturer. But def not top ten. Top 50 of all time, sure. Maybe even top 30 of all time.
John Wick will be a blood bath of self righteous anger.
So… out of curiosity, is there a cap on the number of times a thread can get renamed? I mean… does this thread have a point or is this some sort of organic/dynamic way to get as many posts associated with your username as possible?

Apparently not!
But I do think the point of this thread has finally been accurately captured in the new name; endless (pointless) micro-analysis of the top 100. You are always more than welcome not to participate. Or to come here and bitch how much you hate this thread! All forms of passive-aggression are welcome here!
And remember folks, downvotes are free!
Quoted from Only_Pinball:Labyrinth at number 3 shows how broken the 100 really is IMO.
There are three rotating cabbage patch dolls on the top of the game so I think it's appropriate.

Sick topper brah

Maybe Barrels of Fun will do a Chucky pinball machine next...
Quoted from dboeren:I'm hoping they'll do Muppet Show and have animated Statler & Waldorf figures that heckle you from the backbox.
that would be AWESOME!
