Where were you in the 70’s? I never played a Gottlieb in the 70’s without at least on dead flipper. Where is Bally’s Fireball, Wizard, Capt. Fantastic and Mata Hari? I’ll put them up against any of these machines as the best of the 70’s. 🖖🏼

I was so confused when you were showing Eye of the Tiger but I was sure that was Sinbad! I looked it up and it turns out it's the same game, but Eye of the Tiger is 2 player and Sinbad is 4 player. Nice list but needs more Genie! (I'm biased)

Thanks Kevin.. this was really cool.. I mean.. I would play once in a blue moon; at like a Pizza joint back in the day.. but even though I am not an enthusiast for this.. It was very entertaining.. You are great at the breakdowns. Very cool.. I'm sure you have seen this movie, based on this video.. but if not.. you should check out the movie Pinball: The Man who Saved the Game.. Amazing true story.. I'm sure you already know. I thought it was pretty good, and loved that it was a true story. Anyway.. hope all is well. Wishing the family all the best. Take Care and God Bless

"The 70s were a golden age for pinball. Gottlieb, Bally, and Williams were battling it out to create the most challenging, addictive, and downright stylish machines. These aren’t just games-they’re works of art that defined the decade. According to the Pinside community, these 10 tables are the best of the best. Let’s dive in, flip some flippers, and see why these classics stand the test of time." ### **#10: Chicago Coin 1976 - *Cinema*** ### **#9: Gottlieb 1977 - *Jet Spin*** ### **#8: Gottlieb 1978 - *Eye of the Tiger*** ### **#7: Gottlieb 1975 - *Atlantis*** ### **#6: Bally 1971 - *Sea Ray*** ### **#5: Gottlieb 1977 - *Centigrade 37*** ###**#4: Bally 1970 - Trail Drive ### **#3: Gottlieb 1972 - *Pop-a-Card*** ### **#2: Williams 1972 - *Olympic Hockey*** ### **#1: Gottlieb 1975 - *Abra Ca Dabra*** "And that’s the 70s-where pinball art and gameplay came together in ways we’re still talking about today. Did your favorite make the list? Let me know in the comments. Until next time, keep flipping, and remember, the left outlane is always waiting!"

Mr. Cornucopia o' Metaphors, you've got an open invitation to review the EM's at my pinball B&B when it is finally ready. Glad to see the old gals getting some KZbin love. But as for Pinside's EM rankings... not one of these are even in my top 20. Good games, but best? Neuooooooooo. No. No way. Nein. Nuh uh. The crowd knows nussing. Nussing at all. Not even close. It's like the list was chosen by AI scraping the blogs of EM maintenance techs in their 90's reliving the good old days.

AIQ is great (I own it), but not a top 10. PinSide ratings are bogus because people who buy the machine need to justify their purchase and inflate the ratings. There's tons of 10.0 ratings on machines for that reason alone. Kick out all 9.9 and higher ratings, and ratings with no comment explaining why they rated the machine the way they did, and you'll see a much different picture.

As you might already know , there´s a video called: "Terrific Lake Pinball. some call it Terror Lake" by TiltingT Pinball, of this pinball. I was lucky to grow surrounded by this one , Faeton, Odin ... It is like a indelible mark on your memories. The skull, the girl, those faces ... i wish i could know the name of the artist and see if i can find some more art from him/her?. Anyway... thank you for the video.Nicely done mate.
