In response to your mention that "pinballs are in and video is out",
I have to agree -- the price of video games have dropped to a point
at or below pinball machines.  The newer pins are going for up to 3
times their original cost (of say, one year ago).

I would like nominate Flash as the best "transitition" pin because of
it's interesting layout, good sound (no voice) and (because its
a Williams) its reliability (drop targets being the only offender in it).

Xenon is pretty sick.

For worst sound -- Sharpshooter.  The old style BEEPs and BOOPS make
you wish that electronics had never happened, at least not within hearing
distance!

Uhm, being a newcomer to this rolling silver mess, I don't have much else
to say.
