Changes from time to time.

Currently:

Creature From The Black Lagoon, Stern Godzilla Premium, and Stern Lord of the Rings. Honorable Mention : Spanish Eyes.
 
Funhouse.

It is what brought me to pinball in late 90 early 91.
Have a nice example since 2002. I'll probably be buried it in.
 
Back in the day when I was a tech I used to play pinball on my breaks and would rotate between Theater of Magic, Addams Family, and Attack from Mars. with the occasional game of Simpsons Party, Star Trek TNG, or The Getaway.

More recently I've actually really started to appreciate some of the more simple B-Tier games like (DE) Jurassic Park, Starship Troopers, Genesis, Batman the Dark Knight, and weirdly CSI.

The one pinball machine I own I also consider to be the most underrated pinball of all time and that is Revenge from Mars. Most pin snobs turn up their nose at it because it's got a CRT, but the playfield and gameplay is nearly identical to the highly regarded Attack from Mars plus the CRT screen IMO adds a really impressive augmented reality effect that even after owning the machine for years still impresses me. But because of the monitor you can pick them up for about 1/4th the price of an Attack from Mars machine.

There's been a few for sale in the past couple of years here in NZ, alas they had all been LCD bastarised and the original CRT nowhere to be found... :(

Nobody mentioned Baby Pacman? Best of both worlds! A pinball and an arcade machine!

This was a staple in Bars around town when I was in between 16 and 18 years old. This , Crazy Taxi and Area 51 site 4 were the games we played regularly.
I had no idea it wasn't respected and in my memory it has the "Mars Attacks'" licence attached :D
 
I love my RFM but have neglected it a bit in recent years. It needs a new skip ramp flap and a way to attach it that isn't gonna cost me an arm and a leg.

Other than that, i regret selling my Theatre of Magic, and have owned a TZ. The Theatre was a lot more accessibele but i feel it lacked endgame fun. TZ takes a lot learning and has a cool endgame.

No. I turn my nose cause you can’t see a god damn thing!
I’ve owned AFM but i can never finish a game on RFM… what a disappointment.

I must have tried and played more than 800 pins and the 2 p2k are smack down at the bottom. No wonder Williams closed their pinball division right after that.
