Rules

Full rules are here.

Vote for five games.

Your first choice gets 5 points, second 4 pts, third 3 pts, fourth 2 pts, fifth 1 pt.

Remember to choose games suitable for competition play. Edited votes will be discounted (unless told otherwise) so think before you post. Please only vote on one board - either EAB or Lemon.

If a game comes in ECS and AGA versions, please state your preference in your vote. In the event the versions differ gameplay-wise, the version with most votes will be played. ECS is the default if you don't specify.

[Graham Humphrey]

Got in with a week to spare this time

Maybe this is also a good reminder for other people to cast their votes if they haven't already... but there's still until the 19th so plenty of time yet - and it's a close vote too.

[lifeschool]

Yeah, c'mon all you newbies, where are those votes?

This is a brand new year. Your game could come up to play if you vote for it.

if you need any help deciding, Harry has a Top 100 Never been played table on EAB, and I have one on Lemon.

[Graham Humphrey]

Time to put my double vote into action then!

1. Pinball Prelude
2. Downfall
3. Crazy Cars 3
4. Stardust
5. Klax

[lifeschool]

I don't understand all the love for Pinball Prelude. That's the one with the dinosaur table isn't it?. I certainly rate Obsession and Pinball Mania much higher because of their table layout and fun factor, graphics and presentation. Sure the ball is heavier on those games but that doesn't spoil anything for me. The only fun thing about Prelude is the multi-ball feature.

Prelude got a 4.8 average on Lemon, while Obsession got a 7.6!

Just sayin.

Never seen those words in the same sentence before

With all due respect, that doesn't mean anything. Prelude is an imaginative and fun game that people don't really appreciate. Obsession is alright, solidly designed if unspectacular. Mania is absolutely appalling in every possible way - terrible table design, rubbish physics and a crap multi-ball implementation.
