Last year we included pinball games into the main poll about the GOTY but I think it is probably more fair to make a separate poll for pins so they get a little more attention. This is a much smaller poll obviously, if anyone wants to include virtual pinball sets in the poll I could add them afterwards but for now I’ll just throw the proper pins on there.

Not the best year for pinball as Stern tried to attract the casual player’s money rather than keep the home collectors happy. Indi Jones out-performed just about any recent title in terms of coin-drop, but home buyers largely decided to skip the title – maybe because Indi Jones and Batman: The Dark Knight were released in quick succession. Shrek was a re-hash of the great Family Guy but was such a limited run and never quite lived up to it’s predecessor. So from the list it has to be Batman for me.
I had to drop one back to a retailer after the UK Pinball Show and managed to make excuses and keep it for a few days. I used to buy every new Stern machine but I try to be a bit more sensible these days.
Keep up the great work guys and more pinball stuff please! Cheers, Nick. thepinballblog.com
