Top 3 is easy

 

Black Knight (this and Galaga took all my $ as a kid)

Playboy (mate had one in his games room)

Firepower (got one :) )

 

Then I suppose

 

Power Play (played it to death at the local bowling alley)

Space Invaders ( I sucked at it but it has cool art)

Solar Fire (a lot like Black Knight - haven't seen one for decades)

I thought pinbot was released in '86 - does that qualify? thread does say early 80's?

 

if so i would list it at number 1!

 

 

Hmmm, only 6?

 

Gorgar

Centaur

Eight Ball Deluxe

PinBot (can't believe nobody else has listed this one!)

Firepower

Black Knight

 

Out of those, if I had the opportunity to only have one then it would definitely be Eight Ball Deluxe.
