Thought I was going to see a top 100 with the sterns removed, i.e. to show how many in the top 100 arent sterns.

Currently there are 37 Sterns in the Top 100, I removed these and moved everything else up a place until reached 100.

CGC are doing well on this new list, just shows you if they up their game they could take a bigger slice of the market.

Awesome. I doubt that pinball would be as strong in popularity if it hadn't been for Stern though.

Im not sure CGC currently deserve that much patting on the back, the games would likely still be in the same slots with out their remakes.

But let's wait and see where Pulp Fiction ends up.

Have they done any other original games?

For sure and Pulp Fiction will be near top I think when that gets released. Hopefully we get to see another pin from Raw Thrills and CGC after PF Pinside's Top 100 (without Stern) (17)

I've owned about 15 of the top 30 there. I got more fun out of CFTBL, Fish Tales, WH2O, Shadow, WCS etc. than I did IJ, AFM and TZ.
