Ah, memories.  One of my favourites was Meteor (by Stern).
Meteor was a much better pinball machine than a movie.
(The movie on which it was based was a dog.)

One night I rolled it.  I know some people like to tilt a
machine before the score rolls over so they can get high
score, but I didn't care - I wanted to see just how far
I could go.  I wound up with a million and a half points,
and even the half a million that was left on the counter
was enough to get a game on points.  What a rush.
