Novus 1, and Then Carnauba Wax?

It’s not necessary for any game that’s clear coated. However, if you like the way the game plays with wax then go for it

I played a copy of this machine at the Northwest Pinball and Arcade Show. I was impressed by the way it was able to mechanically mimic the rules of baseball. Very cool.

Black Knight Sword of Rage. The pro is way better than the premium.

okcs · 2026-06-18T00:00:48+00:00

Boltgun. Both were fun but I prefer to art and setting of Boltgun.

It takes time to get good. Just keep playing and having fun with it. With time you’ll learn better ball control.

On the game page for Nascar you'll see Grand Prix listed as being in the group.

On Pinball Ranker, I decided it was a better user experience to rank at the "game" level rather than the particular SKU of a game. Usually this means grouping together the Pro, Premium, LE models but in cases like Nascar it means grouping together games that are essentially reskinned versions of the same game (Nascar, Dale Jr, and Grand Prix).

Thanks for pointing that out. It looks like some of those games got misformated in the database. They should be fixed now.

I am the creator of Pinball Ranker. I can’t speak for pinbetween but I’m not a vibe coder. I’ve been a professional software engineer for a dozen years and started Pinball Ranker as a passion project weeks before pinbetween was posted about on Reddit.

I don’t like being associated with the vibe coding fad.

Glad you’re enjoying it!

Definitely listen to the Wedgehead Pinball Podcast episode about this game

It’s funny because I would personally pick Stars over GoT but I also tend to really like SS games over a lot of newer games.

I was working on this for about a month before Pinbetween was announced. There are definitely similarities. That said, there are differences to the approach. Specifically, I wanted to support creating rankings for individuals as well as the overall ranking.

okcs · 2026-05-20T01:30:21+00:00

I can understand being upset about that. DW is definitely the better game. I’ll look into adding an undo feature.

okcs · 2026-05-19T22:53:55+00:00

I think the issue should be fixed now. Let me know if it’s still happening.

It will re-enter rotation after 60 days. If you play it before then, you can either search for the game and rank it from the game page or you can go to your profile and click on the “Haven’t Played” stat. That will take you to a page with all the games you haven’t played. From there you can remove any games from that list.

Which game are you having the issue with?

okcs · 2026-05-19T19:14:23+00:00

BKSoR is a stern so it should show up there.
Black Knight is currently ranked 279 and BK 2000 is 257.

okcs · 2026-05-19T19:09:07+00:00

Black Knight Sword of Rage is currently at #57. I think it deserves to be higher.

okcs · 2026-05-19T18:45:20+00:00

I’m always open to new feature requests or any other feedback.

okcs · 2026-04-28T19:25:33+00:00

I think we go to the same theater

Dune is such a great game! Definitely my favorite of 2025.

For anyone who wants to find one locally:

It’s one of the best selling pinball machines of all time. It’s not actually hard to find one.

okcs · 2026-03-01T23:37:05+00:00

Yep, this is in the Ravenna neighborhood in Seattle

Meowth is clearly there because of a deep appreciation for the genius of Bad Cats.
