Tales of the Arabian Nights Is Better Than Medieval Madness! | Top 50 Pinball Machines
Summary
Gonzo ranks Tales of the Arabian Night above Medieval Madness and slams Road Show in his personal top 50.
Gonzo's Pinball Flipperama presents a personal top 50 pinball list and uses it to judge Tales of the Arabian Night (rated above Medieval Madness and placed in the upper list) and Road Show (rated near the bottom). He criticizes Road Show oversized scoop and frustrating random mode starts, praises Tales of the Arabian Night for fun, personality, and approachable rules, and laments that Jack Danger no longer designs games for Stern.
Tales of the Arabian Nights is one of the most celebrated Williams pinball machines ever made—but is it actually better than Medieval Madness? In this episode of Gonzo’s Top 50 Pinball Machines, I revisit Tales of the Arabian Nights and explain why I prefer it to the machine many pinball enthusiasts consider the greatest of all time. I examine its shots, rules, artwork, toys, humour, personality and long-term appeal before revealing exactly where it enters the Flipperama Top 50. I also compare my personal ranking system with the Pinside Top 100 and explain why fun, addiction and ownership experience matter more to me than technical scoring. Do you agree that Tales of the Arabian Nights is better than Medieval Madness—or have I completely lost the plot? Let me know in the comments.
