Best LCD-era Sterns - are they all Elwin?

[VeeMonroe]

We're just having a discussion about which is the best LCD-era Stern pin not designed by Keith Elwin.

Excluding Foo Fighters, which I haven't played yet, my list runs like this:

1. Godzilla
2. JP2
3. Iron Maiden
4. Rush
5. Star Wars
6. A:IQ
7. Deadpool
8. EHOH
9. Black Knight: Sword of Rage
10. The Beatles
11. Stranger Things
12. The Mandalorian
13. Guardians of the Galaxy
14. James Bond
15. Led Zeppelin
16. TMNT

To our surprise, I now rate Rush as probably the best non-Elwin pin. I like the flow and variety of shots. It does feel quite interesting. This comes from a position of knowing nothing at all about the band.

My husband denies playing enough to have a clear ranking, but his tier list is:
Great: GZ, JP2, Iron Maiden, A:IQ
Good: Rush, Star Wars, Deadpool, Stranger Things
OK: BK:SOR, GOTG, LZ, Beatles
Turkey: Mando, TMNT
Not played: EHOH, James Bond
He obviously likes the Elwins, but he says the best non-Elwin is a toss-up between Rush and Deadpool.

My top 3 are Elwins for sure but then my next choice is probably surprising for some, definitely so in your house! I just love TMNT, I don’t think it’s the best game but I just have so much fun playing it

Not for me I'm afraid.

I like Elwin but not to the point that I love everything he does.

Surely if you're going to rate only LCD games then the actual imagery on the LCD screen must be factored in right?

AIQ wasn't even animations. It was the most basic keyframing of still images.

I'm no fan of Mando but it pi$$es all over Maiden for screen content.

Batman 66 needs to be on that list somewhere
