What game should I buy as my last one?

I don't think there is any way I would ditch that pinball. It is in better shape than 90 percent of the pins I play on location, and EVERYONE loves it.

Even Eugene Jarvis - the creator of Robotron - talked about slamming the cabinet into the wall while playing.  That game that drives us all to madness I tell you!
Chris:
Robotron plays great in MAME, though.  The opportunity here is to get a game that doesn't play well in MAME, or where the cabinet adds so much to the game it's not the same without it.

In that category, I put (presuming you're staying with classics):

- Tron
- Spy Hunter
- Starship 1
- Lunar Lander
- Subroc 3D
- Battlezone
- Pole Position
- Atari Football

Or, if you can find it:

- Death Race

Of course, none of these are on your list...

I amost got a Subroc a while back, but I changed my mind on the deal because they are supposed to be a maintenance nightmare.

I won't touch amy vectors, and Atari Football takes up too much space. I already opted on Roadblasters over Spyhunter and Pole. I have no memorys of paying Tron, so that isn't too interesting to me.

That does leave Starship I on the list. =)
