Yup, I picked up a Twilight Zone about 6 months after I finished my MAME cabinet. I would get more pins before building another MAME cabinet (though I do want to do that again someday too).

Post by: RetroJames on January 05, 2005, 05:20:37 pm: There are a few head to head pinballs. Check out wildsnake software (www.wildsnake.com) They did a video pinball game called Pinball Soccer based on an actual pinball game. The thing is a blast.

Post by: RayB on January 05, 2005, 05:53:16 pm: Yeah I'd love to have that Joust pinball. I remember only ever seeing ONE of those ever when I was young and it didn't stick around for very long. I don't think anyone ever played it (it's no fun by yourself)

Post by: ChadTower on January 08, 2005, 10:37:12 am: Hint... find old games you CAN afford that don't work... a dead JAMMA cab, a dead pin, etc...

Fix them. Make them worth more.

Sell them... do this a couple of times... soon enough you'll have enough for that cab you want.

It takes a while, and it takes work, but that's how many of us get the really cool stuff over time.

Post by: RayB on January 09, 2005, 04:07:50 pm: I'd love to do that, and wanted to... but I'm forced to put the games in the basement, and bringing a cab down the stairs nearly put my back out last time. I had to resign myself to stop looking for more cabs..... :-( (unless I kick the GF out, then I can put them in the living room!)
;D
