Title: Newest members of the family
Post by: jrivelli on November 18, 2011, 04:51:23 pm

I am a big fan of the system 11 games and made it my goal to collect them. I was able to pick up 2 of them this week for decent prices and in GREAT condition. Some pics below:

Big Guns: I love the game play on this one with the catapults. It is a pretty easy game since it has a kicker and a gate. The theme, to me, is hilarious. Medevil castle vs humans aliens? Many people are not fans, but I just find it humorous. side art and playfield are in really really great shape. Very surprised for being from 1987!

Fire!: This is a really cool game. I do like big guns game play a bit more currently, but the theme on this is really solid and well rounded. bell on the top dings for bonus and extra ball. rEally hard game. The outlanes are angled a bit tougher than most games I have and the ball loves those outlanes.

On the fire! the switch 28 says it needs adjustment. This is the right entry for the horseshoe. I played a game and manually hit the switch, made the ball go throw it both ways multiple times, but it still says it.

Any advice?

That FIRE looks like a great steampunk-ish game. But both of them look like great finds!

Congrats!

Thanks guys!

Jim, I will try to isolate like you said and see what I can do. I have gotten them all to go away, exceptt for that pesky switch 28, so I will try what you mentioned.



Another issue. On Big guns the 1st player display starts off not working and then after 20min works perfect. Does it need more voltage?
