My Two Cents

I remember KISS, Meteor, and Harlem Globetrotters being popular at the pizza shop.

My favs are definitely Whirlwind (spinning fan), Funhouse, Terminator, and anything with Pinbot (machine opens up and you make him/her come alive)

Cirqus Voltaire is kind of odd, with the ball game inside the backglass... I've always thought that is innovative but not too much fun.

There's a couple I'd want
In order of wanted the most
1) Swords of Fury ( I was really good at this one and it is fun witht he two playfields)
2) Theatre of Magic
3) Rocky and Bulwinkly
4) Whirlwind
5) Fishtales

Then I'd like classics like poker or 8ball.  I love the old 60s pins with the mechanical scoring.

I played The Simpsons Pinball Party yesterday.  The playfield looks awesome.

I paid fifty cents to see three balls go straight down the middle between the flippers in 30 seconds total.  What a gip.  I hate machines that feed that many SDTM.

I used to play this game at my godfathers arcade when I was little.  And I would love to find one for sale.  http://marvin3m.com/baseball/basechmp.htm



I found one of those abandoned once. I rented a mini warehouse, and whoever had it before left the game when they moved out. I spent a fair amount of time cleaning the thing up and getting it fully working. Later after the job was over and it was time for me to move, I sold it as I didn't have room to take it with me.
