I use to kick this machine's ass maybe 10+ years ago! Lots of Specials, thinking about multi-ball still makes me sweat!

love pinball.
ST:TNG and Terminator 2 used to be my fav machines.
these days i'm playing virtually - Pinball FX2 is really excellent.
turn your widescreen monitor sideways and off you go! 37 tables available. http://www.pinballfx.com/

the videos on youtube all use the screen wide. trust me, the game is 10000x better if you switch to vertical.

Just found a place 2 minutes down the road with an Austin Powers table.

Awesome table.

i have to update my recommendation. Pinball FX2 is pretty good, but The Pinball Arcade is much much better! it emulates real tables. ~50 available so far. check it out, totally worth buying!

Stern pinball just can't keep up with orders. Big new factory outside Chicago, latest addition is KISS!! looks real cool. If you want to find a machine in your area check the pin finder at www.piside.com

I used to work at an amusement park and we had a game room. I could plunk a quarter into the Galaxy pinball machine and play for as long as I felt like playing on that quarter. One day I was playing and I just kept winning free games. Ding ding ding, clunk! Every free game, clunk. Clunk clunk clunk. I look over and a kid was watching. I racked up a few more, then said "here kid, there's a few games left." He was like "Oh WOW, thanks Mr!" That kid played for a good hour before he finally ran out of free games. I did that a lot. I'd rack up a bunch of games and just walk away and let the kids have at it.

haven't hip checked a machine in too long ,,,,,,,,,,,,TILT!!!!!!!!!!!!!.yeehaw... my arcade days at Daytona beach boardwalk few rolls of quarters every time..

 

[Miraculous Meds]

Bride of pinbot is my choice!

The first time the Daytona cars that had 4 linked together, that vibrated when u crashed em was fun as hell. Get a few buddies together, a roll of quarters each, get stoned n drunk, n go legally drunk driving in the game. fun times.

Had one in the basement. Threw it out 5 years ago.

I worked for years w/a friend who was the local vendor, I repaired & refurbished pinball & video games.

The pinball back glass & the play surface always have value.

The cabinets (depending on graphics) make very cool custom speaker cabinets.......

When I was at College, there was a games room with a small bowling alley in the same building as the cafeterial. I commuted in from another city and would have long spells between classes. I played ton's of pinball and got good enough to be able to beat a couple of the machines.

There was this Aliens game that financed my coffee and cigarettes. I'd start off with a quarter and turn it into 20 free games that I'd sell for a couple of bucks. I'd work to getting an extra ball right off the bat and then work on loading up the machine. There was one combo shot that would pay off with 5 free games. Cha-Ching$$$$

pretty much summed up my youth playing pinball ,,

would skip class ,,use lunch money to buy half a pack of cigarettes with a buddy ,,go to pinball ,,clock up all the free credits and sell them off to the other kids who hadn't skipped class at lunch time ,,saved 1 credit so i could play all afternoon and clock more credits ,,sending the ball through the free replay loop on space invaders was as easy as tying my shoelaces ,,
then when kids finished school for the day would sell all the credits for my nightime adventure funds hehe

Beatles pinball machine. about time.


The article noted that while "pricing has not been revealed yet, after posting this I received a couple of messages from different people ‘in the know’ suggesting that the Diamond Edition could be the most expensive pinball machine of all time. We’ll see for certain once Stern unveils the prices.”
