Black Night was the sh!t! Taxi was also a favorite. The one I played was so loose you could get the ball to place at will in the spinner, Short of picking the machine up, you were good to go.Whenever I go into in arcade these days, the first thing I look for are pinball machines. They are getting harder to find. I remember how ground breaking The Black Knight was when I was a kid...the first machine to be two tiered. Cost 50 cents to play back in the day which was a huge deal.
That Indian kid was useless.It's good to see that there are still fans of pinball around. Sometimes it's like asking someone if they know who Johnny Quest is.
that or i'm really old
He saved Dr. Quest many a times.That Indian kid was useless.
Yeah, that was a great board. I'm old enough that I used to play the old Gottlieb nickel push up the ball with the plunger (Sing A-Long, Spin-A-Card) machines.
Heads will roll if they remake Thundercats. Leave the old cartoons alone!He saved Dr. Quest many a times.
The new jonny quest was one of the cartoon remakes I actually didnt mind. The rest have them have been fouled up beyond belief.
250M isn't bad when every bumper hit practically gives you 1 Million. lolThe newer ones are sweet, but the scoring is ridiculous. I think a free ball on Sopranos was like 250M or some crazy ass score.
That's what I mean, it's like a million points is NOTHING on these games.250M isn't bad when every bumper hit practically gives you 1 Million. lol
Yeah, that was a great movie. It's like you want to recommend that movie to someone, but then you realize how silly you would sound describing a movie about people playing Donkey Kong. But seriously, It's worth watching.That's what I mean, it's like a million points is NOTHING on these games.
Sort of on topic, anyone (besides me) seen King of Kong? That movie is awesome. G4 had it on a few nights ago and there was talk of a Kong 2 movie.
My wife made fun of me for watching it, then when I was watching it on G4 last weekend she got sucked into it. She said "That Billy dude is such a dick!"Yeah, that was a great movie.

Comet was the bomb. Now I remember why I loved it so much. When the ball went down the left straight gutter, you could nudge to the right and the tiny edge bumper on the left would bounce it back into play. Since the machine had a center pin between the flippers, you only had to worry about the right gutter. I've spent many hours on that machine. *sniff*
IIRC the pin was removable. A lot of the old machines had them.Comet was the bomb. Now I remember why I loved it so much.

Kind of ironic there was a character called Race.That Indian kid was useless.
