I like the elevated tube in that one! for 1979, that was pretty cool! excellent graphics too!

I haven't played that one in a LONG while...

I just got invited to a "pinball party" this Friday.

My favorite has to be the Williams made Cyclone of 1988. tons of elevated stuff and a sweet group of soundbites!

I love Pinball, but don't have a favorite Pinball machine to play. But I do prefer pinball machines over arcade video games.

That and a good game of big table air hockey and I'm all set!

My favorite pinball machines were the really complicated ones with 4+ flippers, multiple horizontal levels and sometimes vertical bonus areas. I don't remember the name of my favorite, but it was done up in a black knight/medievel theme and had digitized evil-sounding vocal and other auditory effects. I especially liked the ones where you could have multiple balls in play at once.

The ones I liked least were the old, rickety ones with wobbly legs that would "tilt" with even the most minor application of bump english.

I love pinball and can play for hours on end. I remember back when I was a grom I turned twilight zone over and left it with 5 extra balls and I was still on the first ball...ahh, free time....remember that?

weRd. I love me a game of pinball! Not that I play all that often though.

I liked when games cost a quarter, or 50 cents for the "nice" machines. Now in places like Jillian's you have to buy a damn credit card to play. Meh. :disgust1:

My machine is a 1986 Bally/Midway "City Slicker". It's a very rare and collectible pin as only 500 were made. It was one of the first solid-state games to offer (3) separate playfields and multiball. I have to learn how to post pictures!

I remember xenon having some voice over of some incredibly hot sounding chick..... If I am remembering correctly I played it just to hear her talk!!!

Heath, whirlwind was cool with the spinning disks.... I remember the disks spinning but cant remember, was that the one that magnetized the ball and gave it a sling? or was that the storm tracker game?

At work we have a simpsons pinball party machine and that thing ruled! (I say ruled because it needs a tune up and is currently somewhat unplayable)

I did enjoy the south park pinball as well.

Pinball, good.
