I have always had a soft spot for pinball.. I finally got one for the house. It is a Williams Firepower made in 1980,I played this game when it was new( I was 15 years old) ..

Just wondering if anyone else on this board enjoys Pinball as much as me ..

I played that one many times.. I mastered it.. I also could not lose on Williams first double decker muiltball machine Black Knight.. I played one game for 8 hrs straight. I walked away w/ about 20 credits and sold them to some kids.. I played a single game on Missle Command for 10hrs and the machine shorted out and my game was over back in 83.. Defender, Pac Man, Space Invaders, Star Castle, Donkey Kong didn't matter I turned all them over game after game along w/ many others.. I never got "Tank" down though.. We used to go to a grocery store and they gave 10 dollar gift certificates for high score of the week.. I made alot of money as they had 6 machinces..:macho

Ever seen how much a Playboy Pinball Machine goes for???:eek: :huh

They are still expensive for a full functioning machine.. I paid 1500.00 shipped and set up..

Sangod I am looking to get a Black knight or a black knight 2000..

I think the Black Knight would look good next to the Firepower..

Did you ever go to Earl's arcade on State Steet in Salt Lake??

I did. I went everywhere. My name stood at the top of alot of video games along w/ my bros.. We had the best Pac Man pattern and it was copied in any arcade we went to as I watched others play.. We then made a great pattern for Ms Pac man. I recently went to Aspen, Co for work.. We went to a bar and I was w/ some young whipper snappers.. I said let me show you how the Pinball Wizard plays as there was a machine there. Step back watch and learn.. I never played this pinball machine... I played two games to learn and the third game I won 8 free games and played for two hrs on one game. They couldn't belive it.. I said don't doubt the Pinball Wizard ...................EVER!!!:D They got drunk spending 20 bucks each and I spent a buck!!! LOL

some kid i hung out once had a pinball machine at his house, it was spirit of 76. the bells and what not sounded like a door bell. it was a pretty small and simple machine. i dont think they make many machines but i like the monopoly one and the playboy one is pretty cool.
i think the new ones go for like 5-6 grand

Pinball is the greatest game, ever! I hope to have one in my basement one day. For some reason the guys always stuck me on the playboy one. Don't know why.....think they thought it was funny, idk :o Still my favorite game of all time!
