Albert Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 One of my favorite pins is Black Knight 2000. A friend of mine and I own one, and it's presently at his house. We will be bringing it to the Austin Gaming Expo, and there will be a wide variety of other pins brought by the various arcade vendors attending the show.

ussexplorer Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 One thing I hate about the new pinball machines is the flashing lights on some. They seem to always go off right when the ball is in the worst place. The game seems to be designed this way. The older the game is, the longer I can last and the more points I can rack up. Defenetly no flashing lights. For the mechanical machines. I do love them the best. Make me want to say Fubar digital displays to a point.

mr.bill Posted June 15, 2003 Share Posted June 15, 2003 the best pin is twilight zone.. its easy enough for a novice to have fun with and hard enough for a good player to enjoy.. Other great pins are: addams family scared stiff black knight 2000 whitewater star wars (data east) funhouse If your thinking of buying a pin, stay with bally or williams..

Han Posted June 15, 2003 Share Posted June 15, 2003 I suck at pinball... Maybe I just got bad pinball karma or something ... But Addams Family is really cool, HIT COUSIN IT! Pinball dreams on the Amiga was great too... I am actually much better with a virtual pinball .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry_Dodgson Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 We like our Dr. Who pinball. A lot of pinball and plasma video action. 3 ball multi-ball that isn't hard to get several times for your quarter. The inflated point system is great too. What other machine can you boast of getting 3 BILLION points? If I had the money, I think a "Bride of Pinbot" machine would look nice next to it in our basement.

DeV0 Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 Eight Ball Deluxe YES!!! Someone on earth agrees with me on this. 8 Ball deluxe will never get old for me. My highest score to date is 11 million and i had the hang over from hell, I had people in a coffee shop watching me play which i was ignoring. Imho Addams family reinvented the pinball and basically bought pinball back to life after a few years crap releases. I love pinball more then atari or any other video game system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasoco Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 I remember as a kid actually attempting to build a Pinball Machine out of Lego Technic. I didn't have enouh, and the physics coupled with the non-good-um.. scientificnes uh.. well, let's say it wouldn't have worked as well if I even had enough pieces. Plastic isn't as dense as the material they use in real PB machines. And I didn't have the "balls" so to speak. But I had fun failing at trying to attempt it.

Nimtene Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 I've always been a big fan of pinball. I would say my favorite is Funhouse, with the runner up being Theater of Magic. But I will have to give honorable mentions to Black Knight 2000, Taxi, Twilight Zone, Whitewater, Addams Family, Rollercoaster, Bride of Pinbot, Jurassic Park, The Shadow, and Comet.

trusty Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 I'm a HUGE retro junkie. When it comes to pins, there is only one that comes to mind: D. Gottlieb's 1973 'Jumping Jack'!! It featured 4 flippers, 2 pop bumpers, 10 drop targets and 2 kickout holes. I LOVE THIS MACHINE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Monkey Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 I can't believe no-one has mentioned High Speed! That is definitely my all time favourite. I also loved: Cylone Taxi Pinbot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 A couple of favorites that come to mind: Mideval Madness Star Wars (Data East version) Theater of Magic Stargate Star Trek: TNG Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.FoodMonster Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 Electra is cool, my grandpa has one, if you get 10 or more specail points it goes down to another mini pinball area right in the middle of the playing area, its really cool. I also like the one that is like a bar fight or somthing and you fight random people and alot of minigames are involved. i also like indiana jones alot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerGnome Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 I Loved Baby Pacman when it came out.. dumpped a lot of quarters in that one at the 7-11 when I was a kid.. I haven't seen one in years and I would love to own one one day.. However.. I hear they were really buggy and prone to early deaths? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 However.. I hear they were really buggy and prone to early deaths? Yeah from what I understand it's the communication board that connects the pinball board to the game monitor that goes bad. It's because you basically have an arcade machine and a pinball machine in one. All the more stuff to go bad. I played it once or twice at Philly. It was ok, but nothing special.

Xot Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 The ones I remember loving... Old School: Whirlwind and Eight Ball Deluxe More Modern: Street Fighter II, Jurassic Park (8-Ball Multiball, baby!), Star Trek TNG, and of course Addams Family. Twilight Zone was nifty too.

Goochman Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 Haunted House, Gorgar and Black Knight Old Skool Black Knight 2000 was great also but a bit too easy for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanriostar Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 I'm a big fan of Creature, but my main love will always be Twilight Zone. I just wish I could find a clean machine to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackjack Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 My favorites over the years were: Charlies Angels Haunted House High Speed Star Trek: TNG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow460 Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 I had a lot of favorite tables, and found it hard to choose. My most favorite was Jurassic Park. Aside from that, I also enjoyed Fish Tales, Doctor Who, Twilight Zone, the original Star Wars, The Machine (Bride of Pin-Bot), and Maverick. It's hard to decide which sounds were better between "Feed T-Rex!", "It was, it was, it was THIS BIG!!" (followed by the words "total lie" on the fish tales screen), or Maverick's high speed version of Amazing Grace. Jurassic Park gets props for being very exciting and seven ball chaos mode. Doctor Who gets props for the theme! Fish Tales is just plain whacked, and hilarious to listen to. Twilight Zone had the plastic ball and magnetic flippers as mentioned above (five years ago). The Machine has a slick look to it, and the face i just freaky when it has no eyes. Maverick is just relaxing to play, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supercat Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Jurassic Park gets props for being very exciting and seven ball chaos mode. Seven!? I thought it was six. The Chaos mode on Jurassic Park is one of the best wizard mode sequences I've seen on any machine. It's a little annoying that one is usually limited to one multi-ball per game, and thus one chance to score the super CHAOS bonus, but having two shots that are worth 600M each if you have all six balls in play when you make them is pretty cool. As it happens, I've never netted even close to 1.2B worth of super-jackpot shots, but I think I've gotten 500M or 600M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
