Happy_Dude Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 either real or emulated ? I'm actually liking Charlies Angels at the moment. Weird I know My fave of all time is Addams Family pinball. I'v played a real machine back in the day but am playing it a lot under Visual Pinmame Just looking for ideas for my arcade because I'm not a Pinball freak (but I am a fan ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maibock Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 Right after college I became the Beverage Manager of a Hilton Hotel. There was a pub next door which had Funhouse. Oh man, every break we could get, we'd sneak over and play a couple games. What a wacky but fun pinball game. I'd love to find it again.

YarsRevengeFan Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 My favs are The Doctor Who and the Star Trek: The Next Generation pinball games. I love the mix of LCD on the screen and the pinball aspect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fellow Atari Man Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 Black Knight 2000. It had a second raised playfield that was pretty cool. Pinbot's good. Bride of Pinbot bored me, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goatdan Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 My favorite of all time is definitely Space Shuttle. Other great ones are Jurassic Park, Lord of the Rings, Medieval Madness, Simpsons: Pinball Party and about 250 or so more that I adore... And that is only SS. There are a ton of EM machines that I think are awesome too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sku_u Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 I love all the old style wooden pinball machines. They are a lot of fun to play. Of the modern pinball games, my favorites are: 1. Addams Family--I once played this one for half the day on one play. 2. Twilight Zone 3. Tales from the Crypt 4. Nip It 5. Creature from the Black Lagoon 6. Doctor Who 7. Baby Pacman (More of a hybrid system than a true pinball machine) 8. Six Sticks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 Put in another vote for Doctor Who. Not only is it based on my fave Sci-Fi series of all time but it's a damned fun game as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sigma Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 In no particular oder, Twilight Zone, Demolition Man, Doctor Who, and Dirty Harry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelerFan Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 KISS was my fav and I would absolutely love to have one, but those things in great shape are EXPENSIVE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyranthraxus Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 I had a lot of fun playing a Star Trek pinball in the mid 90s. It was a new machine based on the 60s show. As you played Scotty's voice would yell for "more power captain!" and "warp speed!". Eventually you'd get enough power to 'beam them up' LOL and the whole machine would start flashing and the team would get transported. The voices kept me laughing all the time and I kept plunking quarters just to get them to beam up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flack Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 KISS was my fav and I would absolutely love to have one, but those things in great shape are EXPENSIVE At the last SuperAuction I went to there was one that was listed as "complete". Complete, in it's case, meant all the parts were there in the cardboard box next to the unit. What you would call the table was little more than a wooden box with KISS faces painted on the side, and next to it were one (or maybe two) large cardboard boxes full of "stuff". THAT one went for $700. That's the day I gave up on getting one of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Player Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 I like the Harley-Davidson machine. It's been a while since I played it though. Funny that's it's my favorite since my friends in college all rode Honda Interceptors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bergbros2 Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 You bastards hijacked my topic. http://www.atariage.com/forums/viewtopic.p...ghlight=pinball I loved Addams Family and I just loved the humor, the goals, the layout, the challenge, everything. It was the pinball game I played alll the time whne I was in law school. The two Star Treks were great. I also like the sound in the Fire Power game back in the mid eighties.

Max-T Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 Someone already mentioned it, but Black Knight 2000 has to be my #1. It was very innovative for its time. Sadly for me, I have not been able to find one to play for over ten years now. But I guess the emulator will do. Close second -- well I spent hours on Earthshaker back in the day. I gues that has to be second place. Emulation stars: Jack*Bot and Road Show. Never got to play either actual machine, but I scored almost 21 billion points on Jack*Bot in emulation, and Road Show is just plain fun. And for those of you who haven't gotten PinMAME and VisualPinball, do it. It's addicting to play all those old tables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian M Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 Pinball games were never my favorite thing to play at arcades. I was never any good at them and instead found myself drawn to the coin-op games. But anyway, the one pinball game that stood out in my mind was GORGAR (sp?). The voices were the main draw, and the board was laid out in a decent manner as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricDeLee Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 Speaking of FUNHOUSE: Local bar finally got a pinball game after about two years of me going through withdrawls... and they got FUNHOUSE. I played it for the first time yesterday and plugged about $10 into it! I love that game (is it emulated anywhere??? And where are the good Pinball Emulation sites?)

EricDeLee Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 BTW... I will be talking to the vendor next week and will possibly purchase FUNHOUSE! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
