Other Games Any Pinball wizards here? - Page 5

BIG_DADDY · 07-30-2018, 10:39 AM

Went to a pinball convention this weekend. I had no idea my son would love it as much as I have. I am considering purchasing an Attack from Mars remake. Damn these things are expensive. My problem is I have no idea how much it costs to maintain these things. My understanding is the new electronics are supposed to make the new ones bulletproof but the reality of it is I actually have no idea. Anyone ever buy one of these things? Any pointer would be appreciated.

Some of my favorites:
Attack from Mars
8 ball deluxe
Adams Family

Hell I can't even remember a bunch of them. What are your favorites?

xbox 360 has a pinball game man it is sweet Williams historic arcade or something. Kansas City has lots of pinball games. Westport all of the bars have one. Then there is the 401 club in KCK

They have several bars around here with 10-15 of the old school stuff like this. But, they are all coin operated. Which does increase the nostalgia. I'd have a blast in a place like that.

I've been going to Manitou penny arcade every year for 15 years running. I'd bet they do 1k visitors on an average weekend. I'm always surprised at how young the crowd is and how much it skews female. there's always tons of kids too.

Is that Billy Mitchell in your avatar?

The Adams Family you mentioned earlier is awesome.

I have never played Twilight Zone. That is one I would really like to find.

Sorry, that was a nerd joke. That's the old Microsoft Pinball software game that used to ship with new Windows 95 computers.

I don't own a pinball machine. But if I did it would absolutely be Addams Family...
