Any Pinball wizards here?
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?

I'm not a pinball wizard, but lately I have been a little nostalgic and have been wondering about adding a couple of the old arcade games I used to like back in the day to the basement.

Maintenance is one of my big questions.

they are more reliable but fall short of bulletproof. I really liked attack from mars. the sequel to that table was Revenge from Mars. RfM utlized pepper's ghost to project a hologram over the playfield.


----------------------------------------------------------------------

all my favorite tables were from Williams electronics.
-Firepower
-Wizard
-Revenge from Mars
-Gorgar
-Defender

if you want to play some pinball on a tiny budget... I'd recommend buying a copy of Williams pinball hall of fame for ps3 or xbox360.

there are a couple of virtual pinball games on PC too.

the pinball arcade has tables from 5 former manufacturers.
Zaccaria pinball has 30 tables from that Italian manufacturer
------------------------------------------------------------------------

use the database at http://www.aurcade.com to find arcades and specific games.

there are 43 Attack from mars tables in the lower 48 states. there are 3 AfM remakes. none of them are in CA though.

there are 140+ arcades in CA. several are in SF

Great information, thanks. I saw the Attack From Mars SE which looked awesome but 8k is steep for me.

I'm seeing a lot of remake consoles that you can put into a cabinet that have 200+ titles. I don't want to spend a fortune but I think it would be cool to have a couple of donkey kong and other favorites...just because. Might even think about something like operation wolf for my gun vault.

Yep - this is my next home-arcade project (already have the mame/console cabinet).

Skip to 12 minute mark if you want to see how it looks. Done right, they are pretty impressive!

Kiss and Xenon were my two faves growing up!
