my cousin and a good friend of mine are both into pinball machines for some reason..they each have 3 or 4 which they have reconditioned and modded etc.

its fun for the kids..and i dont mind a game or two lol.
 
Seriously. Poking though nSpectre's apartment is incredibly fun. He has the most bizarre, eclectic shit.
 
Saw two older machines (probably 60-70's) outside a tornado destroyed house that I could have looted if I was one of those people. Shockingly it stayed there for well over a month.
 
The people who owned them were dead.

You are a Why instead of a Why NOT. You make me sick.
 
Sold my Addams Family because I kept needing to fix it. Will eventually owned a restored one. Added Rocky and Bullwinkle because I got it cheap. Will be getting rid of that to make room for Family Guy at one point.

my cuz has that adams family one too...is that like a prized machine or something?

oh and u have a simpsons one...he'd kill for that...HUGE simpsons fan..
 
There are two simpsons games, an older Data East one and a newer one from Stern. I have the newer one, it's one of the top rated games of all time as far as playability. Search for it on youtube, Simpsons Pinball Party. There's an upper playfield in the top left corner that starts the modes and has a couch that locks the balls for multiball.

Pix of yer own, y0! :D  or ARE they? 

When I was a teenager there was an arcade at Western & Hollywood Blvd that had ancient 5 cent pinball machines. They had no flippers or bumpers, just a handle mid-field that spun a rod that ran across the playfield. The playfield had holes the ball could fall into for various points. The rod had 3 to 4 projections on it wrapped in rubber bands to scoot the ball back up the playfield. However, if the ball got past the rod it would fall into whatever hole on the lower half of the playfield it encountered.

They also had a bad-ass standup console "tail gunner trainer" with a double-barrel machine gun mounted on it pointed into the back-board whereupon was
projected actual WWII film clips of enemy aircraft diving across the screen on strafing runs. If you managed to shoot at the aircraft with the appropriate amount of lead it would project a red, jagged star on it to indicate a hit and the machine gun would vibrate.

I'd kill for one of those :bigthumb:
 
I can beat that. :D

Compaq DOS 3.31 (now supports FAT16!)
Clipper (Summer '87) database development (in original box)
Compaq 286 Manual Set (with pull-out main- & sub-board schematics)
Complete Apple ][ system with external HD (a whopping 5 MEGABYTES!)
Complete ArcNet LAN (4, count'em FOUR megabits per second)

Like Musashi said... :D

I've always wanted a Black Knight pinball machine. Multi-ball and the patented "Magna-Save" (strong electromagnets under the left and right ball drains that, if you were quick enough on the buttons, would stop the ball and let it drop back to the flipper for continued play.)

That game would make me sweat like a motherfucker. An hour or two of play would have my entire trench-coat soaked.
:worried:

That isn't a pic of mine, but I have that one. It's in a little better shape than that one as well but it's buried in a closet. It's a 1933ish "Silver Cup".

I didn't exactly know how old it was until I looked it up a couple of years ago.

Nothing but springs and pegs baby.
