Pinball dorks

Anyone else bail on their friends and lie to people about where you're going to sneak off by yourself and go play pinball? Lets talk about your favorite machines and top scores. I have 3rd place tagged at a local joint here on The Addam's Family machine. It's ranked one of the best and highest selling machine in history. I'm probably the only kook that has this addiction but if you chase the pinball dragon, spill the beans.

I do enjoy a good game of pinball occasionally not too many machines around here though last one I found was broke and stole my money.

My two favorite machines are probably Adams family and monopoly. The Simpsons one is awesome too. I can't remember them all right now but I know I love thems

texasT, I've always wanted to play The Simpsons. It looks really dope, also The Ninja Turtles machine is sick.

P.S. I've heard really good things about Monopoly. Are you playing for a quarter or are they gouging you for 50 cents?

I had a 1976 Ballys Mata Hari machine for a few years. It was old school, but I played for hours on end. Side note. Pinball machine repairs cost a fortune. Sorry for the huge pic. I'm lazy.

I miss you Mata Hari, wherever you are.

frankycouplepuphs, I just played this machine last night. Even though I'm more into early 90's dot matrix machines this one was a lot of fun. Plus you have a lot more physical control over the game on a machine like this rather than a newer one.

Played Big Buck Hunter pinball game the other day...I rocked it but it was a horrible design~ There was a stupid buck that would slide across the table...Would not recommend Rolling Eyes

PS- I didn't take this picture or I would have been playing the batman one. There was only the buck hunter where I was at... Laughing

Gonna bump this thread for sure, have a Fish Tales, Revenge from Mars, and a Simpson's Pinball Party in our porch. Definitely a great time waster/nostalgic piece of Americana/hobby. Smash
