Picture the late 80s . . .
In high school, my best friend's dad had about 15 pinball's in his basement. This same friend always had the best video games and we would frequent the local arcades.
I fell in love with the Williams games such as Comet and Cyclone. My freshman year (89) in college it was Taxi at the diner. Then sophmore (90) year at the lunch hall, it was Funhouse. Junior and Senior years at the bar it was Terminator 2!
Finally, I had settled down and had enough disposable income to purchase a machine. It was near Christmas, so I settled on Taxi (with Santa Clause on the sides) to surprise the kids. After that came T2. Then an opportunity to refurbish a Funhouse with a complete playfield swap. I tried a Data East, Tommy, but had to flip it after being less than impressed.
I got a Hurricance, the less than highly rated sequel to the Comet and Cyclone. This one came with a cool after story as it had a sticker that had been shopped by my friend's dad in high school that in high school that got me started into pinball. I did not know that when I bought it.
The last, but not final piece of my collection is Twilight Zone. A deep Pat Lawlor game, that is truly a thing of beauty.
I am dreaming of an Adams Family, Roadshow, or perhaps the Jersey Jack Lawlor game yet to be announced.
