"Welcome to the sickness!"

Hi, my name is Pekka and I'm a pinball addict...

My sickness began in the late eighties, but didn't really gain speed until the spring of 2004 when I started to feel confident I could actually fix common problems of 90s pinball machines. I had set my sights for the classic WPC line of Williams pinball machines, like so many others before me, and studied all the models (with as much location play as I could find). My two first purchases were Twilight Zone and Star Trek: The Next Generation (actually I had won the STTNG already in an auction when I stumbled upon the TZ, which became the first machine planted in my apartment). I was on my way!

These days I dream about additional space more than anything. My current flock of 12 machines seems awfully small - many, many more machines are needed to feed the sickness!

I've only rated machines that I've owned personally, because it takes me a while to fully understand and appreciate the nuances of rules and gameplay.

12s a pretty good number but if you got unlimited room go for it.
