My first pinball memories were from the solid-state era playing games like Paragon, Kiss, Space Invaders, Harlem Globetrotters, Eight Ball Deluxe, Big Game, etc.
Fast forward 29 years when my high school buddy tells me he acquired a Paragon that he no longer had room for. So, I bought my first pin from him in 2009 and have been hooked ever since.
From my early experience with with the SS games I at first gravitated toward Bally/Williams titles, however, I must admit that Stern has worked its way into my favorites and I have a new respect for Stern. I have my 6th pin inbound this month but have absolutely no room for any more. Of course, that is what I said when I only had 4 pins!
