Well since I AM from the future ... My machines are... BATEA (Bill & Ted's) GB (Ghostbusters) EVSTHTZOPI (Elvira VS. The Horny Teenage Zombies on Paradise Island) <----- Specific aren't I? BJ (Beetlejuice) HP (Harry Potter) The real question is if those titles are from JJP, Stern, or some company that doesn't exist yet? By the way, did you bring back one of those future Sports Almanacs with you? I'd really like to know who wins the next 10 Super Bowls. :)

I have a friend who has one ONLY because he's the biggest BTTF nerd I've ever met. My little brother is a huge Back to the Future fan as well, and he's starting to get into pinball since I bought one(been over to play about four times now). I guess I'm just thinking ahead and trying to create cool mods for a machine that he doesn't even own(yet). Just adding more fuel to the fire.

I had a quick check on IPDB, which lists Sterns Wheel of Fortune as last in 2007. Before that you have to go back to the late 80's. My favourites to play are Paragon, Eight ball delux, Centaur and Flash Gordon. No room for mistakes on FG or the ball drains I thought Paragon was the first but on IPDB it seems that Future Spa was first?

Other stuff, Steve felt there was no future in pinball and that the industry was dead so went off to do some video games.

There is a lot more to Steve than just pinball.

Fish Tales: Original or Standard flippers? Post #5 in topic
Posted over 13 years ago by Outlane-Avoider – in Website ‐ Last reply over 13 years ago
My old FT had standard length flippers, and that was challenging enough. I have played other machines with the lightning flippers, and that small shortening of the flippers does make a lot of difference to gameplay. As you say ball times can be very short on FT, once that ball starts bouncing around off the slingshots, or dropping back down from the captive ball it often drains. That is part of how FT plays, it is a great manic fun game. I fully intend to own another one sometime in the future.

The 80's were a glorious time for movies. Indiana Jones Trilogy, The Empire Strikes Back, Back to the Future I & II, Die Hard, Lethal Weapon I & II. The list goes on and on. Oh, and the rise of Arnold of course! Not to mention it was a time when Tom Hanks still made comedies. Makes me think of The Burbs. It was a decade of excess and the movies reflected that. Ah, what a great period for film.

RFM seems to be moving faster in the lower 2k range and you never know now that the rights to future Bally/Williams pins are back in US hands maybe they finish the games that were never made.

Have you ever bought pins you weren't looking for? Post #8 in topic
Posted over 13 years ago by donjagra – in Website ‐ Last reply over 13 years ago
I sometimes wonder how many machines I would own if I weren't so restricted by space. I often see good deals on pins I have never played, but there have been quite a few that I only passed on because of space. If there was enough room, I would have a grand lizard, high speed, taxi, back to the future, and a heavy metal meltdown to name a few. All of them were posted around $500, but the wife would have a fit if I started putting machines in the bedroom, living room and kitchen.

Wow! If Jersey Jack gets Keith Johnson (Simpsons Pinball Party designer, who has been wanting to get back into pinball after the most recent Stern layoffs) to do a future pinball for them, Stern will have a formidabble arch-nemesis. Nabbing Dennis Nordman is pretty huge. His last glorious return to pinball design (designed some legendary pins like White Water and Elvira), resulted in one of Stern's biggest monster collectors on location....Pirates of the Carribean.
