    Once again trying to decide what to bring to the Allentown show this year.

    I try to bring something that will appeal to everyone, but my options are limited. From the list, what would you like to see there? I can only bring one

    Thanks for participating!

    Chris

    I'd always do pinball magic as it's a game the most people aren't familiar with

    #3 4 years ago

    Bring Pinball Magic.

    #4 4 years ago

    Yet another vote for Pinball Magic - although Bad Cats would be a close second.

    Did you just get the Dr Dude? It doesn't show in your collection

    I don't have it yet, but will have it before Allentown.

    Loved playing your Bad Cats last year (I think it was yours!), but we've never played a Pinball Magic. Heard good things.

    Thanks! There were 2 Bad Cats there last year (one toward the back, and one closer to the vendors in the front). Mine was toward the front.

    I had Pinball Magic there I think 2 or 3 years ago and it got played constantly. It was a favorite for sure. it's one that many have never played.

    I've also never played Pinball Magic but have only heard good things. Would be a good itch to scratch!

    I think I’d probably bring PM, just so people can experience it. Though, given how parts for it are tough to come by—and every game played puts wear on things like the unobtainable flipper mechs, I can see why you’d have reservations.

    I’m in the same boat. I’d like to bring my Robo-War this year, but I have a set of brand new Now-unobtainable plastics I’d hate to see Get cracked from a ton of play at the show.

    It held up pretty well (minus an opto issue in the ball trough) last time I brought it to the show. I try to stay on top of my stuff should anything happen. I do have replacement flipper parts thought, so that shouldn't be a huge issue, or I could always switch to Williams mechs if needed as some have.

    Looks like that one is way in the lead for now.

    A little over 2 month to the show!!! Pinball Magic is in the lead, but there is still time to vote

    What, we only get to choose one?!

    Pinball Magic by a landslide, but i'd also like to see a POTO, which I haven't seen for probably 15 years.

    Bad Cats has a quirky theme, but after a game or two the "Meow meow meow meow" kind of makes me wish I was playing with the volume off

    Unfortunately I only have the means to bring 1 this year. I wish I could do more for sure.

    Looks like Pinball Magic is the clear frontrunner here.

    Time to start getting it ready! The show is coming up fast!
