    hey, it was a good year...my birth year....

    A lot of really good games from that year, don't forget Black Hole and Pink Panther are in that class too.

    Quoted from ForceFlow:

    As high as the market allows.
    Personally, I won't pay any of those $2k+ prices for these titles. I think those prices are completely ridiculous. But some people want the game bad enough, so they have no problem paying those prices.
    Those games are fun, but not quite $2k+ fun. I'd rather put the funds into newer DMD games.

    Eight ball deluxe is 2k+ worth of fun all day, everyday in my opinion.

    Same with Joker Poker, but joker poker sells for half

    Quoted from Gatecrasher:

    You got that right. EBD is the best pin ever made made period IMO.
    I had my EBD sitting right next to a Stern AC/DC, a Metallica, and an Adams Family on the other side and guess which machine got the most play?

    I currently own two of them, and I try not to play it because then I can’t stop playing.

    Quoted from tomdrum:

    I'm amazed at the prices that 81 Bally project games are bringing. EBD with blown out PF, bad BG, beat up cabinet and missing MPU, $1250. Centaur at public auction, no keys to head (couldn't verify it had a board set), stored in damp basement, not working, decent PF & BG. $2250 sale. I've been actively looking for a FG or Medusa for a year under $1500, when they pop up, they're gone in minutes.

    I believe you’re referring to the EBD I bought in the Allentown flea market missing the mpu, paid $1200 as they took $50 off, and would tomorrow if another came up.
    I have it up and running and cleaned up and she’s a player in every sense of the word, backglass has bubbling at the bottom that’s hard to see, playfield is average with Mylar but definitely not blown out, cabinet is faded, but not beat.
    I saw the potential, no way I could leave it and glad I didn’t.
