    Quoted from ForceFlow:

    Honestly, I would go with any gottlieb system 3 game. They are built like tanks, and it would be able to take the physical abuse from a rowdy bunch of college students.

    Quoted from Dr_Gonzo:

    Don't put it in a public place. I work at a university and have seen flipped over pool tables, ping pong tables destroyed, etc. If it's in a public place it will disappear or get trashed.

    I have to agree that my first suggestion would be no pinball. I just think it would get torn up too easily with drinks and parties.

    Are there any barcades nearby?? Give him a monthly pass. That would be my recommendation.

    If you must go with a pinball, gottlieb system 3 or williams system 11 would be the best. All built well, many options under 2k, and a bunch of great games to choose from.
