Love the graffitti, would leave it alone........adds something to the pinball, besides, those EM's can use all the enhancement they can get because they're way more fun than playing 'em!!!

Hahaha!!! Don't mess with the Hoff! I meant, they need all the decoration they can get, graffitti or otherwise 'cause they look wonderful, but playing them? Not so much, Just some friendly razzing!!

Guess that one fell flat, that'll teach me to write from work so late in the very loooong day!!!

Wickerman2, I've tried, I really have - but I have a feeling that trying them at shows isn't the best way - they probably aren't set up nicely or in the best playing condition (hell, you cann say that about most ALL the games at show, but that's another thread......) - I would welcome someone turning my opinon around, but for now........I guess it's what you grow up with, I was around for the SS craze when Volcano and Haunted House, Bride of Pinbot were the arcade stars.......

Someone had a great post about that graffitti with all the band members looking like something done by bored teens, and not really "matching" the expected graffitti of high scores, names, etc. That's a spot-on observation, that drawing would have ended up anywhere there was a smooth place available, and the pinball just happened to offer the space. I like the idea of creating the side graphics on a thin piece of board so you can cover the side and still have the graffitti there just to show as a piece of interest.

As for the EM's, they will never be equalled for their artistic merit, the SS machines cannot hold a candle to that aspect of pinball - the artwork is truly amazing and something to be enjoyed. For that I love them........
