My apologies if this has been asked before, but owning an EM Game has now happened for the first time in 25 years.

Are there any thoughts about adding color graphics, and or text to Award/instruction cards?

Sure, who cares, its paper to be replaced, but just wondering as it feels a bit sacrilegious to do.

Examples.

Thanks, I was being lazy, and didnt know if Drama was big here on this thread, or as it seems with a few pages,
a bit more humbleness for EM collectors!

I have only 2 red LEDs on the playfield, couldnt find anything I had that I liked for the playfield!

Likely its because of my summer memories of the game when new.

Nice Game....

Im guessing you think I have more time than you, O-din...??

Well, your right! HA!

Retirement is nice, so are naps!

Seriously...You guys dont grab a back glass graphic, and throw it on the instructions, or are there just
no cards, and cant be found?

Quoted from o-din:

I have plenty of time and play these games till all hours of the night.

One day, when Im on the other coast, Ill come knockin on your door for some games!

I play more after midnight as well.

Quoted from Electrocute:

Wished I had pics of the arcade that is now an Ace Hardware next to the Maitland overpass. It was called "Sunshine Playland" and was open for only one year, 1975. Arcade took up the north side, Lee & Rick's oyster bar on the south. There was also a miniature golf course, "Goony Golf" which closed in 1983.

I lived at Goony Golf, and of course enjoyed the Oysters at Lee and Ricks....But I never knew the arcade.

We played at the Maitland Billiard Center.....Sky Kings, Dynomite, and Flicker.

The Altamonte Mall and Fun Machines...

But also at Butler Plaza, there was a Pizza shop, with at different times from 3-12 pins...Ever hit that one...?

And the bowling alleys and inconvenience stores.....shoot there was a ton of pinball in the small town
back then!

Im officially a senior citizen cause I can now say, "Ah....the Good old days! Nickel Pinball !!"

#9314 6 years ago

Tilt in the WP Mall.....Forgot about that. I can now recall the whole gameroom!
Took dates there in 74!

Shoot, now the memories flood back.

We owned the building next to Millers, now Fannie Hillman, and played the games across the street on
a daily basis...Im 57.

2 old timers with EM Memories.....

Quoted from ckcsm:

Looks like a neat machine.
That blonde all the way in the back with the cowboy hat looks like she needs someone to go on a ride with her.

Love the Art! Somehow all the women were beautiful, endowed, and anxious!

Where are we now?

#9485 6 years ago

Nothing but great Memories....

Can anyone else recall the sounds and smells of the EM days?

A few come to mind.....The Boardwalk and the beach...Coppertone smell, Transistor radios, The Beatles, and The Beachboys....the smell of Cotton Candy, Boardwalk Dogs, and Roasting Peanuts!
