Gooood Morning/Night,
What is your favourite EM?
I like Tripe Strike, Kings & Queens & Magic City.
Quoted from xplorer:i like Surf Champ - great game
Agree on Surf Champ. I also like Quick Draw.
Right now it's Time Zone, but that's probably only until my Card Whiz is completely working. By the way, Space Time/Time Zone seems to be pretty underrated when it comes to EMs. If you find one, check it out -- there's a LOT going on.
Centigrade 37. I'm a Solid State/DMD guy and this game never fails to entertain me.

I just got a Joust that needs to be made whole again, but a few trial plays were quite fun. A friend has a Bonanza, but I haven't played that one yet. The backglass is missing on that one though.
Quoted from Metalpin:Card Whiz and Fast Draw side by side.
We recently brought Card Whiz one back to life. It was in a dirty state. Cabinet & back glass in great condition.
Full play field strip down, parts cleaned by hand/machine.
Nice table.
I'm a huge EM fan, like way to many to pick only one!!
Favorites though would be Majorettes, Kings and Queens, Bowling Queen, Fireball, and Slick Chick.
Special mention to 1968 Williams Lady Luck, the game that got me hooked!!

Most any Gott wedgehead. Some favorite tables that come to mind, Quick Draw, Aquarius, Fireball, Nip It, Big Brave, 300, and of course (bad) wizard!
There's nothing like an arcade full of chime boxes. An arcade of modern machines is more a cacophony of noise compared to the symphony of a dozen or more chime boxes singing at the same time, punctuated by the distinct knock of a free game now and again.
I played a game with another thermometer mechanic on it at TPF...had rollovers that advanced the temp...was a lot of fun, but I can't remember the name? Heat Wave?
Yeah. That was the one.
Quoted from vid1900:I always wanted to find one of these for sale:
Ha! While looking over the bg, I total misread the text at bottom left on first scan.

LOL !
Yeah, I see where confusion could arise.
4 million BC! There is just something about an EM with a Three ball... "Multiball"!

Hot Tip was the first game that got me into pinball in the 80's. Did not play pinball for 20 years then got into again one day thinking of Hot Tip.
I have a Monoco (Cannes) the moving target is cool. Was my first pin.
I remember buying Strikes & Spares and looking in the backbox and cab wondering where all the parts were. Was weird having only an EM as my first pin.
My house had a Big Hit in college. I bought one a year or so ago and ended up selling it.....I still regret it

So wish I could find a CD on this side of the Atlantic, very rare game in North America!!
There was one at the PHOF... Next to the Wipeout if I can recall.
As for the thread,
Centigrade 37, Target Alpha, 4MBC, Abra Ca Dabra, Metro, Time Zone, Wonderland, Slick Chick...
Most recently the Hellacopters machine blew me away at PPE. The fit and finish was amazing!
Even the repro KOD would be cool to own... If it was cheaper!
Too many to choose from, but one I found to have an addictive strategic gameplay is Frontiersman (1954 I think...)... You have to play to get replays or it's meaningless (they were used as gambling machines then, so were designed for this)... Straight Shooter is also good... Buckaroo too, Target Alpha/Canada Dry are great for DT shooting... I liked Cover Girl too... and Masquerade... Would love to track down a Williams Jungle, the backbox animation and general artwork on that look excellent!
Quoted from NimblePin:There was one at the PHOF... Next to the Wipeout if I can recall.
That's the only one I've ever seen or played, drove me crazy but in a good way!

Spanish Eyes like the placement of the pop bumpers. Played it at the Riviera Hotel in Vegas, they have a bunch of pins there from PHoF that Tim put over there.
