St. Clair Shores, MI
I'm not familiar with the older pins but it seems like there are none of these for sale. Doesn't make sense when they made over 17,000 of them. Just wondering what these are going for.

One of the last bargains in pinball.
I love the game...played one last year and just had to find one. Picked up one of off John Freel at Elkhart Pinball. He said it was the quickest sale he ever had. Sent a text to him...game sold, five minutes after he posted it on his site.
Quoted from abelelectronics:Ok appreciate the info. Is this a good game.
I wouldn't sell mine.

It's brilliance is in it's simplicity. Simple rules, fantastic shots, brutal speed for a game of that era, and a multi-ball to look forward to. Also, the first to have a display "animation."
As CrazyLevi said, it's one of the last bargains in pinball. You get a ton of bang for you buck on this one. If the price is right, go for it.
Played some FP last night at a friends and had a great time on it. Everyone who says pins are too much money and they can't afford anything need to change gaming eras. I think I only put more money in my pins because I am fortunate enough to to be able to afford it, but when I play a fun game like FP I wonder what the heck I am doing and why not strip it down to more affordable games I also enjoy playing? FP makes me feel like I am financially foolish.
FP is awesome. Love the faster speed of the music as you play longer and getting Multiball locked and starting it up. FP is a great back to the basics pinball game reminding me of why I play pinball and why it is so great!

You can have 1/2 dozen fun games for the price of one newer Stern.

True. My friend had Gorgar sitting right next to it also.
Quoted from Travish:I wish CPR would do another playfield run. People would be lined up. Me included.
This. And a run of back glasses (with the proper colors) wouldn't hurt. Are you listening CPR? PPS?
Not sure why I ignored this game. Gave it a shot in pinball arcade and it's pretty fun. I really want to play the real thing now as I'm considering buying one.
I just don't see any reason to go for a new overpriced/overrated Stern when I can get 3 fun games one of which could be Firepower.

Is your friend me, by chance?
