Quoted from hoov:

Congrats on the Abra!
my personal 70's fav's right now
Abra Ca Dabra
Atlantis
El Dorado
Jacks Open
Dimension or 2001

Great line up there. I have 2001 (wasn't expecting to like it as much as I do. I go back to it again over and over) Had an Atlantis before I was really into EM's years ago and didn't know how to work on them so we sold it. I'm still kicking myself over that one.

Also, Team One is the sister to Abracadabra and is the add a ball. The art of Abra blows it away but the add a ball is more fun IMO.

Quoted from Aurich:

Heh, I do know better than to make broad sweeping pronouncements (one pin will be enough!) but I really enjoy modern, deep, games. I have no real interest right now in trading them out for EMs. Maybe if I wanted to let Elvira go I could go from System 11 to an EM, but I'd be more likely to find an 80s solid state if I wanted "old school" swapping.
I just like pinball. Would I like to put another wedgehead next to ACD? Sure! I'll keep an eye out for something fun. But I don't have the space to really have a large EM collection without giving up games I'm not really interested in losing.
The hunt is half the fun, I'll just take it as it comes, no need to make grand plans.

It's hard to plan. You just have to be open to what comes available. We have run so many games through our collection just taking in games as we find them then turning the ones we don't won't in the permanent collection over to others that do like them. I said I'd never own early 80's solid states and now have 3 so never say never. I like our collection and think it is very diverse.
