    A different kind of spinner shot, but very satisfying when you get a good spin that doesn't get stopped by the ball. And 4 drop targets.

    Triple Action (70's).

    Multiplayer: Star Pool.

    Old Chicago. Great game yet difficult because of the exposed pop bumpers and no in lanes. Spinner is very satisfying because it's hard to hit with no in lanes.

    Somehow O-Din's Bon Voyage found its way to me. It was my first pinball purchase and I do like it a lot. Spinner smack in the middle. Also a captive ball and carryover bonus letters.

    The main character does wear a lot of "pink". I don't mind looking at her though.

    Merry Christmas everyone!

    Well, it's not like we live in the same county or anything.

    How did you bid farewell to the game when you sold it? Did you say Bon Voyage?

    I think I said "ola' to the cash.

    I really like the spinner in my Space Mission.

    True but it still had to go through at least one other person's hands. I think the history as far as I could determine it was interesting - it had a sticker on it indicating it was at one time in an arcade in Montana, then it was in Arizona where it was restored (by a Pinsider), then it was given away in a contest there in AZ. After that it ended up in your hands along the way, then over to Blenderheads's gang, then to me. Who knows what other travels it had over the last 40 years?

    My hero!

    Based upon what you've liked, let me offer another option: Williams Rancho! Great as a 1-player or 2-player and has wonderful artwork top to bottom.

    Love my Ballys but when it comes to spinners I think Williams ruled the roost with their trademark furious metallic *THWACK*.

    Also don't rule out Hot Tip. Another winner!

    I would also suggest the Freedom prototype but the flipper layout isn't what I'd call "standard"... and kind of hard to find one.
