That sure looks like a cool game. Never played xfiles before. Congrats!

Welcome to the x-files owners club! Let me know if I can be of any help. And there is a stereo mod that you can do to fix the single speaker issue.

She looks like a beauty for sure.

Never played a X-Files, but I really like my SST. Don't see those around very often. Congrats on the new pin!

I like X-files relatively simple but fast and fun if you like the theme.

Good find

Congrats and enjoy your new toy

I has a want! looks great!

Hey congrats!! I got to work n play a bit on a friends liked the FBI pop up. Hope you end up loving it.

Nice (soon-to-be) pickup! By this time next year your pins are going to need their own house.

Nice looking pin and great attitude.
Seems like some machines have the "Cool becasue everyone wants one" type popularity.
Awesome that you can find one that fits you.

Congratulations! I've never played one but it looks really cool. This one appears to be in really nice shape too.

I loved the X-Files show, but didn't like the pin the first couple of times I played it. However, I played another X-Files pin a few weeks ago, and I payed attention to the modes and what I was supposed to be doing, and I found myself starting to enjoy it quite a bit. I'd definitely add one to my collection if I got a chance.

Congrats and have fun with it!

Congrats on adding another pin!

Boy oh boy gotta say though....this pins gotta face that only a die hard X Fan could love!

Meaning no offense at all but this pin is uuuuuuggly,when i first layed eyes on one i thought it looked home made! Wheres the art? the playfield and cabinet are bare!

I hope you have played first cause for me gameplay is only marginally better than she looks

Anyway i love that you love it........ i have my own guilty pleasures in SF2 and Freddy

congratulations looks like a nice clean game. I think you are gonna love it. I feel the same way about these b and c games XF looks real good with LEDs!

Hey, someone stole my picture! lol. Yes, this machine looks great with LEDs installed. Here is a picture of the full playfield of the machine above. The game doesn't have the deepest rule set, but it is a challenge as a number of the shot are pretty tight.

I'd actually like to give one of these a try, being a fan of the series it would be a cool theme if developed well!

Its not your picture its a pic of mine! I probably did steal your color layout though (Google images x-files LEDs) it looked so good I tried to copy it as best as I could.
shit i just noticed this is your picture I put green post sleeves on mine I guess I dont have any of mine on this comp.

Congrats man! X-files looks like a fun game. I was a HUGE fan of the series as a kid. I'm on the same page as ya with the B and C titles. Have fun! (PM me when you're done with this game, I'd be all over that deal)

Congrats on your 4th pin. Have fun and enjoy!

X-Files is a fun game. More fun than a new TF LE for a lot less money...

Wow, that X-Files looks EXACTLY like the one sitting in my game room right now.

Look forward to meeting you this weekend Jeremiah!

Very clean, nice find, DAMN it looks sweet with LEDs and I'd like one now as I finally had some quality time on a machine last year.

Congrats! It's a pin I would like in my collection. Love the show so it's almost a must get for the wife and I

Scasey it look awesome w leds

I've played Todd's X-Files and it looks and plays incredible just like all the other games in his collection! Nicest X-Files I've seen or played hands down. You're going to be very pleased when you pick it up this weekend. It's a fun and fast game and I'm going to be sad to see it go.

I have found the "underdogs" great as well..

Just added 24 and CSI..settings on hard and extra hard on some of them..tight shots and refreshing PF layouts...i and loving them both.....

i have been through and or played to death most of the A listers, and they have all gone away...

TZ i would like to replace one day here....

Current in house line up..Sopranos, DH, CSI, 24, Airborne, IM Genesis...

and a boatload of SYS80B games and a few SYS 3's as well...

All keepers for me....

Cause they are cool and STUPID EXPENSIVE doesnt mean they are ALL THAT !

Scully looks good on that back glass!!

nice and its in really nice condition, congrats

Congrats on your XF pickup.

nice pick..that is a good looking machine....

Congrats!!! Looks great!

I'm a huge fan of the X-Files show and movies. I live in Orlando and so I have several places where I can pay&play. However, while I like the diversity of that lifestyle, I think it's time for me to settle down. So I've been looking at getting my first pin. My budget is not much so that immediately kicks out the A-list games like TZ, TAF, and TOM. Some of the B-list games too like LAH, TFTC and RBON. So I've been looking at C-list games. Besides the really awesome theme of X-Files, I've noticed a striking similarity to another game that I've played alot and really enjoyed. TOM. Yeah, I know I know, how dare I blaspheme against the A-list holy top ten, but hear me out. There is a tight inner loop just like TOM that feeds directly back to the center, the cabinet eats balls on the third hit just like TOM (it's just in a different location (center instead of left)), and the right ramp with the trap door directly in front of it is almost a total rip-off of TOM! The play is supposed to be fast and tight just like TOM. Hell, it even looks like TOM... just kidding! Maybe if you were sprayed with mace in a dark room, lol. I'm just saying, the setup of this game is about as original as a Micheal Bay film. Someone said something about imitation, flattery, and some other such nonsense I don't remember.

Ok, so since I like the theme, and I see such similarities to another game that I really like to play but can't possibly afford, I'm kinda sold! There's just one problem. On the entire internet, there's not one single good video of this pin. I checked. For months. There's like 6 videos on youtube but the steadycam vids are all glare shots where you can't see anything except reflections off the glass and everything else looks like it's filmed with the Cloverfield shakeycam or the "friend" filming is too busy filming the backglass instead of the action. Papa has nothing, Pinball.org has nothing. there's nothing on Vimeo. There's not even a crazy loner fansite.

I'm waiting to make my purchase until the Southern Pinball Festival since I have heard horror stories about ebay (and the prices are just waaaay too high) and I haven't found anyhting on craighslist that wasn't 14 hours away. So, I figured that since you have a nice new machine that you're probably just dying to show off and I have time to kill until SPF, you might just do me an immense favor and set up an overhead camera, take the glass off, and play a game or two. See if you can make it all the way to blood. I would greatly appreciate it. And who knows, maybe you'll make the game popular again and shatter the conspiracy smear campaign of hate for this machine used to make the White Star boardset cheaper for new Stern machines. (yeah, I went there, they can't hide the truth forever!)

The truth is out there!

Good luck on the pickup. I have only played a couple of games of X-Files myself and that was 2 or 3 years ago so I really didn't know much about it and still don't. The pics look really nice.

Some nice video reviews of B and C titles would be great. I have 1 slot in my 3 pin lineup just for "give'em a try" B and C pins..mostly C though. I call it my pivot position. It's usually good for a pin to be there for about a year and then sell or trade for something different. I know one of these days though, I am going to fall in love with a game in the pivot position and then I will really be in trouble.

Just played it for the first time last week at Pinball Hall of Fame. Thought it was cool but had to walk away mid-game because it was set 5 ball and I had REALLY long ball times. Either it's easy or I just dominate... Hah. Would have normally finished the game but I was under time constraints.

Do it!

I know some people in the immediate area that would be very interested in that X-files if you ever get tired of it, but by the sounds of it you have the same emotional connection to the show that they do. Hope you have a blast with the new game! You blow me away with your new pin owning skills!

I will do the same- Todd is as good as they get. I have known Todd for 10 years now, and pretty much consider him extended family. He is as honest as they come and you will not have any surprises.

Just smile and act nice to him when you see his great lineup, and then he proclaims his greatest/favorite game is Dolly Parton. I am pretty sure he was raised on Hee-Haw as a child....

Looks very nice! Never played that game before. Are those red things real Drop Targets? Does the Baby In The Tube actually do anything? I wanna play one!!
