    I was lucky enough to have Atlantis, volley, road champion and black knight long with a foosball table and bowling machine in the late 70s/early 80s. Unfortunately, my parents unloaded them when I went to college. black knight was a hassle with targets constantly malfunctioning and the voice module giving out, we couldn't fix them and repairs were expensive. I got back into them in 2003 when i blindly bought DW and then TSPP nib. They have both been trouble free, luckily because I still have little technical experience. In the past few days, I sold DW as my kids don't get it and never play it. I really liked playing it, though, and will miss it. That now leaves a void and having recently gone to the silverball museum, i may have been bit again. I'm looking at FT and TAF, which I think are more family friendly. Can't believe how ridiculous prices have become so I may be waiting a while for a good deal.
