    More than anything else, the question you want to ask yourself is what do you want to do? Looking at what you have right now these are that makes your display belly Williams games and newer. Now you may not be interested in older games at all but there's a lot of great games out there to be had that will offer a simpler, quicker and more direct experience. Quite often I'd see players coming to A event like pinburgh and they would be very comfortable on games with ramps and dot matrix displays but as soon as they stepped up to an electromechanical game their game just flew out the window they didn't know how to deal with what they were being confronted with. In some cases they would blame the pinball game calling it a look box or a bingo of sorts. So I'd ask you to consider expanding your horizons and look to other games that are older and while you are playing pinball offer a different experience.

    You can go out and find those games listed pretty easily. Finding older games is becoming more interesting as many of the collectors have snapped them up as compared to many of those games that have ended up in the landfill.

    Since the plague has stopped all the pinball shows from happening, see if you can get in touch with other local collectors that have older games in your area and go check out what they've got. Bring the family with you if you can. Stay safe while out and about and you may be in for a pleasant pin-surprise.

    Happy hunting!

    (There, that's a much better response...)
