Same here!
BSD 1995
Tommy, I've had it for over 12 years. LOTR is also a long term keeper at over 10 years.
Jet Spin, my favorite roto-target game, bought it Aug 2016. The pins I already had then are gone, but that one’s a keeper.
Quoted from jake35:What number is your gold? That’s amazing to be one owner
My TAFG number is 823

Gottlieb Roller Coaster. Christmas gift for the kiddos. Can’t see it leaving till they may want it for their home or appt. then I’ll have room for CV.
It’s one of those games that doesn’t have a deep rule set it any of that stuff but it makes you earn your points. You don’t just hit a pop number and get thousands of points. Think I’ve only rolled it over once but then I suck at pinball
Quoted from Sputnik:For a pin, Aztec. For a game Robotron 2084, l`ve had it 45 years.
Did you get this new? Robotron came out in 1982 which would make it 38, no? Not doubting, just thought I was confused

Quoted from The_Director:Just for fun, what's the longest man standing in your gamerooms and how long have you had it? For me, Bally Doctor Who. Has stood the test of time to stay planted on the gameroom floor for 8 years now. Has seen many, many other games come and go.
Space Shuttle- game we played when dating (1984), 1st game we bought when we got room for a pin in our house, 1st game I restored...had it since August of 2001...
LOL!! I must be getting old!! Didn't know I'd already posted this!!

Williams Black Knight, 21 years, it was the third or fourth game I bought and I've now owned over 150 since I started collecting pins and vids.

Not much of a story here! Was looking for a regular Addams Family in 1994, but I could not find any that were in the condition I wanted. So I bit the bullet and bought a brand new TAFG. Lots of people thought I was nuts paying so much for a game! Glad I did it!
#timboch :i always write down the number of plays. We had big brave for 10 years and played it over 2500 times in that period.

I started tracking plays late last fall. I wish I knew how many plays were originally on my Hi Deal machine when I got it over 40 years ago. I forgot to reset Tee'd Off when I bought it and STTNG I reset a few months after buying it. But the others I reset the day I bought them to track my plays. In hindsight, I wish I had left all of the original plays on them and started this spreadsheet when I bought them.

My first and I only appreciate it more with time. One day I'll spend the money and do a full restore. Worth it

I've only been collecting for three years. My budget is decent sized, but relatively static so I've gone through many machines trying to find the right fit. Bought a NIB Total Nuclear Annihilation in December of 2018 and it's my longest standing machine. Can't imagine it ever leaving.
My Chicago Coin Duchess Bowler and Pac-Man cocktail table have been with me for about 24 years.... though my bowler is "on loan" to a friend, since it won't really fit into my current home.
Terminator 2
- Purchased NIB, November 1991.
- First pin I ever bought in my life - new or used.
- Game still looks like it was unboxed yesterday. Even the hot pink accents on the cabinet are essentially mint with no fading at all.
- Was fortunate enough to tour WMS at Pinball Expo that year while they were on the line.
T2 will never leave.
