Interesting to see what people's first purchased pinball was. Add your own - mine is below!

Mine was Data East Simpsons and I think I bought it in 1998. I had it for about a year and during that time, got my Doctor Who which played a lot better. I paid around $700 for it at an auction in Mt. Holly , NJ (Superauctions) and sold on eBay for $1200. I remember replacing a plastic and the bumper caps. I also had a few wires that needed re-soldering, but overall it ran well. Shoot the Ramp - Shoot the Ramp! TSPP is a lot better game - I still own that one!

I love hearing the stories guys; keep 'em coming! It's interesting to see how some people parallel you purely by coincidence. I'm sure a few of you know I got out of collecting last year and sold the bulk of my machines off only keeping 4 pins (DW, BOP 2.0, TSPP, and Bad Cats). Funny about "Getting Out" though. It's really hard to do. I've been almost as active as ever. Anyway, I still have most of my 2nd game - Doctor Who. I found a lower cabinet that was nicer than mine so I transplanted it in 2000 I think.
