Hello All
I have finally got my collection to about where there all bolted to the floor pin wise. I am seeking a C37 and then I should be good for some time.

I have the good fortune of having several nice modern pins that by all accounts are great machines, work well, great shape blah blah but I head down to play and I seem to be loving the e/m’s again. Simple, fun and don’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure out all the rules.

Funny how these things happen!! Anyone else with the same phenomena happen to them??

Many times I walk right past Twilight Zone, Monster Bash, and Revenge from Mars and go to Jungle Queen or Minizag.
If I was stuck on a desert island, I would want EM games because I could keep them running with improvised parts...

Just seems like the em’s make you work for the scores. You don’t just hit one feature and get thousands of points or more. Seems more genuine. I guess I’m getting old if not already there

Absolutely! I don’t have any EMs but really enjoy them when I visit buddies houses. Sometimes you don’t want to deal with millions of rules and video screens or crazy shaking soundtracks

I don’t play them much, but when I do they are great. Atlantis, volley and Grand Prix are my three favorites.
