Quoted from Darcy:Heat Wave is a fun game, go and get one, if you can a real good one.
I've never played it. The closest I've come is getting sucked into a bunch of games on Centigrade 37 and thought it was a blast! I'll add it to my wishlist.

Added.
Happy to take donations if anyone in the greater LA area wants to store it in my new pinball palace.
Quoted from Drewscruis:Um there not even close th being the same....
Obviously, he's trying to unload his Radical! on an unsuspecting NOOB like me.

must be, I have both ww and es next to each other and they are a nice pairing.
Quoted from Drewscruis:must be, I have both ww and es next to each other and they are a nice pairing.
Just as God intended!
Quoted from zh2oson:Hmmmm...you make a compelling case. Do you happen to know someone who'll cut me deal on a good Radical! that doesn't have crappy optos?
I don’t have a lead on one, but your in Cali, I bet one pops up from time to time
(Hint: follow me and you’ll see my collection)
I own es, ww, rad, taxi, sof, spacestation. I think es and ww are too similar for a small collection (ahem... I mean big collection in your palace) rad and ww are just dissimilar enough that they’d pair very well. If I had to re do my collection all over again, I’d get maybe sof and spacestation and rad and call it. (As far as system 11 goes) but that’s just my silly lost in the desert opinion

I love Taxi . I'd consider one.
I've only ever played Radical! once, so maybe I should try playing it some more. That is pretty high praise.

Dammit. doomid just added Space Station to his lineup at Ayce Gogi here in LA. Now, I have to head over and play it.
Woot woot! Got me a space station. Well actually it’s the wife’s. But it was our first and it will never leave. Great pin!
Quoted from heni1977:Woot woot! Got me a space station. Well actually it’s the wife’s. But it was our first and it will never leave. Great pin!
I've never played.
I wonder if our four-year old can fend for himself tonight. Probably.
Quoted from Drewscruis:I think you should get a funhouse, then you would have someone to talk too at home!!!
Rudy could watch my son and then I could go out to the bar.
Great thinking!
I want to second this motion.
I tried to get my Waterworld pin to watch my kids, it put them in a trans of trying to shoot the boat and collect Pure Dirt, they tried to run away, it kept saying “did I say anyone could leave!?” Creepy, I bet Rudy’s much better
Quoted from Chosen_S:Creepy, I bet Rudy’s much better
The therapy costs down the road are going to be problematic for me on this.
Quoted from zh2oson:STEP 16:
Roll in an actual game.
I must admit, I was really disappointed with the condition of your front yard. No appliances on the front porch and not a single car on blocks in the front yard.
Quoted from PDX_Pinball:I must admit, I was really disappointed with the condition of your front yard. No appliances on the front porch and not a single car on blocks in the front yard.
Just a big white moving truck with the incorrect name of its color painted on it.
Oh and a yard full of manicured grass, that no one has stepped on... ever
Quoted from zh2oson:The therapy costs down the road are going to be problematic for me on this.
Then get a roadshow, red and ted can be the therapist's....
Quoted from PinPatch:I'll say it again, love the photo descriptions!
You get what you pay for in this thread.

Photoshop.
Quoted from Chosen_S:Just a big white moving truck with the incorrect name of its color painted on it.
Swamp Holly Orange was chosen as the color for Yellow because it is highly visible and the founders wanted to help increase road safety for their drivers.

To be fair, my gameroom is a Ford Escort because my yard is a Lambo.
Quoted from Chosen_S:You can do much better than ES, it’s too similar to WW... you need a Radical!
Radical is a bit too low on the Pinside 100 for me. I'm more of a group-think kind of guy.
Quoted from Drewscruis:Then get a roadshow, red and ted can be the therapist's....
Twice the creepiness for half the price. I like it!
If I started a GoFundMe to purchase both of these, what sort of response do you think I'd get?
and
It would be like dropping a GT40 engine in my trusty Escort!
Quoted from heni1977:Screw that magic girl more like magic junk!
I wouldn't know...I've never played it.
Quoted from zh2oson:I wouldn't know...I've never played it.
Although...I did see it through a window when I was out at the Museum of Pinball in Banning this March.
Quoted from Chosen_S:If I had to re do my collection all over again, I’d get maybe sof and spacestation and rad and call it.
I just found the Lionman thread here. Fantastic.

Got to have a good, creative reason. "Help me buy an emotional support pinball machine" probably ain't gonna work.
Quoted from mcluvin:Got to have a good, creative reason. "Help me buy an emotional support pinball machine" probably ain't gonna work.
Yeah but if it’s an “emotional support pinball machine” then I could take it on the airplane with me right?
Quoted from merccat:Yeah but if it’s an “emotional support pinball machine” then I could take it on the airplane with me right?
I suppose you could try.
Quoted from PDFVT:I didn’t start it
He don't know better. I heard escorts leak exhaust fumes into the car.

I'm the 2017 Varkon Champ (at least that one time) and have the trophy to prove it.
Quoted from zh2oson:Although...I did see it through a window when I was out at the Museum of Pinball in Banning this March.
Magic girl is like a pretty 3D painting with lights, no gameplay, consider it a prototype that never got coded
Radical is low on the 100 because people in the know are very few.
Quoted from mcluvin:Got to have a good, creative reason. "Help me buy an emotional support pinball machine" probably ain't gonna work.
I mean, my quest for a few sweet pinball machines probably doesn't make the top 100 of worst GoFundMe attempts:

Better than the emotional support peacock if you ask me:

Pinball is the best.

Wow. Those trophies are legit.
This is the best thing I've ever won:
Quoted from Chosen_S:Magic girl is like a pretty 3D painting with lights, no gameplay, consider it a prototype that never got coded
I'm really bad at pinball, so this seems right up my alley!
Quoted from Chosen_S:Radical is low on the 100 because people in the know are very few.
There are 29 people following this thread, so now that's gonna change!
Quoted from zh2oson:If I started a GoFundMe to purchase both of these, what sort of response do you think I'd get?
I'd love to help out but I'm still trying to recover from the great beanie baby market crash of 1999.
Quoted from PDX_Pinball:I'd love to help out but I'm still trying to recover from the great beanie baby market crash of 1999.
Rumor has it that Supreme is dropping a custom Beanie Baby this summer. I say you double-down and let's talk again in July.
EDIT: Appreciate the kind thought either way, though.
What is the spiritual antithesis of of Ford Escort? Maybe a Rolls Royce? This came across my Twitter feed yesterday and I'll admit, I wasn't aware that you CAN'T steal the hood ornament from one of their cars:

I think I just got an idea of keeping people from playing my Tron.
