Do you love 80's pins? This is the thread to talk about them. Share your stories, games, repair tips, etc.
Let's set the bar to include games from 1978 until 1990. In between the em era and the dmd era.

I think I need to start a 21st century non-DMD club.

Big fan of 1980's pins. Have a High Speed, Strange Science and am currently fixing up a Heavy Metal Meltdown!

Generally well build pins, fairly reliable even though they're 30 years old now! Good stories, decent music, not overly complicated rules. IMO they've got a lot going for them.

Went to Northern Lights over the weekend and some of the 1980's highlights for me were:

Spacestation - Really got in to this game, would love to own one.
Pinbot - Good game. Not as much fun as Spacestation IMO
Police Force - A little on the easy side, but great fun.

Roadkings - OK game but the music is very annoying. Someone should hack this game and change the soundtrack.

Have played on quite a few of the 1980's Williams, Bally and Gottlieb games. Have a particular soft spot for the Steve Richie Williams games of the era!

I think I love 80's pins. What do you think? 36 games currently in my collection and only 4 of them outside of your range. I'll have to tell about my Meteor purchase. That's my favorite story, but before I can do that I'll have to take a few pics.

I'm with you, the 80's had some awesome titles out. I especially have love for the Gottlieb pins of the era.
