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!
