I used Special Force in the PPE tournament in 2011. It's an awesome and rarely seen game, and about as non-PC as you can get. The sounds and music put you right into the "mow down commies" '80s war movie of your choice, and your job is to blow up an Asian village to rescue the hostages, complete with little Asian hut pop bumper caps. Your bonus counts down to sounds of machine gun fire and rockets exploding.

The game is an electrical nightmare. It took a lot of work to get it playing solid. Then, as luck would have it, it got dropped off the truck ramp on its way to the tournament. When I showed up it was in a maze of vices being glued back together. Good times.

You'd not only get all the help you need, my guess is the moment the playfield got lifted, every collector and tech would swarm it for a look under the hood.

Hey folks. Looking forward to PAGG this Friday! I hope everyone is jazzed for this one.

I'm dropping a few nice items into the raffle and tournament. I have two limited edition prints of Zombie Yeti's artwork for the Alice in Wonderland backglass art, signed and numbered by the artist (30/50). Good luck to all!

See you at the show!

Here's the vid of the first PAGG tourney:

Hope to see you competing again!

It's a British Car Show. Sometimes some weirdos show up with pinball machines.

I guess my friend Erin thought this was a cosplay event and came as Mario.

Not sure if it was mentioned, but at PPM they use a "square". It's basically four 4"x2's (or thereabouts) bolted together to make a square. You lift the front or the back of the game and slide it under so the game rests on the other two legs, adjust leg levelers and drop it back down.

Super cool. Congrats to all involved. Great show and it's great to see the proceeds went to a good cause.
