The unofficial 2014 pagg/ pin a go go thread

Only about two months away now. Cannot wait! Wondering what games people are hoping to see there.

Old favorites I am hoping to play: Terminator 2, Getaway, High Speed, Night Rider, Pink Panther (Never seen one outside PAGG, Im looking at you Blownfuse), Cactus Jacks (No idea why I like that game so much), Rollergames.

Rare games and games I have never played before: Spirit (I think there will be one, maybe more...), Baywatch, Punk, Bad Cats, Mousin around, Fathom, Special Forces (REALLY want to try that game), Elvira and the Party Monsters.

Mine was there last year. Did you get a chance to play it? It has since left the area, unfortunately.

So far (this may change if something happens and I only can fit 5 at a time in the van going home), I'm bringing,

Black Hole (to sell)
Spirit (X2)
Bounty Hunter (with NOS playfield swap)
Maybe 1 more, we'll see.

Possible thoughts,

Paragon (to sell)
F2K (to sell)
I'd prefer to sell before the show and bring collection games instead.

Black hole

Black Hole is CRAZY-good once it's tuned up (like any game). If you are even "thinking" about getting one, you should wrap up these purchases well before the show. I'm having a rough time not calling Black Hole the best game of all time, but Centaur keeps laughing at me when I say it...

Quoted from jonnyo:
The PAGG tourney will go on. Even if I have to run it myself. I promised Brad Grant back in December I would run it one more time if no one stepped up, but the good news is that apparently some cool peeps have. With the knowledge they bring to the table I know they'll do an awesome job, and likely make it better.

If I want to help with the tournament who should I contact?

I too am super excited about PAGG this year!
Again, just putting my feelers out there, but I'd love to possibly take home a pin.

Here's my short list of games that I'm in the market for:
Haunted House or a Black Hole, Rocky and Bullwinkle, Pinbot/Jackbot, Space Shuttle, Taxi, or maybe even Jurassic Park. I've only got room for one more, so the best condition/price will send me home happy.

I won't be going to PaGG this year as I'll be in Tahoe that weekend.

Was going to try to get my ST translite signed by Steve on Saturday, so if anyone from the Bay Area could perhaps do that for me, let me know.

He already signed my HS topper years ago, but may bring my repro HS PF and have him sign it under the apron.

He should tape all of them together and sign it GIANT in the middle, would be an improvement like Aurich said.

Yes, he does. He knows which colors look best on each game and he knows the best locations for autographs. If you want him to write something specific, say so. If you're not sure what you want him to write, he'll come up with something. Don't worry about colors or where to sign. On WPT, the location of his sig is perfect. Right next to the pair. d

Looks like Steve is going to get swamped with autograph requests. It would be nice for Steve and everyone else if folks didn't bring more than a couple of things to sign. Dude hasn't been back this way in years. Give him some time to get caught up.

Agreed, I think he will be sitting for a session though, so that will help rather than people swarming him for autographs.

does anyone know if I bring my translate if he charges to sign it? I am fine if he does.
