That own a Night Moves.

http://pinside.com/pinball/archive/night-moves

Maybe the best cocktail pin ever made (disclaimer: I have not played them all). Sweet tunes and multiball plus it is a John T design.

I grabbed one yesterday from the original owners in Elgin, IL. I had to feel slightly sad for them as they paid $3470 when brand new. It came with all the original paper work and adverstising flyer, so if anyone is interested I can load up the info into the pictures database...

This one is pretty rough and won't currently boot up, but man am I stoked to add it to the collection!

i think Todd (Tuckey) recently overhauled one. pretty cool idea and it ended up looking nice. Carribean Cruise was another sweet cocktail pin.

Sounds like you are on a roll. I was looking at the Gold Rush EM down there but can't find a good backglass yet. Had that game as a kid. My brother has one in his living room. Might end up driving down there yet.

I have been steadily building a collection of what many other would deem crap games but I love the tunes and the cheese factor!

I disagree, lots of good titles. Nothing better than playing someone's collection and finding stuff you have never had any time with before. I have a bunch of "B" titles that are just as fun as MM at 1/3 the cost or less.

LOL Dave. You know I would love to get a TAF for my bro, but you will miss yours if you sell it and I don't have the cash to add on top of FT in order to make that trade.

side note : all talk is premature anyway as no promise I will even be able to acquire the game... You know how these things go.

Night Moves is pretty rad...I'm a bit more partial to Caribbean Cruise as it's running on Got Sys 3 & had higher quality music & voice samples....but the two of them are a great cheesy pair, and I've often been tempted to grab a Night Moves to go along with my Cruise!

Yeah, the plan would be to find him his first pin, clean it up, and gift it to him. He really wants a TAF but that is well outside of my range, unless you are crazy enough to trade me fora nice FT.

I paid $200.00 for mine, its not as good as night moves, but my kids like to play it because they don't have to stand on a chair to play it.

Take five is a decent game. Somewhat slow, but fun. I would not mind owning one, and would probably have to pay more than that.

There's an oxymoron if there ever was one. "Best" and "cocktail pin" don't belong anywhere near each other in any sentence.

Just personal preference, I've never met a cocktail pin I've liked. Maybe it's the laying on the friggin' floor thing to fix them.

I thought cocktail pins were a joke until I brought a Night Moves home. I bought it cheap and my intent was to flip it for beer money.

Then while test playing after shopping it out, I fell in love with it. That was about three years ago and I still love it. I liked it so much I had to go buy the sister game, Caribbean Cruse.

My favorite thing to do is get a pinball snob to play it with me and see them getting into it. Or catch them later on during the party playing it all by themselves.

FYI: These are the only two cocktail games with multiball.

You wouldn't be saying that if you ever played an Eros One . Also they never breakdown so you never need to repair them .

haha yeah my NM didn't work when I bought it, and had all kinds of problems I had to fix on the mpu and sound board. It was a friggin PITA bending over dicking around with the boards inside for sure!

Quoted from Mr68:

I notice the same thing. Pinheads have to try it, and once you get the rules, with the changing mystery award, and how pivotal each one can be at different times, they see how interesting a machine it is.

I really like it. It's strange for a lighthearted 80s dance/club theme to have lasers and explosion sounds, which even makes it more funny when playing.

Great for that spot where you can't get another full size machine too. I have all may machines on the three walls of my 35x25 game room, and this in the middle on one side. I have had the other side open and ready for CC once I get some fine pinsider to sell me one!

Yeah, lots of sad stories with this game. Lots of suckers that thought the would get rich quick. The couple I bought the game from were super nice and the old guy said he played the thing for hours each day after he brought it home from his "location". His location was a dance club where they apparently never turned it on because it was too loud in the club to hear the game. He thought he possible made $75 on the thing.

Does anyone know exactly what the deal was with these? Did international just contract out to GTB and hence got everything in the deal, including John T as designer?
