I passed on one as my first machine 4 years ago. I've been kicking myself ever since. Any leads would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I know they are pretty rare. I'm holding out hope though. There was one in Springfield a couple months back that I missed by minutes.

Just watched a Deadflip episode. He has a Radical. At the risk of sounding like a hipster, Deadflip did not prompt me to want a Radical. I love System 11 Bally's. I have two. I would be up to trading the complexity of Stargate for the joy that my System 11'a bring me. Surely someone out there would do this. I'm up to driving 5 to 6 hours.

Radical! is surprisingly complex. It does a great job of making you spread the play field, it doesn't get more complex than having to hit about every shot on the play field or else the next guy is in line to steal your lock.

Also, the PAPA tournament ROMs are great for this game. The PAPA ROMS de-randomize the mega jackpot so it makes the game fair.

Good luck with your search, Radical! isn't THAT hard to find, but it's not easy for sure.

Maybe complexity isn't the right word. I'd be willing to trade a DMD modes-based machine with wizards for non-modes based, alpha numeric fun.

Thanks for the comment!

Agree.

I prefer system 11s to Dmds.

And Radical! IS hard to find.

No it's not, I have had 2 in the last couple years. Was fun at first but became a snooze fest after a couple months. Happy they are gone.

Maybe they are geographically concentrated? I don't see them often. When they do pop up, they are gone in an instant. However, I'm not inside a big circle of traders. I'm low on funds and pinball friends. I'm basically at the mercy of Craiglist finds.

As for getting bored with it, I've had my MA and Gameshow the longest and don't ever see them leaving. It takes all kinds, I suppose.

I picked both of mine up in the states. One in Ohio and one in New York which was for sale on pinside for sometime. MA is a better game but if you still like Gameshow then ya you won't get bored of Radical as Gameshow is terrible.

I'd love to help you out, but I am not of the opinion that it is a snooze fest and don't see it leaving anytime soon. Good luck with your hunt!

I've been playing Stargate tonight. I love how most of the modes aren't timed, but are only dependent on keeping multi ball going. Is there any other game like this? I'm kind of worried now that I'll miss it if I trade.

Long story short. Still looking for a Radical. I might just have to buy it out right.

I used to have a girlfriend that didn't like watching UHF when I needed a Weird Al fix. I'm so glad I dumped her, even though she made the best potato pancakes I've ever tasted.

Bump. Someone surely needs a change in their pinball lineup. Someone with a Radical. Someone who wouldn't mind that Radical finding a home that would love and cherish it forever.

I want some potato pancakes now.

It would look PERFECT by my other two Speaker-topped Bally System 11's. I'd eventually love to own all the yellow ribbed-flipper Bally's.

I've actually never played a Radical. Is there one around St. Louis I could try out?

Not sure. This Radical I played was at the Arcade Expo in Cali this last weekend. Hopefully Bugs Bunny Birthday Ball doesn't have yellow ribbed flippers, that game blows.

I had mine at CP Pinball for a while, about a month or so long I guess. I made a post on here about it when it was up there.

Everyone loved it!

PM me. I'd be happy to share my games if you're interested. I'd love to give Radical a few plays. Unfortunately, CP is gone for me.

BBBB doesn't have the blessed yellow flipper. I've never played it, but I've heard you're not too far off the mark.

This is how obsessed I am. I went back and found an email exchange I had a few years back where I passed on an $1,100 Radical. It would have been my first machine. I'm kicking myself. Agh!!

On a positive note, I'm a teacher and THERE'S A SNOWDAY TOMORROW!!!!

Good luck on your search. Maybe you could go out on your snow day tomorrow and do some "Radical" snowboarding to tie you over for now?

With my coordination that would lead to extended medical leave. Btw, I see you have the Mousin' guy avatar. What an amazing game! It will NEVER leave my collection.

Don't blame ya there!
I never played a Mousin' back in the day, but as a system 11 fan, I grabbed one when I had a chance figuring, How wrong can you go? I would rank it right up there in the top 5 system 11's anyway. Might be #1 for me.
Radical is another 11 that I would like to play, and probably own too someday. If you happen to find 2 of them in your search, drop me a PM. lol
