    Getaway! Though right now it is on tour. It has been at my girlfriends house, and it has been loaned out a couple of times. Right now it is with a friend and he is keeping it warm. Sometime down the road it will be back at my house and I will play the crap out of it for a while, then it will go back on tour. It is just a great little game. I had toyed around with selling it a while back, but I just couldn't. I've never seen one on location that played anything like mine does, which is why I just can't get rid of it.

    Quoted from cosmokramer:

    My getaway is also on loan...I use it to try to bring others into the hobby...

    I've always found it to be the easiest game to explain. Stoplights and run from the cops! For some reason people get it, even if it is their first exposure to rules in pinball.

    I said this 3 years ago, and it’s still Getaway. It’s been a couple more places since then. It spent some time in my office, and another friends house. And now it’s back at my house. Changed some lighting, added a playfield protector, but it still lives on with me. I wouldn’t even consider selling it.
