The game that really got me into pinball was Secret Service. After a falling out with the day care I was going to after school, my mom decided it was cheaper to just give me an extra $3-5 with my lunch money to play at the bowling alley across from the school. They had three pins: the aforementioned Secret Service, Road Kings, and High Speed. There was an old guy that smoked a lot that used to play the High Speed. But the best part of all of this, is that the replay score on Secret Service was a paltry 400,000. They say it was "stuck" there for some reason. (A more typical replay score level would be 1.1 to 1.5 million.)

The sad thing is I only went to this school for about three months and this arrangement only lasted about the last 7-8 weeks of them... At one point years later I went back to this bowling alley and the best game there was a Bally Game Show with no feature lights working at all.
