The very first was a GTB Roller Coaster, a Christmas gift fir my two kids. Really bought it for them. Played it a little. After about two weeks I would guess kids were not really into it any longer so I played it a little. Then realized there were others that I could identify better with and there I went! Have nine now and play them occasionally. Enjoy making them look and play great actually more than playing.
Recently picked up a nib gnr and have played that somewhat. Maybe have 50 plays. Fun but hard! Just picked up a fish tales and really like that. Had one before and wanted to get it back.
Really like the art packages on the games. Dont even have to play then but simply admire them and get my fill mostly by doing that.
At this point have no more room for any additional games so I have worked to get the collection dialed in and feel that it is where I want it as again, have no more room.
They all have stories behind them. Where I got them, reason for getting them, work put into them etc.
I too in the 80’s was into videos and have a couple that I played a lot but those rarely get used. They got cleaned up and look great but the pins are what get played more even though they don’t get played much. They look great and play great though when I do and that is good fir me. I just try to keep that damn ball from draining. Rules, you mean there are rules lol!!!
