Its High Speed for me and I still have my first love.
27 years and still counting.

#102 6 years ago

ACDC Premium and I still have it.

#103 6 years ago

Bought my first game in September. It is a DE Playboy 35th Anniversary. Started tinkering with low level updating and got hooked. I bought my second machine in December which was Evel Knievel. I can already tell that this hobby is eventually going to run me short on space and money. LOL

KISS, still have it (20+ years).

We had games growing up but Black Knight was the first I bought myself a few years back.
Sold it a month later for a hs2.

#106 6 years ago

My first was a Zaccaria Queens Castle and i still have it. Bought that just over a year ago and i now have 6 machines, how does this even happen?!

Lol. I currently have 9 machines and I’m leaving within the hour to pick up a taxi. I have room for five machines, but somehow they are all set up to play with exception of a bad cats project that I broke down last night so I could move the taxi in. We have a sickness. But honestly it makes me happy and we could all have much worse vices, am I right.

I know I am not alone in the overcrowding of pinball machines. I know people that have them everywhere.

Very true Gorgar for the first machine here. Have a 13 game collection currently and have sold 23. Been a fun 4 years!

Couldnt agree more! I currently live in a small 2 bedroom flat and right now the only room without a pinball machine in is the bathroom. My partner isnt too pleased with the collapsed up Xs & Os in our main bedroom at the moment

Strange, I too have the multiplying pinball disease. Very addicting.

#112 6 years ago

Jurassic Park! Had a nice time playing it with some friends last night.

#114 6 years ago

FIRE!

Bought at 15. Still have it. If I ever had to get rid of everything, it be the only thing to keep.

#115 6 years ago

The original World Cup Soccer my Dad got me and I got TFTC as my first DMD game.

#116 6 years ago

First game was Williams Grand Prix just off route, that I got as a kid in 1977. Still have it but rarely play it. First game as an adult was Williams Klondike.

#117 6 years ago

Creature from the Black Lagoon back in 2003. I traded it away in 2010, but missed it, and picked up a nicer one in 2013. That one's here to stay.

#118 6 years ago

TAF, sold it a while back to get a MB. Don’t regret it ... well, a little. They’ve gone way up in price lately!

TAF was my 2nd machine, and I also sold mine to get a MB. As fate would have it, last year I got a smoking deal on a 2nd MB machine that I sold in order to get a really nice TAF back in the lineup. The circle is now complete, and they face each other in my game room.

#120 6 years ago

Pinball Magic, still got very good memories of that one. Really an unique pin.

#121 6 years ago

Police force was the first pin I bought back in 2016, I still have it and added 10 more titles to the lineup.

Grand Prix

I see the problem, you have the head on backwards.

#124 6 years ago

1957 Gottlieb Rainbow.
My father bought it for me in 1970 when I was 12.
I started fixing it when I was 13.
I still have it.
I’ll leave the house feet first before the Rainbow does.
