I really wish I'd kept my Spooksville (http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=2298). The playfield was reverse-printed, and you played by looking at a mirror. The flipper buttons were on handles, which you could shake to nudge the game (Allied called it "Shaker Ball"). I sold it cheap after I restored it, because I didn't know how to work on EMs yet, and it was giving me fits. Would have made a great league pin, just to hear the cussing.

I swear, that before i opened and read this thread,
i was going to say Spectrum and Spooksville and Sea Hunt,
which i still have all three.
My Valley Spectra IV sit down 4player cocktail pin
with revolving playfield is kinda strange too.
And then there is the CCoin Championship Rifle Range
which is kind of a hybrid of pinball and gun game.

Had an Orbitor 1 for about 4 months. My wife wanted it, then she got an offer for it and decided she wasn't that attached to it. I liked it and would definitely own another given the price was right.

I had some friends over today and I heard the comment - "that is the strangest game I've ever played" - Secret Service.

This reminds me of a good joke.

This guy sees a bear always watching him, from the forest behind his house. One day he goes out into the forest to scare off the bear with his pistol. He spots the bear, shoots towards the bear. The bear disappears, circles around, and swats the hand gun away from the man. The bear then tackles the man and has his way the guy. Next day the guy is still pissed off. He gets his shot gun, heads back into the forest. He sees the bear, shoots and misses. The bear charges the man, grabs the gun and takes it away from the guy. Once again, the bear has his way with the guy. On the third day the hunter brings into the forest with him an AK47. He can not find the bear. Later, as he hiding, waiting for the bear. The bear taps him on the shoulder and says, "You don't really come here for the hunting do you?"
