****This is a Re-Hash of an old thread, see the last Post!****


OK, I have way to many Games, I am sure JVegas will understand this problem. I can "comfortably" seat 20 games, My website at the bottom shows a fairly current line-up, but there are a few additions and a couple gone by by. I have added Taxi, Strange Science, BSD, Stargate, Banzai Run and gone are TSPP, Congo, and JD. I am not opposed to selling some games and I am not opposed to buying some games, here is the Question:

If you could have any 20 Pinball Machines you wanted (15 if Hercules is one of them!) What would they be?? Seriously, ANY 20 Games regardless of era, price etc.

Thanks Dave

So you're the one who posted that on rgp !!

man it's a tougher question that I thought!

Yeah, I posted it there too, I saw your reply there, has it changed since you posted there??    By the way, you only posted 19! Holding out for future pins?

Dave

I don't want 20. I would just end up running around trying to keep them running perfectly all day. I go nuts when a single 555 burns out.

Awww, Come on, you are almost 1/2 way there already!!

Dave

era & price isn't the problem.... my pin fantasy is for the games i have to all be in working condition  

Quoted from gorydeath

wonder where that was directed?

Hehehe  Well, I kind of figured you knew where that was headed!!  

Dave

like sparky's idea of top em's, ss and such.

  some great em's out there that i wouldn't mind finding.

Mike

I might be interested in a Nice Black Rose too...

Dave

yep.  i would add a black rose .  also reading others list make it easy to pick out another 20+.  good part is, almost all on these lists are owned by one member or another.  come on everybody, we do kind of rock for a bunch of northerns.  hope that didn't sound too cheesy?

Quoted from gorydeath

hope that didn't sound too chessy?

Chessy...  hmmm..  like playing chess???  or like chess whez

Well it didn't sound chessy as much as it sounded cheesy...

lol

But come to think of it you're right..  we rock.    Would you like some wine with your cheese?

Mike

Quoted from MrMikeman

Chessy...  hmmm..  like playing chess???  or like chess whez

just be happy i didn't put chesty.

Not a pin guy and haven't played too many pins, but I should be able to get close to 20.

In no particular order, with some I own or have owned:

1. Haunted House
2. Tales from the Crypt
3. Twilight Zone
4. Pinbot
5. Flash Gordon
6. Johnny Mnemonic - Was fun
7. Lord of the Rings

12. Black Hole - Gotta love the spinning backglass

Darn, can't think of any more. I do like the older Bally's a lot though, so I guess there is a few more I could add.

I would maybe also want a nice Super Nova. But I heard that game is very rare and only one member of the group has one and will never sell it

Adam

  what bk2k!!!  where, where, where///   i know, we all wanted it as soon as we saw one was in the new line up in Azatotht listing.  your big yap goodicksa didn't have anything to do with it.  you were so far down on the list of people stating they wanted it(bk2k).  but all was a big tease.   it was sold it seems before the pictures were even posted.   now if a black rose comes up, it would of course go quite quick.  but i think it would even if we were not all just typing about it.  hope now since we are all kind of focused on one, that one of us finds one.  gl on everybodys list.  

Here, tease on those !

Thanks Wayne but I really shouldn't be buying any more pins at this point... unless a big cash windfall comes this way, there's only a couple on my wish list that I would consider purchasing right now.
