Well, It is supposed to be Spring, So I kicked my Wife's car back out to the Driveway , and started redoing the Garage! I put a Floor in it this time, I hate the look of Dirty Concrete, and was setting up some games. I got rid of all the Rush the Rocks, Much fun as they are, I am a Pinball Guy and they took the space of 4 Pins!
Anyway, I seem to be setting up and had a few already up, a bunch of System 11 games, Dr. Dude, Riverboat Gambler, BK2K, Transporter the Rescue, Taxi, Diner, Whirlwind, EATPM, Banzai Run, and I wondered who liked what and why? Are there any System 11's that rival WPC, or are better on their own merit? I think most are a bit less advanced (obviously) but I still like them.
Dave (Pics when I get it done I hope)
P.S. I want to change my Vote for Heaviest game! Banzai Run Weighs a Ton and so far I have avoided setting it up, but it is in there waiting... I have moved it around a couple of times, avoiding the lifting part!
Here are games I would like to acquire this year, or sometime...
24 Iron Man Attack From Mars Prefer Pounded playfield! Monster Bash Prefer Pounded Playfield! Elvis Sopranos Batman Forever Spider-Man Stern Prefer Pounded Playfield!
Have these available for trade or possible sale: Corvette South Park Theatre of Magic Twilight Zone RFM/SW:EP1 Nucore Combo AFM

Life is like Pinball!! You never know where you will bounce or where your going but sometimes you have that one amazing shot But on the other hand you have those darn gutter ball where you just get frustrated.

WHAT??? No Whirlwind? Best Sys. 11 hands down. I love all the Lawlor Sys. 11s: Whirlwind, Earthshaker, and Banzai Run (OH YEAH!).
These are the ones I really enjoying playing -- meaning I will go out of my way to play a game if I see one:
# Grand Lizard # F-14 Tomcat # Fire! # Space Station # Banzai Run # Swords of Fury # Taxi # Jokerz! # Earthshaker # Transporter the Rescue # Mousin' Around! # Whirlwind # Diner # Radical! # Riverboat Gambler
I might need to play Dr. Dude some more to be fair to it -- haven't played it alot.

System 11 rules. Keepers in my posession = Bk2K, High Speed and Cyclone. I should have bought a BR when I had a chance (sorry Dan), it was fun and unique. I sold a cool Road Kings, I'd like a Dr. Dude, Pinbot, Big Guns and Space Station, the others I haven't played .... yet.
And is a BR > STTNG in weight? I swore I would never move my STTNG again. But then again... never say never.
The Flyer shows ST:TNG as 20 Pounds heavier, But I think Banzai with the 2 Playfields in the smaller cabinet feels heavier, Maybe I will go set it up!!
