My first was a  Flight 2000 that I bought in an arcade in '85. I kept it for more that 10 years, not knowing that it could be repaired, that parts were still available. When I moved I let the machine there, but it was in a very bad shape. I regret it very much. If I knew that there was a group like this at the time, I would have kept it and have it refurbished...

the first I had was pinbot ... (gone twice) ... the first I wanted was funhouse... and it's still there

My first pins was  F-14 Tomcat  I bought it in  1998  from a clasified ad in local new paper,I always have it.




Jacques

First one in was first one out..  No regrets..  (1977 Hot Tip).

My first game was a 78' Bally Playboy, still have it, and I still love it. I learned alot with that machine.

I'll add the first DMD I got was a TZ. Still have it after 10 years and it will never leave.  

Duane

First Game Demolition Man
Still got it and no plans to sell

My first was a KISS in 1996 and it'll be the last to leave.  

My first game was Funhouse, drove all the way to Ottawa to get it.  Still have it, and it's in the que to be fully restored.

Problem is, I just can't stop buying more games.....

I still have my first and second and third and.....

My first game was a WCS94 bought retail for my son and it all went downhill from there     I fell in love with pinballs and starting getting them for both of us and now I just get them for me . My son still claims ownership of the WCS tho which will never leave both because it is his and also because I could have bought 2 of them for what I paid . Lesson learned but no regrets as it started me in this great hobby and all the new friends that I've met.

I bought two pins at the same time from a local operator. Both Gottlieb, a 1970 Baseball and a 1979 Pinball Pool. I still have both. The Baseball I still play a lot, a simple game that only lasts a couple of minutes. The Pinball Pool I played a lot when I first got it but it has some problems now I hope to get around to repairing.

My first game was Gorgar - pure nostalgia; it's gone now and I kind of miss it...  Had to make room for DMD's.  My first DMD was JM and it too is gone.
If I had the room (which I don't), EBD and Royal Flush would be in my collection from a nostalgia point of view.
