You know, regarding El Dorado, I've played the piss out of Target Alpha (which has the same playfield layout) and for the life of me I can't figure out why that game gets so much love. I adore drop targets, but that massive bank of targets at the top of the playfield just seems so incredibly ridiculous. And the two small flippers are placed in such a way that they're basically completely useless. It just seems like such a dumb design, yet Gottlieb obviously LOVED it because they released the same playfield layout on SEVEN DIFFERENT GAMES!
I've tried to understand, but I just don't get it.

Well, believe it or not the art maybe lame on my segasa casino royale but the game is quite decent. That is why I am making it a custom pin, the casino wheel that is time base in the middle of the playfield is quite fun to deal with plus the rest of the game is also fun. I guess you would have to take my word for it since I don't think many of you had the chance to play with it. Today it is casino royale but in the not so distant future it will be "crazy leprechaum".
Ahh El Dorado, the title evokes pure joy. To play one is to love one. and ditto for the Volley. Of course I am partial since I have those and an Abra Ca Dabra and even a Royal Flush but I have to admit, getting one around $400 would be challenging because if they are in great shape, they should go for more. At that price I would snap em up if they work & if space permits.
So many good pins like Atlantis, Centigrade, Big Hit, Surfer, Pioneer and Big Brave and the list goes on and on.... games some of us cut our teeth on. Nicer pins to work on, easier to repair what more could ya want. By the way did I mention that I like Gottliebs??? One of my mini goals in this hobby is to eventually get about a dozen wedges lined up along a wall. Now I just need to start digging and make a bigger bsmt.

Target Alpha just got a fresh coat of wax tonight and is playing like a dream ! Throwdown tomorow night on Target Alpha everyone (all the London guys that show up that is). In London we don't have a "proper" Pinball league (we should) but we do have last minute get togethers.
Back on topic though.....ahem...I just posted my 1975 Toledo in the classifieds. Great shape and plays very fast. Lotsa fun.

I know You know the little something you feel missing in your life, you can have it back, yes finally you have the chance to finish that Bally Hi-Lo!!! Tu vas pouvoir te coucher avec le sentiment du devoir accompli enfin!
Je sais que c'est pas des players pins ou de collections c'est pour ça que je ne les ai pas mis sur Maaca vu que le monde ici n'auront pas un gros intérêt. Elles vont plus servir pour échanger pour d'autres projets
