Title: Hi i think i have the bug to!
Post by: piesrule on October 30, 2008, 11:33:39 PM

Hi all, my story so far is,i bought my first pinball machine about 5 years ago a Stern Big Game one of few sounds it made was jungle drums beating, (thats when i realised i had the pinball bug) then i bought a nice Fish Tales which i have had for 2 years, although i have become a bit sick of it, so now i am looking to buy a new pinnie, i had 4 on my wish list, but have decided on a Theatre Of Magic i think. Cheers Glenn

Welcome aboard $.$  It is a good bug to have.  I played Big Game to death back in the day - it was one of the few games I could reliably get good scores on  ^^^

cheers

Sounds like it is pretty easy to pick up the bug!

Haven't ever seen or played a Big Game - but certainly have heard of Fish Tales.

Hi i think i have the bug to!

My only fear is that they might come up with a vaccine!

G'Day Glen and  %)% to AP..

Big Game is a great Stern machine. Plenty of Green and Targets galore.

What are the other three titles out of the four ?

Theatre of Magic is a great pin to play, but as Nino asked... What were the others you were considering?

As you can see it was a really hard choice, the other 3 were Attack from mars, Scared stiff, or a Twilight, but i have settled on a TOM. Cheers

Tough choice to make, all good games - although only one for is is a great game - my order of preference would be:

1. AFM
2. SS
3. ToM
.....
57. TZ

Not a huge fan, had a nice one and sold it. Too stop/start for me as well as too crowded. Loved the theme but did not enjoy the gameplay. To each his own of course, I can understand why so many love it.
