Post by: Strangeways on April 24, 2012, 06:59:04 PM: 1982-12 Defender Williams

Purely for the fact it would be worth a small fortune today.

Spirit or Rocky would be great choices.

Post by: ddstoys on April 25, 2012, 12:03:43 AM: I was 15 in 1997 so that would leave me with circus voltaire or medievil madness but my old dragon wouldnt lend me $150 for a mint empire strikes back when i was 15 %.%

Post by: Prince on April 25, 2012, 12:37:51 AM: 1990-11 Funhouse for me.
I've never played this tittle before, but ain't all Pat Lawlor games the same! Lol.
Title: Re: my 15 th birthday present
Post by: 63wizz on April 25, 2012, 12:17:05 PM: I was 15 in 1978, so many great games to choose from, but Bally Strikes and Spares would have been nice.
Title: Re: my 15 th birthday present
Post by: ajlaird on April 25, 2012, 03:06:26 PM: Hmm, snap!

Defender does sound good, but Pinball Champ '82 is perhaps a more fitting title... :)

Post by: Crashramp on April 26, 2012, 10:46:02 PM: 1987 was my 15th year and I'd like to say that I'd have gone with Pin Bot. But 15 year old me may well have gone with Hard body !@)
