Gday from Adelaide..
« on: October 09, 2012, 11:42:34 PM »
Hi all!

Have stumbled upon this fine site after recently rekindling my love affair with the pinball thanks to a local supplier of pinballs and other arcade games opening up his shop for friday night lock ins  $#$

Grew up like most, nagging the olds for some money when waiting at the fish n chip shop or at the footy club after training.

The Simpsons was the 1st machine i really sort of mastered as a 12-13 yo and got hooked on the sound of the replay 'pop'...

didnt get to play much as a high school kid as they started closing the Timezones etc but when the footy club got a Judge Dredd machine in, I loved the fact that i owned every High Score on it... it got to the point where the replay score was so high that no one else could get near it... but that was about 5-6 years ago and had to settle for the odd game here and there until just recently when the lock ins started..

Have been loving the 3 or 4 hours on a Friday night with 10-15 pinballs to choose from.. The Getaway & Theatre of Magic my favourites at the moment.


Hopefully will take the plunge and by 1st machine for home in the next few months....

You'll find this is a great site, with plenty of like-minded people who are more than happy to lend a hand, or an opinion ^^^

I too stumbled upon this site about a year ago, I just wished I'd found found it earlier!!
