Me personal collection are games I used to play when I was young, or games I wanted to play, but could not. The Ballys are all classics - KISS, Paragon, Viking, Fathom, Medusa, Embryon, Xenon, Eight Ball Deluxe and Centaur. Two Sterns - Flight 2000 and Freefall. Three Gottliebs - Spirit, Haunted House and Black Hole. EMs - Spirit of 76, Sky Jump, Fireball, Wizard, Nip-It, 4 Million BC, Captain Fantastic and Mariner.
The Spirit, Haunted House and Black Hole were all next to each other in one of the arcades in the City. If you were lucky, one would be working at any given time. They were on location for years, because opposite them was a Big Guns and Fire. I have located a nice Fire, and possibly a Big Guns. The only DMD is a Cirqus Voltaire. I might buy a Scared Stiff one day, and if Stern remake KISS, I'll buy that.
The above games I've been actively searching for, and I've been lucky enough to pick up. I'd still like a Bally Atlantis, Transporter or Blackwater100.
Outside of my collection, I will buy almost anything. I bit like a person who finds sick animals and nurses them to health. I do the same for pinball. I'll just buy the game and restore it. The journey is worth more than playing the games. I do like playing pinball - but not as much as working on them.
