Good to see that your kids are enjoying playing your Flash Freiherr
there might be hope for the younger generation yet!!
I like the simplicity of the older EM and SS games, and the artwork is much more appealing to me on a lot of them too. With the exception of a handful of DMD games i never really got into DMDs/alphanumeric games much.. its almost like you need a university degree to understand what you have to do
I know DMD games are a lot more popular with a lot of people, just about every game i have been asked to repair in the last few years has been a DMD or late 80s onwards Alphanumeric display game. I reckon they can be a pain in the arse to work on sometimes, especially if i have to do them in someones home.
I really have taken a liking in particular to Bride of Pinbot, i used to play it on location when it first came out and never really understood the rules @ that time. But having repaired/restored three of them in the last two years, having had two of those come thru my workshop gave me the opportunity to understand the ruleset a lot better, so it is a title that has grown on me somewhat
Having said that though, the older games will always be favourites of mine to own, play and work on
Re Flash, I just bought my old one back from AP member 'howzat' (he needed the $$ for his virtual pin project i'm working on for him). So Flash is back in the resto queue to get the full treatment.. cab repaint, PF restore, some fairly extensive BG work etc. I already have brand new plastics to go on it, and will be buying the correct legs for it (it currently has rusted ribbed Wms legs). It may end up being put up for sale again when done.. whether it does or not will depend largely on my financial situation @ that time, and/or other games i might want
