Re: Favourite EM's

I have many fond memories of playing EMs in milk bars, barbers and fruit shops and learning all the skills and ways of popping free games.
My 5 favourite EMs that are plastered in my head for life are:

1. North Star - Gottlieb 1964
2. Golden Arrow - Gottlieb 1977
3. Centigrade 37 - Gottlieb 1977
4. Flying Carpet - Gottlieb 1972
5. Jacks Open - Gottlieb 1977

As you can see, I favoured Gottliebs for EMs, and for me 1977 was the pinacle of EM play. This may be biased as I loved the new EMs while I was a teenager and the speed of play was faster in the later years of EMs. I must say that earlier EMs have fantastic art and detail, every machine has it's own character but these 5 keep coming into my head when anyone mentions EMs.

If you don't remember the 70s then you were on drugs.
If you remember playing pinball in the 70s you were having a good time.
