Thought about my reply for some days now..
KING OF PINBALL MACHINES???
Tough call... but my answer based on tyotal package including artwork etc and what pinball is to me.
BALLY CAPT FANTASTIC... Nothing to scream about in regards to game play, but this machine to me is the whole deal - IT IS PINBALL!!! When i shut my eyes and vision pinball... this is what comes to mind.
GTB KNOCKOUT
http://www.ipdb.org/search.pl?any=knockout&sortby=name&searchtype=quick#1391 OR GTB ROCKET SHIP
http://www.ipdb.org/search.pl?any=rocket+ship&searchtype=quick#1990 - Cant split these 2 - Both CLASSIC woodrails.. KNockout is a very hard to find machine.. has the BEST PF animation ever made.. if you are into woodies then this HAS to be on the list of wants.Oddly enough.. made very early on in 1950
ROCKET SHIP - once again.. this is what pinball is all about.. artwork is just stunning and screams the 1950's... real Dan Dare stuff.. made when GTB really were KINGS of pinball.. a title they rode for another 20 years but in my opinion without real justification... made in 58.. GTB knew their stuff and delivered time and time again in the late 50's. If you only want to own 1 woody then a late 50's GTB would be a great choice.
#3 on the list is THE ADDAMS FAMILY - sums up DMD and is the triumph of this era. Is on my wishlist. Once again.. its everything.. the theme.. the look, crazy arse game to play.. will fit right into my line up.. classic machine that i put a lot of coin into down the pub... this machine owes me!
