As a little tacker doing paper runs, it was EM's. For three or four years I would seek games out on my route to play.. ..
A few years later in late high school/early tertiary, a group of us would head down the local pinny joint for the arvo - still a few EM's around, but we were attracted to the new "flashy" SS games, and that year for many reasons stuck with me more than the years of EM's..
Quite a few years later I bought my first game - my favorite SS from that golden year. Around the same time I stumbled across an AFM at a local theatre and started loving that game.
So the collection grew with a mixture of circa 1980 (the golden year) games, and later DMDs starting with AFM.
And I so do want an EM to complete things for me.. ..
So, I love all eras. If that makes me a pinball sl*t, well call me bimbo!!
Nino, would it be easy to add an age bracket in the poll as I would like to see what the coalation is between preffered pins and the age of the person voting.
I think that plays a large bearing on people's tastes. Nuggy loves the mid 80's SS which were the rage in his arcade days, whereas theey don't do so much for me, and my early SS games are a little "old" for him.
