I'm another late 70's early 80's guy. One of the most memorable years of my life was 1981 - a fun year for me with the start of tertiary school, a couple of unforgettable girls, and skipping class to play pins at an arcade with two guys (who are still my closest mates to this day, having dinner with one tonight in fact, pretty likely some games will get played while the girls look on with annoyance!:)

It lead me to my first purchase 10 years ago - Time Warp (still have), which was a favorite, and Firepower, another great (but was hard to get a game back then - people lined up to play 'em!!).

Williams seems to be the king, although some of the Gottliebs were great (when working).

I still have a hankering for an EM though. Started playing when doing newspaper rounds in the 70's, and while I don't remember the games at all, I absolutely loved the way they clicked over when resetting for a game - built the anticipation for what my 10 cents was going to get.
