Well done on the first one.  Just curious - what made you decide on Gorgar?  I love the art/theme on this pin, but have never played it.

Thanks everyone. What do you all mean by 'good way to START'? Do you really think i'm going to want more pins in the future?? :lol

Hasn't arrived yet, bit of a delay should get it in a day or so. I'll post pics, i'd like to know what you guys think.

I chose this machine cause it's from my youth, wasn't many pins in my area, and after searching through IPDB and looking at machines i've played when i was young, i still like the playfield layout, and the art needs no mention, it's Gorgar right? I remember when i first saw and played this machine it looked and sounded very modern compared to anything else i'd seen, kind of ahead of it's time. Overall lots of choices for a first pin, where do you start?? I just bit the bullet. There are a lot of SS pins on IPDB that i've never played but like the look of.

I got a case of beer to drink while i'm waiting for Gorgar to arrive, and I'm only listening to late 70's Rock'n'Roll albums from my music collection (Tom Petty, Graham Parker, The Cars etc, etc.......Maybe even break out the old Kiss records  @@*), cause for the next few days, I'm living in 1979 #*#.

No mate hasn't arrived yet. Been delayed to early next week. I explain some other time it's been a bloody long wait. I'll post some pics when it arrives.
