Pinball- Your D.O.B Year ?

[Caveoftreasures]

I was thinking it might be a good idea to do a search of what pinball machines were made the year you were born ?

Has anyone ever done that before for interest or sentimental value ?

Pick a machine that was made the year you were born and perhaps share with others which one u think would most likely suit you !

1968

Bally Rockmakers
Bally Alligator
Bally Dogies
Bally Gator
Williams Hayburners II

I've had opportunities to buy the Bally machines, but they were the German versions.

Interestingly enough, RALLY Comics was produced in 1968 

I'd love to own a Bally Rockmakers.

I spent 30 minutes looking at IPDB for 1970. Bloody hell they made alot of machines in 1970. (all very 60's themed, i was a bit diss-apointed).

But the best one I could come up with that I liked for the year I was born was "Mondial Bank" based on the backglass. Everything else was hippy dancing or poker related or ten pill bowling. Snrrrrrrr !

I liked the backglass on this one, so I chose it !   (Look closely whats under the skirt on the girl in the green dress at the very front - lol, very cheeky for 1970)

It would be good to see what photos/links others can put up !

Thanks Cot, saves me wasting my time....for 1970....oh and I'd have been sceptical if it wasn't for the Bell Boy's eyes.....

Well I had a few to choose from buy my top 3 would be

Fathom
Medusa
Blackhole

And that's 1981 for those who didn't know when those games were made

I bought EB's 1973 King Pin, my year and love the pin. Im not sure if there is any better for 1973 but im pretty happy with this one :)

Hard to fault Klondike and Lawman for 1971.  I'd own them both regardless of the year :)

Hmm, tough one as I don't know much about EMs.

But if I had to pick three from 1967 I would choose:

Beat Time (Williams)
Rocket III (Bally)
Shagri La (Williams)
