Finding my first game was like finding the Holy Grail. I wanted the game we played in 1981 - Time Warp. Searched the net for nearly a year (this was back in like 1999 or 2000, not much activity back then). One day the 11 year old tells me and mum she's seen it somewhere - must be in town.

So we drive around to every single place she can think she's been recently to no avail.

Then she yells with joy when she remembers where she saw it.

Whenever I flick through the channels, and "Home and Away" appears, I briefly look for the machine (if the scene is in the shop). Always amazed me how characters can play the machine while it is off  %.%

%.% %.% %.% thats great. they really are good pinball players when they can play a machine when it's turned off, they're better than me  :lol
Another thing that gets me, is the game will be going DING DING DING DING DING.... DING DING DING DING DING instead of electronic sounds, though i know that that has been mentioned before on here

My grail was my Rollergames with 8 drop targets. Everything since then has been downhill :)
