New pin day x2
« on: February 23, 2011, 06:10:17 PM »
2 pinballs were recently added to our family collection, my twin boys recieved them for their 3rd birthdays from my mother-in-law, I've taught her well  *)* , not quite full sized but fun all the same.

The Buzz Lightyear pin is quite average, what you would expect from a kids game, but....

I really rate the ELC (Early Learning Centre) pinball, it is quite cool it has 5 different bumpers that score 1-5 points depending on which one you hit, it has 2 rollover lanes that score 10 points, rewarding a soft plunge (skill shot) if you can get the ball down either side, the drop target looking targets are worth 15 points each, this is the shot you need to practice up between the bumpers hitting the square targets quickly advance your score.
Six flippers top the game off, add a 5 ball counter which in itself is quite cool, when you pull back the plunger one arm pulls the ball across the counter arm, these arms are seperate, so, if a ball is not there when the ball arm pulls across the counter arm is not advanced, impressive for a kids toy.

Have spent plenty of time with the kids on this one, gotta say it beats playing Judge Dread any day  %@#

Here is a link which allows for some close ups:
