Play Spiderman before you buy it. Only cause people want more $$ than I think its worth. A lot have been sited n played to death.
Try and buy a HUO and pay a little extra if u can find one with the original or 2nd HUO owner....play it first I reckon....
Re your question, I played only one game that I own, B4 buying it, and it was when I was 8 yrs of age. I had one game on it only (actually only a few balls that were left on the machine before the big kids came back in)..Phoenix 1978. Never played or even saw another pinny til apx 5 yrs ago. Then I started collecting like crazy.
Then Phoenix was apx game no 35 along the 55 ish list before I even found one to buy off another member). Still have it for a total resto to make it like brand new. It plays fine now, but sentimental reasons will make me make it like new soon. Found a better backglass and another excellent populated playfield for not much money. Will make a real nice one. It was originally a german delivered machine.
Of the other 45 ish plus machines I own, (bought apx 55 and sold apx 10 mostly cause they/some were doubles) I just bought from looking at
Internet Pinball Data Base photos, or youtube videos of people playing them. Looking at original pinball flyers was also fun to help buying.
