thanks for welcome,

As for the question of if i want to buy a new or older pinball machine?
Im not really that attracted to the new style of pinball machines that are around at the moment,
Ive played a few recently at some arcades or when i ever i happen to see one but they dont really have the same appeal as the older ones.

The new Games i have been playing lately seem to be spoiling my memories of pinball that i had as a teen because the modern art work and sounds aren't really the same as they used to be.
That is the reason why I want an old pinball,
I want to remember what it was like playing these classic games
so it would be something from the 80's i am thinking

I am not sure if I will be able to do 20-30 posts with out just talking senseless crap to get my post count up while I dont own a pinball machine .
To avoid and spare every one of the senseless crap talk Ill probably come back when i get my self a pinball machine, I was told these forums were better places to start looking for a pinball machine rather than buying from ebay.

until then
regards Rich

oh I cant remember specific titles, i didn't really play one title I played what ever I saw.
most of them would have been from 82-90's seeing that was my era as a teenager.

but I definitely didn't play kiss, you wouldn't have seen me or my mates dead near anything kiss related.

Im sorry if I offended the kiss fans,

To get your post count up just search the restoration threads and comment on them or even tell us what you remember about some of the games or parts of the games you remember playing and we can try work out what they were
