Another New Guy
« on: June 17, 2009, 09:08:04 PM »
 $!&

Hi everyone.  New to this forum.  I am developing a bit of a taste for pinball having been mostly into arcade stuff.  Have come across this forum and it looks like I can learn a lot.

Own a few arcade machines, and am on the lookout for a first pin.  So far I think I like the look of White Water, Shadow, Indiana Jones, Fish Tales.  Am trying to have a go on vpinmame just to give them a bit of a go.  Budget may be about $2-3k and am open to suggestion.

Hope to stick around and learn a bit and maybe one day give some decent feedback myself.

Cheers,

Pete

Thanks guys.  My wife got a new car, so I get to finish my game setup.  At least 1 pin.  By all accounts, 1 is never enough *)*

Pete
Welcome to Aussie Pinball,
Out of the machines that you said either Whitewater or Fishtales are both excellent first game titles and you will have hours of fun with any one of them. Then its get a second pin time because you can't just have one pinball machine. @@*
You will soon realise this once you have got your first pin, and then it starts, once you have been bitten by the pinball bug, you will always have room for one more pin.
Good luck on tracking your first one down and if you need any pointers just ask away on here and you will always get some good advice from the guys on this forum.
Darren.
