Nice Collection you have there Dave. It was a pleasure to see them last Sunday. Definitely the highlight was the "Pinball Magic" - what a superb machine. Hopefully you will have the "Diamond Lady" working next time I visit.

Bought a battery holder but havent yet installed it nino..................I hope it is that easy...............I thought that System 80b would work whithout the battery and it was only installed for score back-up? I'll let you know when I get around to installing it.
Pinball Magic is a great game, I think better than TOM.

Thanks Marco, interested in doing a straight swap? ;D I think that your collection will sway me away from 90's pins................might be better if I stay away.

One game that I DID enjoy was Striker Extreme. It is now on my "underrated" list. That was fun to play... It has always had a "bad" name with pinheads, but I really got into it at Dave's.

I don't mind the old Striker Extreme as well. I think some of the older "new" Sterns have copped a bad rap by so called experts, simply because Bally/Williams was the flavour of the day.

I agree Tony, besides wh2o, it is the most played pin by visitors. The object of the game is obivious----to score goals. The moving goalie with magnet, the defender drop targets and the commentary/sound add to the excitement of this game.

im curious as to your thoughts on the police force... its an oddity to say the least for me because its not what i playfield wise would go for, but have a lot of fun kicking its ass, which i find difficult...the pressure on that take highest is unbelieveable, my brother screwed me really hard once for top score!!! ive been offered money anyone would take considering what i paid for it (cheap), im wondering if its because of the enjoyment VS dollar investment that i cant bring myself to see it go...
 anyway whats it for you?

regards
oh my mistake.. you are wrong !

... and another thing - I REALLY enjoyed Funhouse and I keep thinking about it. Now I know what all the fuss it about.

There's something about Funhouse VS Addams Family... Similar games...anyway, similar for me. :D

Hi nuggy, I took a gamble and bought police force without playing it and love it. Take the highest score is the most intense shot in a pinball. Also like the top cop shot and the collect bonus. Wouldnt sell mine either.
