Welcome Gill, lots of helpful people here and good luck finding your first pinball, and don't be afraid to ask questions when tempted to buy your first one here.

Here is a good site to get a feel for the top 100 rated pinballs.

Welcome Gill,

Best of luck with finding that pinball machine. There are a few dealers in Brisbane who will let you play games, and if you ask nicely I am sure there are members up there who will do likewise.

Here is a thread with sited pinballs listed in it: http://aussiepinball.com/index.php?topic=6356.0

http://ipdb.org has a comprehensive listing of pinball machines which may help you as well.

Welcome to the forum and to the wonderful world of pinball ownership (soon!)

So many games from the nineties that might suit you, and budget plays a big role too. T2 is a fun game (rules are not too deep though) and has attracted a bit of a price increase over the last couple of years. If you liked the film it is very appealing.

Best advice is to find a dealer with games on the floor so you can try them out. Second hand dealers though can be like used car salesman though, and they'll tell you that Space Jam is hugely popular and worth $XXX, when in fact it is not popular, but new owners often seem to end up with less desirable titles due to lack of knowledge. Check out some games, and come back here for opinions on the game and pricing.

+1 to that!

Hi and welcome to the forum.

[Strangeways]

  Gill and  to Aussie Pinball ! Nick has the best advise - Have a look around, don't buy the first pin you see and you can't go wrong. There's plenty of great members in QLD that will know where the best place to buy will be ..

enjoy the forum and feel free to ask as many questions as you need to choose your first pin.

Gday mate and 
Good to see another Brisvegas member.
There a few pins in pubs on the southside of town to play, otherwise they are pretty hard to find in the wild up here.
Best of luck with your search for a first pin..Pinball Shed and Gameworx are two dealers that could help you out with your first one.
