I can't remember exactly which one was first but I reckon it was either Gorgar,Kiss,Playboy,Flash Gordon,Centaur,Six Million Dollar Man or Evel Knievel. We used to feed some coins into those, usually at Orbit 1 in Newcastle ( owned by the Hankin Brothers I believe ) or at the Top Takeaway on the highway at Belmont.
Those were the days.
Funny I can never remember playing an 'em' when I was a kid, but now I own three & love 'em!
I used to put heaps of coins into the new Space Invaders as well.
Lookin' back I don't know why ,when I could of been playing Pinball instead.

I am not 100% sure, but when I got to uni I used to hang out in the pinball room and play lots after observing lots first. As I didn't have stacks of cash to spend, it was an incentive to get good enough to win credits! As far as I can remember, the first one I played at uni was Eight Ball Deluxe - an absolute classic. There were others, and if I saw them again I might remember them, but the one that stood out and stuck in my mind was EBD.

Can't remember - I must be too old!  It would have been a Gottlieb EM at a fish and chip shop, but at around 40 years ago I cannot picture it at all  #$#

The first pinball machine I remember playing was "Stellar Wars" when I was 5 or 6 years old - my next door neighbour had it in his garage and he invited me in to play a few games on it. The machine was gone from the garage not long afterwards, and I have never seen or played one since. I would love to play it again and relive that experience

I have narrowed it down to Sky Lab or Space Mission

Was the only pinball machine in Mastertron (small town New Zealand) in Basil Fish n Chip shop

Well for me as a kid about 25yrs ago staying around the peninsula in Vic, there was a heap of the old mini-golf places which were choc-o-block full of pinnies and arcade games.  I still remember hearing the pole position beep's as I walked past.

The first pin at the caravan park.....I can remember playing a Fandango, FJ Holden (which I think was brand new), Superman (wide body), Flash and HyperBall which blew me away back then!

I used to sweep the games room floor each and every morning to get a $2.00 worth of 20's to play.

Ahh, back in the days when 20c would buy you 5 balls!

Playboy - I was about 13 -14 at the time and it was out the back of a fish & chip shop that a friend's parents owned in the shed, they really didn't treat it nice either at the time .
