To play or not to play, that is the question.

Too far, I guess I'll just have to get my own pinball machine, although it won't be as nice as yours.

Nice score. It always better to have two so you can switch back and forth.

Cool game. I like it when the cat jumps on the playfield. I have never played that machine. I am not sure how I like the rotating cars getting in the way. One thing is for sure though, if I ever get a pinball machine it is going to have to have a DMD. I think they add so much to the game play...but I am like that with my pachislos too. It has to have a "feature" or it gets old too fast.

I think the cat attack was funny, mine run when I turn mine on.

These do multiply fast. I went from zero to eight in a few months.

Mario does look interesting, do the cars spin when they are hit by the pin balls?

On middle earth where does the score display go? I can't seem to find where it is (or where it should go)

ahh yes, now I remember machines that had their score there. I did not know until now that they were Atari pinball machines.

I looked at stinger's Middle earth photo's and it looks like the score LED panel is missing.

ok to answer a few questions....yes when you hit the cars on mario they spin and you get points and yes they do get in the way sometimes. the middle earth score display is missing and am working on getting one now. if you know someone with a project or spare let me know. The cat loves pinball also his name is peanut, my daughter calls him milkshake. He sleeps on top of the pinballs, and chases the balls and lights when I play!! I need to get a video of that. I just now scored a Bad Girls Pinball from 1988. Gottlieb, it is sweet. pics to comeImage

Nice, your really grabbing up the pinball machines!
the addiction is strong!
My first pinball was a Gottleib/ Premier. I then bought a Bally, then a WMS, Another Bally, another Gott, another WMS ....
I have seen video's of cars chasing the pinball's I wonder if the cat is deaf?
Mine make to much noise for my cats.
