About 10 years ago I qualified to enter a state pinball tournament.
Of 16 qualifying entrants(or who could be bothered to enter), I placed 6th.
So I see it as, I was the 6th best pinball player in a state of 3million people, for a year. :-)
Woot woot! Congrats on that achievement, fellow pinball person! I scrolled this thread just to see if anyone mentioned ye olde silverball and I am not disappointed!
Own any pins? Top 3 favorite games?
One of the tables at this tournament was Walking Dead too!, unforgiving table angle.
I own no pins at home, except toy size Batman battery operated(Funrise with the ramps)
My top table is Banzai Run (2 games in 1 ;-), can 7x replay
I like Attack from Mars(and just a little less Revenge from Mars).
The original Indy:Pinball Adventure is an all time favourite and one of the first I played(as long as the flippers have enough kick to score jackpots and reach the Path of Adventure).
If I got a table, it would be Judge Dredd.
Grew up only playing 80s/90s video arcade machines. Appreciated pinball later, especially the analog aspect and finding out about basic moves like lane-transfers.
My nonpro-tip: Read the info-card for the word multiball! (c:
Good stuff! I enjoy Banzai Run as well, my buddy and I always get a few rounds on that one at our local pinball haunt. That vertical playfield is super cool!
Never got to clock much time on Indy or Dredd, love AFM though. That's a game i would consider for my collection someday--that one or Medieval Madness, both are just awesome games. I collect mostly late-70's/early 80's solid state games, though i have a particular soft spot for the classic Bally's and Sterns from that era...
I like that era too.
Aztec(1976) came up recently, and I was very much considering getting it, due to the in-depth detail in these Technology Connections videos. Not sure if the gameplay is any good though.
Medieval is fun, launching cows and all.
The original ST:TNG was great also.
