I finally watched my DVD of Special When Lit the other night. Anyone else on here watched it? I enjoy seeing documentaries on gaming/arcades/pins. When I see some of those crazy people who have pinball machines in every room of their house I tell myself that I don't have a game problem yet.

I only have one pin and it is currently broken. Atari Middle Earth. It was going cheap at auction so I took it home.

I haven't seen that one yet, but it is on my short list of things to see ASAP. Not sure if you saw it, but Chasing Ghosts: beyond the arcade was a good arcade doc.

Although, I am not a pinball machine owner yet, I would like to get one or two someday. I currently have two stand up arcades (out run and tempest) + all my consoles. This wouldn't be a problem, but I live in a 2 bedroom apartment with my wife!
(actually, change that to 1 bedroom + mini arcade )

Can't fit anything else till we get a house...no, I don't have a game problem either!

Yeah, Chasing Ghosts was good. Also Tilt: The battle to save pinball was a good documentary about the pinball 2000 machines. And of course the King of Kong!
