either real or emulated ?

I'm actually liking Charlies Angels at the moment. Weird I know
My fave of all time is Addams Family pinball. I'v played a real machine
back in the day but am playing it a lot under Visual Pinmame

Just looking for ideas for my arcade because I'm not a Pinball freak (but I am a fan )

Right after college I became the Beverage Manager of a Hilton Hotel. There was a pub next door which had Funhouse. Oh man, every break we could get, we'd sneak over and play a couple games. What a wacky but fun pinball game. I'd love to find it again.

[YarsRevengeFan]

My favs are The Doctor Who and the Star Trek: The Next Generation pinball games.

I love the mix of LCD on the screen and the pinball aspect.

[Fellow Atari Man]

Black Knight 2000. It had a second raised playfield that was pretty cool.

Pinbot's good. Bride of Pinbot bored me, though.

Indiana Jones!

[goatdan]

My favorite of all time is definitely Space Shuttle.

Other great ones are Jurassic Park, Lord of the Rings, Medieval Madness, Simpsons: Pinball Party and about 250 or so more that I adore...

And that is only SS. There are a ton of EM machines that I think are awesome too.

By far my favorite pinball is Tales of the Arabian Nights! There is so much to do & it's really fun!! Here is a pic of it:

OK That's enough, I could go on & on because I AM a pinball freak!!

I love all the old style wooden pinball machines. They are a lot of fun to play.

Of the modern pinball games, my favorites are:

1. Addams Family--I once played this one for half the day on one play.
2. Twilight Zone
3. Tales from the Crypt
4. Nip It
5. Creature from the Black Lagoon
6. Doctor Who
7. Baby Pacman (More of a hybrid system than a true pinball machine)
8. Six Sticks

[SS]

Put in another vote for Doctor Who. Not only is it based on my fave Sci-Fi series of all time but it's a damned fun game as well!

[sigma]

In no particular oder, Twilight Zone, Demolition Man, Doctor Who, and Dirty Harry.

[SteelerFan]

KISS was my fav and I would absolutely love to have one, but those things in great shape are EXPENSIVE

[madblownaway]

Addams Family...in college me and my friend had one that was so warped we knew tricks and secrets.

[Tempest]

My favs are:

Theater of Magic
Mideval Madness
Star Gate
Star Wars (Data East version)

Tempest

[tyranthraxus]

I had a lot of fun playing a Star Trek pinball in the mid 90s. It was a new
machine based on the 60s show. As you played Scotty's voice would
yell for "more power captain!" and "warp speed!". Eventually you'd get
enough power to 'beam them up' LOL and the whole machine would
start flashing and the team would get transported. The voices kept
me laughing all the time and I kept plunking quarters just to get them
to beam up

At the last SuperAuction I went to there was one that was listed as "complete". Complete, in it's case, meant all the parts were there in the cardboard box next to the unit. What you would call the table was little more than a wooden box with KISS faces painted on the side, and next to it were one (or maybe two) large cardboard boxes full of "stuff".

THAT one went for $700. That's the day I gave up on getting one of those.

[Big Player]

I like the Harley-Davidson machine. It's been a while since I played it though.

Funny that's it's my favorite since my friends in college all rode Honda Interceptors.

You bastards hijacked my topic.

I loved Addams Family and I just loved the humor, the goals, the layout, the challenge, everything. It was the pinball game I played alll the time whne I was in law school. The two Star Treks were great. I also like the sound in the Fire Power game back in the mid eighties.

Haunted House:

Someone already mentioned it, but Black Knight 2000 has to be my #1. It was very innovative for its time. Sadly for me, I have not been able to find one to play for over ten years now. But I guess the emulator will do.

Close second -- well I spent hours on Earthshaker back in the day. I gues that has to be second place.

Emulation stars: Jack*Bot and Road Show. Never got to play either actual machine, but I scored almost 21 billion points on Jack*Bot in emulation, and Road Show is just plain fun.

And for those of you who haven't gotten PinMAME and VisualPinball, do it. It's addicting to play all those old tables.

Pinball games were never my favorite thing to play at arcades. I was never any good at them and instead found myself drawn to the coin-op games.

But anyway, the one pinball game that stood out in my mind was GORGAR (sp?). The voices were the main draw, and the board was laid out in a decent manner as well.

Speaking of FUNHOUSE:

Local bar finally got a pinball game after about two years of me going through withdrawls... and they got FUNHOUSE.

I played it for the first time yesterday and plugged about $10 into it! I love that game (is it emulated anywhere??? And where are the good Pinball Emulation sites?)

[EricDeLee]

BTW... I will be talking to the vendor next week and will possibly purchase FUNHOUSE!

[EricDeLee]

Wow.... that LOTR table looks great!
