Pinball Machines

[The Blowhard]

Screw PS2 and that other video game stuff..Pinball is still King!
The old machines were great. The bells, the 5 balls for 25 cents and the tilting.
Best Arcade: Daytona Beach Florida, Boardwalk, circa 1975. Hundreds of machines! Pinball Paradise!
Worst Arcade: Times Square, circa 1970. Great games, but pimps, teen runaways, hookers, kid touchers and thugs.

Sounds like a twisted dream that would flash through Pootertoot's mind on a warm spring night.

yeah, this was the place where we would get our fake id's... you couldn't walk into the place without being asked if you wanted to buy about 10 different kind of drugs, by the people who lined the storefronts...

Loved Pinball, never played the video games...

getting a MATCH was one of the best parts...

Does anyone remember Black Knight? I think it was one of the first multi-level machines. It's certainly one of my all time favorites.

Mark Cohen - he was walking in Memphis, that son of a bitch.

a deli near me used to have an original star trek pinball machine from the 60's that i mastered, i also love the rescue 911 pinball machine at an arcade near me, can it be true that william shatner projects make good pinball machines? my only regret in the world of pinball is not going on hte show ot try and win the machine, i think i could have held my own

Wanna fight?

I always preferred the old wooden 1950's and 60's models. I loved the bells and whistles, the great illustrations and the old scoreboards, that were not digititized.

I remember playing PinBot at the bowling alley arcade (that robot voice was cool) while skipping third period on my way to my easy and fun 3 hour vo-tech class in TV communications. Having a car was so cool my junior and senior years...sorry for the tangent...
