I used to play quite a bit of pinball back in the day. Fav's:

Eight Ball Deluxe
Xenon
Lucky Ace
Black Hole
Haunted House
Pinbot
Spring Break
Star Trek TNG

I see the remaining pinball manufacturer has made Family Guy pinball (see link).

What were you fav's?

Oh, yes!!!!!!!!!

I used to have a SERIOUS pinball thing. 10+ dollars a week.

Any Bally machine, but my favourite was Strikes and Spares.

I am sorry, but video games have never ever done it for me like pinball.

I can't say as I was a fanatic but I always find it hard to pass one by and not play. It's been awhile though, I think the last time was in an airport a couple of years ago.

I can't stand video games, the only one I ever owned was around the time PONG came out, had a six-shooter and some lame moving target on the screen. I was bored within minutes and returned it and haven't played one since..except for my little handheld tetris I liked back in the when late 80's.

Actually that's all a lie,, there are some video games I do like... the slots at the casino LOL

Jim, I was a major pinball fanatic back in the late 70's. My faves were Monte Carlo, Pinbot, Stars and Fireball.

Hey Jim, earlier tonight I stumbled on this website, and need to update my list. I had forgotten how many of the older electromechanical pinball games I had played and loved as a kid. These predate later games that have video displays, electronic scorekeeping etc.

Jumping Jack / Jack In The Box, Dealer's Choice, Old Chicago, El Toro, Far Out, Big Shot, and on and on. So many great photos.

Also Yankee Baseball, which is a different game. You swing a bat instead of activate flippers, and the goal is to launch the ball up two metal ramps into the "seats" for a home run. Great stuff, this one really brought back memories:

Thanks for the interesting link, Jeff. I had forgotten about PIN UP, a fun target-heavy bowling themed machine.
