redrum Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Same here! Maybe pinball will make a comeback, that would be cool!! One time at the bowling alley I kept a game going for at least 20 minutes. The ball just stayed in play and my friends couldn't believe it. I think I racked up 15 free games.

redrum Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 ^^Now that you mentioned it, I gave the YT vid you posted another look and I noticed that too! Also for a moment, my eyes played the meanest trick on me, by actually getting me to believe that the dude was wearing only a hat and tie! It is a bit easy to miss the fact that the man has a trench coat on! I honestly thought "Hmmm...gangster or cabaret dancer?" I wish they would have used a gangster like this guy: Or even this guy: With the whole Al Capone vibe! Bugs and Edward G. Wonder who comes out on top in that one?

Maaike Roeleveld Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Lol! I also used to have one of these when I was just a little girl. OK, the graphics and all that of modern video games may be better, but back then I surely enjoyed the old video games like Super Mario Bros, Castlevania and The legend of Zelda.

redrum Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Now that's a night to remember! You were definitely the pinball wizard!! I don't have any cool stories like that but I do remember thinking I was pretty good at it...haha! It never happened before or after. I just love those flippers. I used to collect these. I had most issues from #2 and up in the late 50's and early 60's. Wish I still had them along with my 60's Avalon and Fillmore/Winterland/Fillmore West/Great Hiway and Straight Theater posters.

luvlz2 Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 (edited) I used to play with this all the time. If I remember correctly I used to be pretty good at setting up different bigger and neater track layouts with different hot wheels tracks using the superchargers.

craigled Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Star wars, Ghostbusters, Turtles, He-Man, Thundercats. Led Zep, Transvision Vamp, Duran Duran, Wham, Bananarama. Nice cold,ice cold milk. Ribena in a carton. Spira choc bars. Massive curly wurly bars. Smash Hits and Look-in magazines. Typical football sponsors- NEC. Crown Paints, JVC, Sharp. Everton were in the so called big 4 then. I would go back in a heartbeat if i could. Well apart from my kids. Much happier times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi_Zep_Fan87 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 With the rise of shitty mp3 players and iphones or whatever, I'm guessing that items like these, are becoming obsolete?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
