Do you?

My favourite is the classic Addam's Family pinball adventure that used to be at my local arcade until they removed the arcade entirely

I used to think I was good at Pinball as a kid, and had that reputation amongst me and my brother.  I haven't played pinball in a long time now, though.

There were so many good machines.  I think I remember Terminator 2 being good, and X-Files, and... hmm.  I'm stretching my brain and I can't remember the specifics.  But I'd love to have a pinball machine in my living room.  Mario Jump Blue

One of my friends loves Dr. Who pinball because they had it at his college in the 1990s.  He played it every day and estimates that he probably spent at least a couple hundred bucks on the machine.

Have you guys tried Visual Pinball?  It simulates real pinball tables in 3D software.

Download the "Visual Install Pack" here:
http://irpinball.ztnet.com/files.htm

Then get some tables from the links near the top of that page.

Pinball is mad good.
I haven't played one in ages though.

Did anyone ever play the Tommy rock opera one. kind of an interesting theme. THat one used to be at the state college across the street from my parents house when i was younger. They had a small arcade. My friend blew sooooo much money on Gaultlet Legends, which actually was a really fun game.

One at the pizza place near where i used to go to school had Bass fishing themed pinball. never played it though...
