What pinballs do you own Hank? EM's? Solid States?
I have a Surfer (1976) and a Super Score (1967) - both old Gottlieb electro-magnetic machines.

Have you played the sequel? It was pretty fun...although a bit of a "chick flick" version of Final Fantasy.
To: Republican Wildcat
I have it, but you could only play the three girls and the music just downright sucked! LOL! So I did not even complete it. The "Brother" character also got really annoying.
To: Miss Marple
Heh-heh! I have two Nintendo 64 game sets...I have been waiting FOREVER for them to be back in vogue...Tetris and Dr. Mario kept me sane for YEARS!

FFX is still my all time fave though. :-)
Am waiting for Halo 2, GT4, and Fable.
To: Monkey Face
Ever play Banjo or Zelda? They were great on the 64.
To: FlJoePa
Just curious -- what makes Ms.PacMan better than regular PacMan?
To: luigi; RadioAstronomer
Reading all these responses, I realized that we have the original Nintendo system, and not the 64. I now remember I was angry that they came out with a new system, making ours obsolete.
It was the Zelda games that we played (the main character was Link, I believe).
Anyway, I appreciate pepople jogging my memory about happy times in the early 80's. And I do still have that Nintendo set with all of the games.
To: RadioAstronomer
I wish! I was severely limited by what my grandsons wanted to play...I think there are maybe 50 games they so generously gave me, but I will have to dig to find out exactly what is there....
Gramma liking video games was a pretty cool deal! :-)

To: RadioAstronomer
As of this date, the grandsons are big, ugly boys, ready to graduate from High School...I can only hope they will serve their country well, no matter what they choose to do...as long as they leave the Nintendo to ME!!!
I love them very much; and they would like that I kept my sense of humor...

5 cd's chuck full of MAME ROM's here. p2p is the place to get them.
To: FlJoePa
This is the one I have in the basement - worth getting if you can find it. Mine has updated PROMs with game selection - it has about a dozen Pac-Man variations.

All solid-state, although I'm looking for a '67 Williams Apollo. Had a deal on a pristine one a few years ago that fell through at the very last minute. I'm still mad. ;-)
Have Twilight Zone, Tales of the Arabian Nights, Cirqus Voltaire and Revenge from Mars. Have received enormous education, assistance and leads from rec.games.pinball, which I assume you're aware of.

Masters of Orion Oh heck yeah.
During exam week in college my soph year, I had exempted a couple of exams which allowed me a day off....I spent over 16 hours straight on my roomie's 386 playing that game again and again and again....
