Well, witht he help of EagleTG, I moved the Bride of Pinbot from my basement, and delivered it to may father-in-law. I cleaned her up all nice for him.

Was sad to see it go actually, but he seems to like it alot, so I will still get to play it every week :)


This made the 4th game I have bought for him. He now has what I think is a nice lineup.

Pinbot
WCS94
Johnny Mnemonic
Bride of Pinbot

He wanted 4 machines total so everyone had one to play (he, I, brother-in-law, and nephew) :)

Forgot my camera, but took some crappy I-Phone photos:

That is cool you have a "free storage" place. :)

Forgive my ignorance as these titles are a bit before my time, but it seems to be fairly common for collectors to have/want Pinbot and BOP at the same time. Do they play very similar to one another? If they play too similarly, I would think that might wear a bit thin over time.

I find they are quite different. they play differently, and the shots are different. What I would NOT want, is to have Pinbot and Jackbot at the same time, as they have essentially the same playfield layout. As it is, Pinbot and Bride of Pinbot have quite different layouts, at least in my opinion.

There are similarities, but they are different enough to both be fun in the same lineup.

Bride seems to be a much faster machine.

I can understand the question though :) Unfortunately, thy are not my machines, so it's not really a free storage" per se. He purchased all the machines, my job was finding and making them presentable for him :)

That should at least earn you free plays for life, right?

I sure hope so :)

We go there every week so I do get to play the machines. I would only get him games I would enjoy (we have the same tastes in gameplay, we both like fast machines) so he trusts my judgement when picking machines for him. I tried T2, but he did not like the artwork on that one. Shame, as it's a great playing machine, but he'd need to look at it, so ultimately it was his choice :)

Bonus is that if and when he tires of them, I'm first in line :)
