My original experience with this game was back in the early 90's when I was backpacking through the U.K. I stopped at a local hostel near London for one night. When I got to my room I started talking to this other backpacker and we both decided to go pub-hoping that evening. At the very first stop I had a couple pints of Guinness and noticed in a crowded darken corner was a Doctor Who pin. I never knew such a thing existed! While my traveling companion flirted with the ladies I was drawn by the beautiful glow of the backglass. The poor pin was all alone with no one playing. So with Guinness in hand I strode up and eyed the flashing playfield. Examining every detail before I dropped in my first coin. It was an amazing first experience. I played that pin a half a dozen times before we moved on.
Fast forward to four years ago I decided that I had to have one for my cade. The usually problems arose with either the asking price was too much (like 3K), location, or just didn't have the cash on hand. A month ago I located a seller in Houston who was selling at a price I could afford and wasn't too far from me. So over the Memorial Day weekend I made the 4 hour trek to pick up my first ever pin. The seller was a really friendly guy and had over nineteen pins in his house. I spent the first hour playing Twilight Zone, Star Trek: TNG, Pirates, and Simpson's…
Now that I have this pin I've been playing it non-stop. Even my kids have stopped playing the vids and now line up to play Doctor Who. I think I'm going to have to buy anther in the not to distant future! I can fit two more before I run out of space…
