Picked up a really nice Taxi pin locally yesterday. Great seller - Ivan Lysykanycz - runs the annual Pinball Wizard's convention in Allentown.


Great addition. Simple in concept, but hard to master. Love this game! This one is a keeper!

My one and only pin, and I love it. Like you said simple rules but hard as hell. I have the Lola version as well (its the one I played as a kid). Awesome game and all the "non-gamer" type flock to it when they are over.

Nice score my man.
 
Very nice!! One of my favorites. I saw one at last weeks auction and wanted to bid but the seller took the balls out of it. I can't figure out why people think they can sell things if the buyer doesn't know if it works.
 
I'm in the TAXI club too. The most played and addictive pin in my five pin collection. It's a Lola, too. Marilyn really isn't that rare, in case people ever try to tell you that. Williams switched it up about halfway through the run.
 
Nice pick up. That's probably the table I play the most on the Xbox 360 Williams Pinball Collection.

Thanks. I think it will be a hit :) I caught alot of flack after Pac Man leaving. Maybe people will like this. Eh, screw them. I get what I like!

Looks awesome! You have a great line up I'm jealous!


Thanks. Some of these are not mine, but I am storing for another member. The Airborne, Arabian Nights and Moon Patrol are his.

Yeah, I don't get that either. Do you knwo what it sold for? I might have overpaid for mine, but it's nicer than most I have seen.

Easily the game that is played the most in my arcade...and that one is damn nice
 
LOVE TAXI. My high score on it is 14,000,000 or so. The thing I like about it is, for the most part, every ball is it's own mini-game. You always have a chance to score big!

Good Lord. My HS is 3,xxx,xxx. Nice work!
 
I played Taxi at York last Saturday for the first time. The only freaking customer I could pick up was Gorby!

That machine was hammered to shit. You couldn't even make the ramp shots without inlane momentum.

I feel lucky that I snagged my Taxi... I was actually looking for a Space Shuttle, but couldn't find an even half-nice one. I picked up the Taxi instead and love it. I remembered liking it from the arcade days, but forgot how good it actually was.

Considering the jackpot max's out at 4,000,000 and resets to 500,000 that's an accomplishment. You must have been jamming the Skyway combos to light the Million shot over and over again! Wow. The airport/multiball task is the only other really high scoring combo at 300,000. I am impressed.
 
I have a Marilyn playfield Taxi, and I love it. But my playfield desperately needs a touchup.

It's all about hitting the jackpot twice in the same game and hitting the 100k skillshot after getting extra balls. Typically a jackpot on the first or second ball isn't as high but if you're on your fifth ball and you've been increasing the jackpot the whole time you can really get the jackpot up there. Plus, hitting the 100,000k skillshot is a big help when its at a 5x or 6x multiplier. That second jackpot will really inflate your score though.
