Well I finally did it...
Here is the story... I went to a klov get together (@ crabtown, Glen Burnie MD) and brought my wife. She is not a gamer... but she really likes pinball. We played all the pins there and had a real good time. There were a couple she really enjoyed... Cyclone, FishTales (for the cute factor) and The Big Hurt. We really spent a great deal of playtime on The Big Hurt, its a good theme (baseball) and although its probably not the most popular game we thought it was really quite fun.
So we kind of left the place psyched about pinball... For me I'm really not set on any one in particular... I've wanted to get a machine to get the ball rolling so to speak... (no pun intended of course). I do have my favs... White Water, Addams Family and Pinbot, and of course they are not the cheapest.
So for the heck of it... I posted a WTB for The Big Hurt. A fellow klover had one for sale and gave me a real good price. This game has everything for me in a first pin, lots of lights, DMD and a good overall game play and the most important... the wife buy-in! I had to sell a few things... namely my Asteroids upright, for which I was a little sad but not really for all that long.
