OK, here it is. Home-use only The Simpsons Pinball Party, with less than 500 original plays on the clock. Essentially, it's like brand new out of the box. Bought from the original owner with all supporting documentation and the "goodie bag" still in the cabinet. It's almost flawless, and a very reasonable price.

Awesome. There is so much to do on this machine that I am totally lost.

Great pickup. It was my first machine, and still got it. If you haven't already go print out the rulesheet and sit down and read it.
 
Nice. This will be on my list someday, I love the deep rulesets. Just wish it was a different theme so I will be looking for a LOTR first. :p

We've had ours since 2004 and I still get lost sometimes. Still love it though. Sherry put a few games on it last night and still has all the high scores.

I have wanted one since I played yours.

Patience has proven worthwhile.

Thanks for helping me gain my love of pinball.

I have. It goes on forever !!!

I stopped short of reading the advanced and hidden modes. Much more fun to discover them on your own. Although I did have to go back and read the section on Mystery Spot. That was a trip.

Congrats!
 
I'm sincerely happy for you. That's just awesome when you acquire your grail and it's a great game at that.

I need to buy me one, then owning TSPP and LOTR I'll have two games that I'll never beat ;)

Funny how we started with vids and then went to pins. I wish I took more pictures of all the videos I had. I can't remember half of them.

It just seems to be the natural progression...almost everyone I know who's into pinball started with vids, and barely gives a shit about them anymore.

What's the general KLOV vibe over in the vid section? Are people still really into hunting for, collecting, restoring, playing their vids?

The only one I play a lot is my Rush.
 
It's still quite active, but the prices for even nice video arcade games seems to have dropped a lot.

The death of the easily-available new replacement CRT has not helped matters, as well as the general economic suckitude.

When ChrisR pulled out and sold off his entire collection of meticulously restored and rare arcade games, my jaw hit the floor at Warp 9.2 I can tell you.

I also wanted to add: TSPP is royally kicking my ass. This game is HARD.

If I am even slightly off my concentration, it punishes me harshly.

Amen brother - exactly where I was at 2 years ago. Got my first pin and my vids get NO love anymore. The only reason I keep my handful of vids is because the wife wants diversity in teh gameroom.

Hot titles like Ms Pacman cocks, Tron or Dragons lair and such still bring "decent" money but nothing like they did say 5 years ago. In my area vids are certainly cheaper than when I got into the hobby 7 years ago.
If it weren't for my wife I'd be vidless. ;)
