brought home two sega's: starship troopers and south park. i know they aren't faves around here, but i like both of them and, more importantly, my kids do! :)

(i have the profanity rom set in south park but have family settings turned on so my kids can play...about the worst it does is burp now. lol)


updated pin row:

the south park i picked up is in decent shape overall...the cabinet is pretty beat up/faded/etc, but the playfield is in excellent condition. kenny and the toilet work perfectly too:

the starship troopers is in very good condition overall...both cab and playfield. working all the way:

i have heard that starship troopers is a fun one, that and stargate but i am not familiar with either. wish i could find dot matrix pins cheap in my area. congrads. keep em clean man, keep em clean
 
Congrats. I like SS even though the one I played was beaten down.
I never noticed before that Sega switched backboxes twice. I know they went from the DE style to the curved but thought they didn't change again until Stern took over. Learn something everyday.
 
Looks awesome! I hope you and your kids really enjoy it.

I would lose the LEDs in the GI and slings on the Star Wars but that's just me :p
 
thanks fellas....having a blast with both of them right now. i will admit though, the starship troopers pin is a little more difficult scoring-wise than i initially thought. i'm getting better at it, but both of the ramp shots are end of flipper shots which i sometimes have trouble with....i'm generally all over the ramp, i just bang off the posts quite often.

oh well....part of the fun of getting a new pin. and every pin is different...just gotta learn this one.

can't lose the LED's dude. i likes 'em. :)


not sure if you've seen one in person or not, but it really does look better than in any pics i could take...the LED's always look way more "powerful" than they are in real life. the ones under the slings especially...they aren't that bright when you're looking at them.
 
Nice acquisitions! I like Starship Troopers a lot. It's definitely one of my favorite Sega pins. Michael Ironside's voice calls can get a bit grating, but it's a fun, underrated game. You gotta love that tri-flipper! :)
