Just been delivered at 11pm tonight with the courier having been on the road since 4am Another game from Europe but what could it be

 

[Spandangler]

I can't quite tell due to the packaging but I think it's a folded up pinball machine

 

[carl lawrence]

That's easy it's a .....PPG game !

It must be heavy, it's cracked one of your kitchen floor tiles.

I'm hoping it's another classic, Robo Wars maybe ???

 

[Steve C]

I'm sure it will be something different and rare

I told you you could borrow Popeye whenever you want, but you just had to get your own [emoji3]

I think it's something seedy like Playboy hence the blackout packaging!

 

[ronsplooter]

The game is unpacked and it's a Gottlieb Robo-War Been after one of these for a while now since playing @JMP one at a show a few years ago and finally managed to get my hands on a really nice restored one from France No playfield wear above the flippers which is pretty rare for one of these!

[ronsplooter]

Thanks gents, I'm really pleased with it Worth the risk of buying from Europe for sure

Nice one Chris, glad this one worked out. Another one gonna get that gottlieb system 80b crave ! ☺

One of Dr Pinball's great dot matrix clocks arrived to (I'd seen it at Chris B's with Barry). Really like it, shows the time and random pin anims from the dots. Not cheap but I already love it. It's sat atop my IJ until the topper arrives, but it'll go up on the wall with the neons. Ace! And thanks Chris & Barry for assisting.

I can usually tell after a couple of games whether I am going to like a game. I'm going to like this game. A lot.
