The 'more obscure titles you have had' thread

[steve brum]

The oddest oddball in UK is probably Dave Langley 's Varkon.

I’m feeling a bit pedestrian.

Had a Godzilla (think it’s now with Matt Adams) plus two ID4s and still have a SST.

Not exactly obscure but I don’t see many cropping up in league matches etc. Guess Sega games were less sort after in the first place.

There again I’ve hardly ever played any of the gottlieb DMD games. Would these also be rated as rare?

 

[steve brum]

Stern iron maiden (1981 !)
Lightning
Wolf man
Skill flight
Viper (81) and dodge viper (sort of rare)
Rock
Space riders

Pic of my 1952 Coronation. Clever, fun game as well. 4 different ways to win.

 

[Matt Adams]

Totalt

Sold it on here to Matt Adams I think.

Totally forgot that came from you, here it is at mine

Had a Godzilla (think it’s now with Matt Adams)

I do still have it John, love it, not deep but a great game for having a bash on every now and again. Rudi has painted Mr Zilla (the greatest model ever placed in a pinball machine) and I have just replaced all those red stand-ups for the proper Sega ones. Peter Blakemore must have had it at some time as the pictures on the IPDB are of this machine and credited to him!



Other Pins I have had over the years which you don't see to often...














As well as some that were loaned to me, thanks guys xxx

Also loving Catacomb.
Fastest pre 1990 game I have ever played.

 

[Horsey]

Some truly beautiful works of art on some machines.

I suppose if you have had over 300 @Matt Adams then a few obscure games will find their way to you.
That Godzilla head looks amazing

 

[Horsey]

That Nova Bell Cobra looks an interesting machine.
Quite the unusual ramp on it. How does it play?
Looks quite featured for an older game

 

[MajesticPinball]

Most obscure for me would probably be my Pinball Magic or Zacc Queens Castle. I always thought 4 Queens was quite a rare machine but seen quite a few pop up for sale the last couple of years

I once had an Adams family the man i bought it off on eBay had advertised it as “ very rare “ so that’s my contribution

 

[Sven Normansson]

Big Fair
Joker Poker em
3x sample earthshakers
Embryon
Fireball 2
Mustang (fairly rare over here)

It plays well, has multiball and plays a version of the human league's 'don't you want me baby'. It's at Flip Out so is available for anyone to enjoy!

I love the shape of this one. Funny how there has t been more experimentation with the shape of machines.

 

[JMP]

Also loving Catacomb.
Fastest pre 1990 game I have ever played.

You got that still? Very nice indeed.

 

[Pick Holder]

Very ashamed to say I once owned a Popeye saves the earth for 3 hours......

 

[Replay]

You got that still? Very nice indeed.

Yup.
It's a cracking game, and so much strategy as you have to hit the drops as they move around the colours.
Bagatelle also has a ton of strategy and a bit of skill as skill will make the D shot but you do need luck hitting A,B or C.
