TRON : 46

[Michael J]

Very useful, thank-you. Hopefully Stern will bring out a LOTR vault edition, although I have seen some comments about the license conflicting with JJP and LOTR based on Whitestar vs. SAM (doesn't mean much to me!).

 

[JT.]

LOTR
MET
BMTDK
SM

[jagman]

in no particular order
STLE
SPIDERMAN
LOTR
POTC
TRON

 

[replicas]

I wonder why MO one have voted for Avatar yet ?

 

[JustLikeMe]

In order...

Tron LE
IM
MOPLE
AC/DC Premium
Family Guy

For context, I've owned all of the above other than MOPLE, which my dad owns. Currently have Tron LE and IM - Tron has lasted the longest and I don't see myself selling it anytime soon, and I've only had IM since the VE was delivered, so still in the honeymoon period. While I love Tron LE, I've never enjoyed the pro half as much; it's the lit ramps and the software integration that make it something special, and I still find it totally mesmerising. I've also owned SM and TSPP in the past - loved SM at first but the theme grated on me before long, and TSPP is a good machine but not really my type of game, too stop and go. Incredible rule set though. I've also played LOTR a lot and while I like the game the theme ruins it for me.

Ahh,but BOTH have the special glass in

[windoesnot]

I wonder why MO one have voted for Avatar yet ?

Because its crap?

 

[Nedreud]

Sorry, bit late to the party:

DRACULA
SEAWITCH
FLIGHT 2000
ORBITOR 1 (yes, I really have played one... mental!)
TRON

 

[Nedreud]

I've no idea which TRON it is I like? I don't get all this Pro, Premium, LE nonsense. Whichever version is currently resident at Special When Lit. My only criticism of TRON is not enough exposure of the utterly delicious Quorra

 

[Poibug]

Sorry, bit late to the party:

DRACULA
SEAWITCH

[Sgt GrizZ]

Want to play Seawitch

Recently sold mine. Awesome, fast game. Sorry to see it go but can't keep them all and it's gone to someone building a complete 80s Stern collection

 

[Nedreud]

Nice idea building a collection like that. The guy I bought by Gold Ball from, @andy, is attempting to put together a complete line-up of Bally's from 1981-82. According to his signature he's doing pretty well!

1981-02 Flash Gordon
1981-04 Eight Ball Deluxe
1981-06 Embryon
1981-06 Fireball II
1981-08 Fathom
1981-09 Medusa
1981-10 Centaur
1981-12 Elektra
1982-02 Vector
1982-05 Mr. & Mrs. Pac-Man Pinball
1982-08 Speakeasy 4
1982-08 Spectrum
1982-10 Baby Pac-Man
1982-11 BMX
1982-12 Eight Ball Deluxe Limited Edition

1981 was a awesome year for pinball machines from Bally.

Well the chap that bought Seawitch has all the '81 Ballys and has decided to move on to Sterns of that era. Seawitch will be getting a complete playfield restore - will look stunning when done.

 

[replicas]

Would love to see a collection like that all lined up together.

 

[Nedreud]

Would love to see a collection like that all lined up together.

Me too! I may have set my sights a bit to high with a '79 Paragon to '83 Gold Ball, but my Bally Golden Years line-up would then also include Future Spa, Star Trek, Kiss, Supersonic, Silverball Mania, Space Invaders, Skateball, Xenon and Centaur II

 

[Sgt GrizZ]

Would love to see a collection like that all lined up together.

Well the chap might be moving them to a facility in Copenhagen at some point in the future for people to enjoy.... so you never know [emoji322]

 

[replicas]

Would be a shame if they left our shores, but to go somewhere were they can be appreciated can only be a good thing .

You misunderstood ..... Seawitch gone to Denmark to join the collection

 

[replicas]

My mistake, I feel a little better that they won't be leaving the U.K.

Would be a shame if they left our shores, but to go somewhere were they can be appreciated can only be a good thing .

Tho we at least know of a few recent IMPORTS of olders games
