I use to play this pinball at an arcade that i worked at.
Well lets just say once you go in the
billions this machine decides to shut down and die.
It was kind of cool but bad because then we had to have the midway techs come down.
He fixes it i
kill it he fixes it again saying there is no way you can kill it we corrected it.
Well did it again.
He then asked me to do it for him he was amazed
because i got so use to this machine that it was really rare to die.
Anyways i killed it again the midway guy turned arround sent us a brand new jurrasic
park saying they fixed the problem they did but it took allot of work on there part all it cost them was a new machine.

I always thought Funhouse was pretty dope. Can't really think of any
others. Is that GNR game that good? I was a fan of
the band back in the
day and about 3 years ago I was visiting family in my home town and
saw the game in the old arcade I used to haunt at the movie
theatre but
it was out of order! I returned later in the week and it had been replaced
with another game :(

Ethous: Mars attacks doesn't exist...

There's:
- Revenge from
Mars (Pin 2000)
- Attack from Mars (Wms WPC)

My top-3 favorite pinball machines are:

1. Creature from the Black Lagoon (Wait! I already
have that one!)
2. Twilight Zone
3. Flipper Football

Other with a 'notable mention' would be: Judge Dredd, Medieval Madness, Johnny Mnemonic,
The Shadow, Jack*Bot, The Machine (BoP), ST:TNG, and probably RoadShow... There are so many good ones, that it's difficult to choose 'just'
5...

Jurrasic Park and Lethal Weapon3 are relatively 'cheap' pins (1000-1300)
GNR used to be cheap, but a 'sudden popularity' to its theme
increased its price a bit (too much)...personally, I don't think it's "that" good...Data East...ARGH!!!

Yeah, FunHouse is a great game.......complete with the "dummy" Rudy. I used to play this one down on Clifton Hill
in Niagara Falls.

Dr. Who is also an excellent play. This one used to be a regular at the Union Station arcade. Unfortunately it seemed to be down
most of the time. There was an elevating playfield that contained three entrances to the "Daleks" that would often hang up half way........

A few
years ago I attended a Toronto Pinball show in Thornhill. It was really great as they had loads of machines set on free play. The show was associated with a
pinball league in T.O. that can be found at http://www.topl.org/

Cheers,
Technosis.

Hmmm, my top 5 would have to be:

1. Theater
of Magic
2. Apollo 13
3. Medieval Madness
4. ST:TNG
5. Haunted House

Of those, if I only manage to add a Theater of Magic to my
collection, I will be very happy. There are other pins I would want too, but those are my top 5.
