    This is gaming related but not a video game, so that is why it landed in this board.

    I would suggest checking this out for all of you near ICHQ. Wish I could make it up there.

    I love old pinball machines. The art, the game, everything about them.

    In fact, one of my greatest worldly desires is to have a machine of my own. I just don't have the right spot for it here and now but one day I'm going to invest in one as the centerpiece of my game room. Probably a nice vintage 70's model. A Buck Rogers machine or something.

    Here's the machine we have... Williams- Pat Hand.. Good condition. I have played the old school machines for many years.
    So much fun playing these. You lose track of time while playing.
    We have played into the wee hrs of the night on many occasion.
    Ours is in better shape than the one here.

    My wife just bought me a Revenge from Mars pinball machine. It is a pin2000 system. Loving it so far. http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?gid=4446

    There are few modern machines that are more playable that Revenge from Mars. One of my favorite modern machines for playability.

    I have three desires for my game room, and one day I will have them....

    #1 A classic pinball machine that just looks good.
    #2 A modern pinball machine that plays great.
    #3 A Namco Class of 1981 stand up machine with Galaga and Ms. Pac Man

    Its a modest list, its all I ask... One day.
