Re: FS: Classic Stern Flight 2000

Cait001, can you tell me what the new ROMS for the F2K pin change if anything? I was curious when you said adventurous. F2K is a fun game to play already!

Re: MAACA.ORG website anniversary! 18 years, and counting

I also want to say thank you to Sparky and Azatotht! Because of your passion for this hobby, the site grew to what it is today. I remember getting many of my pins via MAACA members in the early days, reading about their advice, some good, some questionable but overall the collectors here wanted to h...

Star Trek TNG XingoTHX Edition

I don't post as much as I used to but this one caught my eye and I had to share... This has to be the nicest Star Trek TNG that I have ever seen. The website gives a complete breakdown of all of the enhancements and somewhere in there is a video - impressive! http://xinarcade.fr/viewtopic.php?f=10&a...

Benny Hill for sure but if I could add a theme I would like to see The Princess Bride or Airplane.

Re: Your Pinball Status 2019

Well I hope to finally get my "holy grail pin" called Cosmic Gunfight in 2019. I have played it many times and came close 2x to buying one only to have it sold even though I said yes. I learned that no deal is complete until the cash is in hand and the pin is in the vehicle! But that is wh...

Batman 66

Ok so while I was at the Playdium Store I had the chance to try out the next pin that I was very curious about - Batman 66 ! There are so many colours on this pin and I think that Stern hit the nail on the head for nostalgia and reliving those moments as a kid watching Batman on TV. It is fast and f...

Dialed In is a great pin to play

Today I had the wonderful opportunity to try out the new "Dialed In" pin from Jersey Jack that was set up only a few hours earlier at the Playdium Store and I have to say that my first impression is that this is a great fun game! This is a regular sized pin not a wide body like the other J...

Re: allentown Pinfest or Michigan pinball show

I enjoyed both events but I found MPE to be just as much fun for a shorter car ride. At Allentown there were better deals to buy pins and more machines. If I want a deal, I go to Allentown. If I just want to play lots of pinball and save time commuting, then it is MPE.

Re: Favourite pin & Favourite beer

Favourite winter beer is "Chimay Premiere" a strong Belgium ale. In the summer a nice cold "Shock Top" hits the spot.

How do I choose a favourite pin when I like so many? I will therefore narrow it down to my missing holy grail pin - Cosmic Gunfight!
