Peter's thread on Pinball artwork inspired this thread.

This was my favourite pinball Warren when I was an impressionable young lad.

What makes me laugh now is those young girls are probably all grandmothers.

And it was only 20 cents a game.

WOW! I used to love pinball! The reference to Giegers work brings back some memories, too. His Alien artwork was awesome.

I don't have a fave machine, I just like them all. Used to collect bottles as a kid with my younger brother to get the coin to head up to the fish and chip shop to play pinnies.

It's the Dr Who machine!!! Bump off a few daleks and there were balls going everywhere. Don't know how I didn't break the glass when three or four collided.

I have found a free pinball simulator called Future Pinball that allows you to make your own table the programing is in Visual Basic scripting I have found an unfinished Space Invaders pinball table that is mostly done just needs some polishing.

I don't know if anyone remembers but the classic spaceinvaders bomp bomp music that gets faster as you get further in the game well it is missing and I have not been able to script that so if anyone good at Visual Basic scripting can help me I will send the unfinished table for some help.

Go over to vpforums.org there are some scripting gurus over there. I build virtual pinball machines that look like the real deal with 46" led TVA
s for the play field and a 30" monitor for the marquee and another monitor for the DMD display. We fit large solenoids to give the various thumps for tactile feedback, and you end up with a very realistic table that can play almost any pinball ever released. It is a lot of fun, and great to revisit those old tables.

I spent alot of time on this one. I even played it during a ferry crossing of Bass Strait. The roll and pitch of the ship allowed me to get shots I could never normally get

I have fond memories of the Kiss pinball machine at the Nelson Bay Arcade back in the early 80's.

Have you tried the visual pinball version of space invaders?

Tom

I bought one of these =)

I used to love the 'Playboy' one as above, but I think my favourite was 'Firepower'. It was around in 1980-81, and used to speak! It used to say, "Fire Power" in a deep menacing voice.

I actually prefered the video games of the day:
Spaceys of course
Galaxians
Galaga
Stratovox
but my favourite of all was "Pleiades"

Cheers,
Jason.

I recently bought Pinball HD and it is really good. I would love to have real one in my house, but this will have to wait.

Let me know what you think, I'm friends with 'Uncle Willy' who designed that table, and we are always after constructive feedback.
