    Whoa Nellie assembly video

    I believe you can buy the playfield and backglass. Then you would simply need to find a donor game. The layout is based on a specific EM. I cann't recall which one, but I think it would be possible to "build" one yourself if you wanted. I talked w/ Dennis at Expo when the games were first for...

    Thanks for the post. Didn't know these were available. Cheers, Duane

    Johnny Mnemonic hand-periodic data glove error

    1. Strongly suggest you check the gearbox. If it hasn't been done already, the grease is very, very old and very, very dry. I've done that on the last two JMs I owned. 2. At the back, there is a rod and an X and Y nut (if memory serves me correctly). Check both for wear. When either wears, it...

    Star Trek is here

    That would be consistent with ST:TNG. If you hit WARP on ST:TNG, the ball is feed to the right habit trail and the ball is returned to the right flipper. Cheers, Duane

    Star Trek is here

    Me, too. Looks like it goes to the back of the cab. I'm wondering if the ball is taken back there and then pops up where the enterprise is? Maybe the ball shots out that drop hole.... After seeing the pics had to go play my ST:TNG. What a great game. It makes sense to reuse the layout. It's so...

    good first machine

    I have zero experience with it, so I cann't really comment on gameplay. I've heard it's a fun game. At $1,000 bucks or so, it's really a no brainer. Buy it, play it, and sell it if you don't like it. Assuming it is working and in decent shape, you would have no problem selling it later. That's...

    good first machine

    I wouldn't recommend Blackwater 100 as a first game. It's pretty much a novelty game. You start MB each and every ball, so it's fun and works well on a location. I think as your only machine, the gimmick will get a little old. Also, $1,700 is really close to DMD price range and you will get more...

    Star Trek is here

    That looks pretty cool and a nice "borrow" from AFM. Steve likes AFM and discussed it in past interviews -- just look at Spidy. The moving ship will work well in a battle mode. Say what you will about the layout being uninspired, I still think it could be a fun game with the right rules. I'd...

    Star Trek is here

    I've read about Avengers needing tweaking, but have yet to experience that. Jason bought his NIB. I helped set it up and he's done nothing to it. It's played great out of the box. I really enjoy the game and wish I had a spare $5K or so floating around. I think the blue LE one is the one to have...

    TOP THREE PINS on your Wantlist!

    There are only two games that I don't currently own and must get. Until yesterday it was three :-) Just added a Goldeneye and really looking forward to setting it up tonight. The other two: Dirty Harry I've been collecting since 1998 and I never gave this game a chance. The playfield isn't a...

    Congrats. Great first game. Lots of fun and great adult humour.

    Very fun Sys. 11. Challenging MB and awesome artwork. They don't pop up often for sale. Cheers, Duane

    Avatar LE Chrome

    I had access to and played Avatar LE alot when it first came out. I really wanted to like the game. The more I played it, the more I found it "ok". It's not a bad game, but it's not great. When you are talking $4K, you want to make sure you love the game. CSI, for example, is a better game. It's...

    Avatar LE Chrome

    That seems a fair price for a TAF assuming good condition. Hard to know for sure regarding price as prices keep changing. I agree w/ others on Avatar. Best to avoid that title. It's not a bad game, but it's a hard sell. Later on, you might want a different game. As others have said, as long as...

    FS "Not Mine" Pinball Machines For Sale

    Anyone looking at the list and thinking of a first em, grab the Royal Guard. It's a great playing EM and you don't see them very often. Price is reasonable if the game is in decent condition. Cheers, Duane

    Ben Affleck will play Batman in 'Man of Steel' sequel

    WHAT?????? I didn't know that. First Ben is cast as Batman and now this? I need a drink.... LOL! I'm hoping Ben does a good job, but it's hard to see him as a middle aged Batman that is bitter and angry -- basically lost hope in what he fought for. I remind myself that I thought Heath Ledger...

    Ben Affleck will play Batman in 'Man of Steel' sequel

    Really wish they had taken an unknown or someone with not as high a profile as Affleck. He's got the physical presence for the role, just hope he can pull off being Batman. He's a good actor, no question. But, like you said, Bale was great. Best live action Batman so far. After reading the...

    FS "Not Mine" Pinball Machines For Sale

    Public service announcement - that's not an LE. It's a Pro with powder coated white trim. Why oh why white trim? Looks terrible, especially the coin door.

    FS "Not Mine" Pinball Machines For Sale

    I thought it was listed for $4,500. I seem to recall seeing the ad and thinking it wasn't a bad price if someone wanted it. Cheers, Duane
