Classic Pinball Machines

Can’t find the old thread so starting a new one. With classic Pinball Machines becoming harder and harder to find in real life (found out at lunch today that my local sports bar just replaced their sadly defunct Addams Family with some crappy Fast & Furious driving game) may as well use this thread to reminisce. IIRC Midway and the other Pinball makers have all died so only crappy, smaller machines are being made these days.

Anyway, this one is still my all time favorite:

You just can’t beat the Stallone yell “YYAARRRRGGHHHH” and “Send a maniac to catch a maniac”.

That one is great, have played it. Would love to find this one somewhere in operation:

Molti, you would love my local pub then!

And coincidentally the T2 pinball machine was the best thing the Terminator series ever put out. Period.

Can’t we all just enjoy classic pinball games without taking uncalled for potshots at T2? But yeah, I would like to go to whatever place you know of that has the DIRTY HARRY one.

Like I said in the B-Movie thread. This one owns all:

and I’d love to try this one:

Oops. No potshots intended, rather just pointing out that the T2 machine is pure greatness. It had a gun as trigger for gods sake!
But Ed might be on to some serious competition with the Twilight Zone machine.

Hell yes, I mean let’s go beyond The Adams Family Pinball machine here.

What’s going on in the world? TWISTER can get a pinball machine, so every movie should!

That looks really sweet.

I hope one day my travels lead me to this:

A Twister pinball game? Doesn’t surprise me. There was an ID4 pinball game.

Oh wow, does it play President Whitmore’s speech to get you fired up before you play?

“Freddy: A Nightmare on Elm Street” is easily one of my favorite horror-themed pinball machine designs. There’s just so much going on in it that it’s impossible not to love. On top of it all, Freddy talks shit to you with his usually array of cheesy one-liners while you play. What more could you ask for?

This is officially a must-find for me now.

Wow, and there’s an X-Files pinball machine next to it. Inspired me to look it up. I’d love to be able to play this pinball machine, and of course that Dirty Harry one too.

The ‘image’ on that X-FILES one is really excellent, I’d love a poster of it.

I’m pretty sure it didn’t.

Houston, we have tilt:

It would appear Hanks wasn’t fond of this. His image is replaced by generic astronaut man.

We have a new low:

I know all of you are dying to give this one a shot:

T2 machine was a tough act to follow but I see the gun control returned, and I spy an Arnie head!

I think that’s the only one I’ve actually played. Good fun.

STERN pinball machines are abominations.

This is one of my favorites from when I was a wee lad. This damn thing also gave me nightmares:

This will date me. I used to play this in our college game room all the time. To be fair, it was an old machine even then.
