8 Ball Deluxe: The staple of any arcade circa 1980. "Stop talkin' and start chalkin'."

That was a good one!

It's weird to see a Joust pinball game, too. I only remember it as a video game around my college years. Slick.

Holy Shit--Pinbot!

I was always more of a "Cyclone" and "Taxi" ma, myself. And some carnival-themed one whose name escapes me.

Thanks for the memories...

wasn't that called carnival? and sampled in the mr bungle song "carnival?" the line "riiiide the ferris wheel!"

neh?

OK, what about Funhouse? I can't remember if that one is that old or not. 80's? At least early 90's. It was a great one.

I almost beat a sound guy at it once... almost...

just found out "Cyclone" is the one that bungle sampled.

definitely one of the hottest pinball machines ever. i used to rock the hell out of it when it was around.

i also really like 'medievel madness'. it's not 80's, but it's a super fun machine. i used to spend every lunch playing a few rounds.

it's great to find bars that still have pinball. golden tee sucks. long live multiball!

funhouse rules

i like pinbot a lot as well

I love pinball very much and it's a pre-requisite for me when choosing a bar to go to. I used to go to a bar just to smoke and play pinball all night. I was shattered to find Double Door without a pinball machine, that place seems perfect for one. But yeah, pinball is great for those of us who go to bars alone -- can't play darts, can't play pool, but you can play pinball and Thin Lizzy on the jukebox.
