Going To Pick Up My First Pinball Machine Tomorrow...

I have always wanted a cool pinball machine for the house, but never followed through with it. Well tomorrow is the day. I found a great deal on a 2005 Stern Nascar machine. After doing a little research, it looks like stern is the only company that is still in business. After a trip to the local dealer, I quickly learned that I do not want to buy a new one. I have a modest game room upstairs, and this should make for a nice addition to it. I'll post some pics tomorrow if everything goes well.

 

This is an example of what the machine looks like...

The next thing will be to find a good Pacman/Galaga game :)

 

Is anyone else into this sort of thing?

I have a Simpsons Party pinball game that I bought new a little over a year ago. It's pretty cool. I also have a gaming cocktail table I bought with lots of the old classic arcade games. Stuff like donkey kong, ms pacman, pacman, super pacman, junior pacman, frogger, burger time, galaga, dig dug, and a bunch of others. I also have an arcade legends 2 stand up game that has even more aracade classics on it. Kung Fu, ghost and goblins, street fighter, centiped, astroids, and so on.

 

Here's some general game room pictures, I didnt take any specifically of the games themselves. Sorry for the smallish pictures.

Damn, I didnt mean to hijack Gary's thread. Thanks everyone for the compliments. It's a great rec room, especially for having people over. My best games are pool and air hockey, I am decent at ping pong, avg at bowling, and suck at golf.

 

Donnie, your game room looks just like a real arcade! awesome...
