Pinballs

I do love play pinballs.

Everytime I meet one (most of the time now during my vacation), I try to play and learn it.

So you will find below the list of pinballs I remember to have played with (must have forgotten some). If possible I will try to show my best scores (please don’t laugh:)).

My pinballs list:

Addams Family, The (Bally)

Location : 5ième RCS – Baden-Baden, Germany

Period : From 97/08 to 98/06

My all time preferred pinball : I’ve spent a lot of money on it during my military service. I remember I’ve once nearly reached to light the full house (miss only one window). I’ve also discovered on the idp that a special collector edition exists

Back to the Future (Data East)

Location : An arcade place which was located close to the hotel « L’Escale », Place de la République, Grau d’Agde, France

Period : Childhood/Teenage summer vacation

Love the « Hill Valley Weather Report » 🙂

Haunted House (Gottlieb)

Location : An arcade place which was located inside the Mall « Auchan V2 », Villeneuve d’Ascq, France

Period : End 70s, Beginning 80s

I was very impressed by the little pinball under the glass.

In that place there were also arcade cabinet like « Pac-Man » or « Killer Shark » with its stroboscopic effects

Indiana Jones: The Pinball Adventure (Williams)

Location : 5ième RCS – Baden-Baden, Germany

Period : From 97/08 to 98/06

Not a lot of memories. I remember played with it during my military service.

Machine, The : Bride of Pin·bot (Williams)

Location : Café « Le Diderot » – Lille (in front of my former Lycée)

Period : before my baccalauréat (mid-90s)

I’ve loved the humor :The Machine : « I can speak », The Computer « Oh! No! » :). Love also the rotating faces.

Medieval Madness (Williams)

Location : CITY BOWLING D’OZ

Period : 2015-10-18 –

Seems to be a good pinball. Too many light reflects on the glass make the play more difficult. Need to play again to make a more accurate opinion.

Monster Bash (Williams)

Location : Camping « Le Bois Joly », Saint-Jean-de-Monts, France

Period : Summer vacation 2013

Good memories of that pinball. I remember it was full to try to complete (never succeeded). Recommended+.

Red & Ted’s Road Show (Williams)

Location : Buffalo Grill EMERAINVILLE

Period : from : As far I remember : since 2015 – to : –

I’m used to play with it in a restaurant close to my home. Very tricky. Moreover the one I play with have broken parts (TED’s mouth doesn’t open anymore and the little flipper on the lower left doesn’t work too). His broken parts and difficulty make him not really fun to play with, unless you gain skills. Just recommended.

Sharkey’s Shootout (Stern)

LocationCAMPING CLUB LE LITTORAL – 5*

Period : Vacation Summer 2015

I did love to play that pinball. Very easy to learn. You can earn very quickly a lot (millions) of point. I used to have free credit everyday by doing high score. Recommended++

Terminator 2: Judgment Day (Williams)

Location : 5ième RCS – Baden-Baden, Germany

Period : From 97/08 to 98/06

Not a lot of memories. I remember played with it during my military service.

Wipe Out  (Gottlieb)

Location : Buffalo Grill MEAUX (Nanteuil Les Meaux)

Preiod: Friday, May the 27th

Pinball not in a good shape but OK. I didn’t manage to understand how to use the right upper lane. Lot of multiballs. I’ve earned easily free parties (2 times).
