Pinball machines are still a personal opinion about which brand you prefer.
Every brand of pinball machines has his advantages and disadvantages from Williams to Gottlieb and from Capcom to Sega and a lot more!
I'm a fan of Stern Pinball Inc's machines for different reasons, they're young flippers mostly in a good condition, every part can easily be ordered by the distributor and the most important of all is that I love to play them!
What also adds is that I'm a fan of the type of artwork they use like with Lord of the Rings, if it's done well I like it more than the 'cartoon' style you see back on older pinballs. On the older machine you see Indiana Jones as a comic book figure rather than as a movie hero, but that remains a personal preferation ofcourse.
The fun part about flippers is to have a few you don't see very often in other Gamerooms.
For the moment I have the following stern machines in my collection:
- The Simpsons Pinball Party
- Rollercoaster Tycoon
- Terminator 3
- The Lord of the Rings
- Ripley's Believe it or not
- The Sopranos
- Pirates of the Caribbean
- Family Guy
- Black Spider-Man
- Indiana Jones
- Batman
And I also have some Gottlieb machines which you rarely see in Belgian Gamerooms:
- Freddy: A nightmare on Elm Street(signed by nobody else than Freddy himself, Robert Englund)
- Stargate
I also have one Sega pinball in the collection which I would like to accompanie with a Batman Forever and/or Independence Day.
- Apollo 13
- Judge Dredd
- Indiana Jones
The last pinball machine must be the Alvin G& Co which is something special.
- Pistol Poker
