Love them too. There's something about the chimes and bells kind of takes you back. Was never into the shooting games but love the sounds of an old em pinball.

Stunt Pilot was one of my all time favorites. Loved that little ambulance.......

I think a lot of people just don't have the opportunity to get these EM games anymore. EM pinballs are another story - they seem readily available. However, I can't think of anytime in the last 2 years an EM arcade game like haunted house showed up on craigslist.

I like EM pinball, but never grew up playing other EM stuff. I only fell into the pinball aspect of it in a trade last year, so I'm no expert.

Hey Rick that U-BOAT in the pic you uploaded recently looks to be in really nice condition. Is that yours? That looks like the nicest one that I've ever seen. Here's the pic for those that didn't see it yet.

I saw one sell on eBay last year. I forget what it went for but it wasn't nearly as nice.

Yep it's mine and it was NIB . I've also got a Blue Max in need of a lot of TLC.

I love the EM games but they take up a lot of space. I've had a chance at a few but have always passed on them. There is a local OP with a stash in his warehouse and in the bunch is a Sega Combat. I've been thinking about that one. IF I ever get organized enough and can secure my garage from the elements, perhaps I'll join the club. Nice games BTW.

Awesome Rick, no wonder it looks so nice! That Blue Max looks interesting too. Good luck with restoring that.

Wow, that is a nice U-Boat, I'm sure any collector would love to have a machine like that!
