[QUOTE="The loafer, post: 247572, member: 1434"] You guys are pups! ;) I gotta go with more details :) - First I ever played was probably when I was 10, so back in 1974 at the Ottawa Exhibition in their EX traveling arcade (probably a Gottlieb). Too young to remember the game and I was more into the pitch/bat EM's at that time - First I ever played that really peaked my interest: Royal Flush at the old Aylmer Hotel in Aylmer Quebec - 1977? - First that started getting me hooked (IE: skipped school to go play it ;) : Eight Ball (with the Fonz on the backglass), played it at "La Cantine", an old snack place for kids in Gatineau, Quebec. 1978? - First that hit me like a ton of bricks: Williams' Flash at the Mall Arcade near the Canadian Tire in Aylmer Quebec 1979. Oh boy, that one led to another, and another, etc, but if I have to pick one, I get Flash is the reason why I got so much into pinball. The rest is history that is still being written... Pinball is amazing, so many memories that I still vividly recall. I wish I'd documented via pics the arcades back in the day, would love to recreate them virtually so we can really reminisce.
