[QUOTE="mmmagnetic, post: 12177, member: 558"] I know this might not seem like a big deal to you people who have frequent access to pinball classics, but I´m really excited right now: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/pB5bg.jpg[/IMG] I´ve been to this vacation park on Texel, north Holland a few times in the past, and they always had this little arcade there, with a couple of arcade games and three pinball machines: Class Of 1812, Barb Wire, and Big Hurt. I wasn´t really into pinball back then, but I´m going to go there again this year. The last time only Big Hurt was at least functional, 1812 was completely turned off, and Barb Wire had plunger problems that didn´t let me actually shoot the ball into play. So I went ahead and wrote them asking if they still have pinball machines around there, and the lady said they had two. Okay, so maybe one of them had to finally retire. I told this to my mother (who went there last year) and she sent me this picture. Needless to say, I´m pretty excited. Indy is supposed to be great, and man, I´d never thought I would get the chance to play an actual Pinball 2000 machine. I´m pretty starved for real pinball action, the only two machines I know of in my vicinity are Dark Knight and Spiderman at my local cinema, but eh... it doesn´t really have the right feeling for me there. Besides, I really dislike the graphical style most modern Stern machines have - even though Spiderman seems to be pretty good. I guess whoever works there on Texel has a pretty good taste - well, I guess I´m going to find out myself soon enough :) So, I guess I´m all set for summer. Riding bikes, overeating on deep fried snacks, and pinball! (Oh, and I´m really happy that at least the Indiana Jones table is relatively likely to come to TPA in the future - when and if it comes out its always going to remind me of this vacation I´m going to have :cool:) [/QUOTE]
