[QUOTE="EldarOfSuburbia, post: 214487, member: 4106"] I started playing pinball a lot when I started Uni in '92. There was a Hurricane in the bar I was in the most, that got played at lot. TPA-wise we also got BSD and TZ. Another bar usually had 2 tables on the go, of the TPA tables there was an STTNG that got horribly abused, there was also an HS2 (coming soon?). (I also played a lot of Point Blank there, it was also the bar with Street Fighter 2, which I very rarely played but was very popular.) Then there were 2 or 3 in the main union building, that got TAF (I was not really a fan back then...), and Fish Tales (ball buster). Finally there was the student night club, I was never sober when I went there, and that had Red&Ted, so I don't think I ever played it sober. Oh and I was living in Brighton, so there were arcades. The pier had CftBL and later Elvira but they really had difficulty keeping their tables in shape. Then I lived in France for a year, an arcade with over a dozen tables became a haunt, but pretty much all licensed tables not in TPA. They had a Cue Ball Wizard though, didn't like it much. (I had "ownership" of Corvette, and pretty well established residence of Demolition Man.) Back home, in Torbay, more arcades, and the one I went to most had White Water and Whirlwind. WH2O got the most attention. Then I moved to London after Uni, and one of the pubs near where I worked had a TotAN which I played most lunchtimes, and usually left a bunch of credits in it. The arcade at the Trocadero in Piccadilly Circus had AFM, I also remember briefly playing No Good Gofers and Monster Bash there. Others I've picked up here and there across the years, most recently at a couple of shows - particularly the System 11 pins, which I missed out on. [/QUOTE]
