[QUOTE="Pinballwiz45b, post: 297403, member: 1051"] Ever since RoadShow was revealed to be coming to Pinball Arcade, I couldn't help but notice how many of these machines, TPA included or not, I've actually missed out on ages ago. Circumstances include being too young to play, being outright scared of some of them, or just not for me. Below is a list of games I missed out on in the past: [LIST] [*]Bram Stoker's Dracula (at a Pizza Hut now closed; too young/creepy) [*]Unnamed Pinball 2000 game (same bowling alley where WoZ now resides) [*]Sharkey's Shootout (a few locations) [*]Freddy: Nightmare on Elm Street (too young/scary game) [*]Red and Ted's RoadShow (skating rink where Metallica now resides; 6-7 years ago and would've enjoyed if the tilt wasn't broken) [*]NBA Fastbreak (another bowling alley; I was so young I don't remember even playing it, but it did have a button on the lockbar and that catchy music) [*]Demolition Man (broken down when I went to an arcade room a few times based on the DMD animation the first time I saw it, now gone) [*]Elvis (another arcade, unknown condition) [*]Elvira and the Party Monsters (another skating rink I never went to) [*]RollerCoaster Tycoon (^) [*]Lord of the Rings (bowling alley in Brunswick that tied with a Denny's) [*]Star Trek: The Next Generation (Mini golf/arcade/go-kart hybrid not too far off from here; now long gone) [*]Monster Bash (bowling alley that closed down, now gone) [*]2 unnamed machines at a pizza place somewhere...arrgh, my memory has faded :p [/LIST] There may be others I may have missed, but I excluded some due to not much interest in the theme (South Park and Austin Powers, I'm looking at you). This is why pinball is dead in my area: no one freaking repairs them! I'm so glad we have Pinball Arcade now. If I get to go to ReplayFX this year, I'd at least be somewhat prepared on the machines I've never even played before. Now, onto the machines I've actually played before my time at Kickback Cafe: [LIST] [*]Pirates of the Caribbean [*]The Sopranos [*]High Roller Casino [*]Rescue 911 [*]Corvette [*]Tee'd Off [*]The Simpsons Pinball Party [*]NBA Fastbreak (again, memory...) [*]24 [*]King of Diamonds [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
