[QUOTE="karl, post: 148508, member: 465"] Well, a couple of posts before this post, you yourself talked about ems like Kiss and Playboy. Both of them are SS games, and this shows how easy it is getting late em's and early ss games mixed up. I do not think that most of those requesting older games think only of em machines.(even though em is the term most often used) Most of us are talking about classic machines we find fun from ca 1974 - 1981. I feel there is a distinct difference from ca 1982 when pinball changed and less money got invested in making good machines from 82-84. from 1974 - 1981 all the big companies sold a ton of pinball machines and the market was booming(like you said, Soundwave106) ergo a lot of quality games ;) that a lot of us who never even played them back in the days is still hunting for or want to play today. A nice Eight ball de luxe might go for 3000$ + and Fathom even more than that. A great looking Centaur went for ca 5000$ in the us some time ago (and Fathom is even more sought after) All of that value stuff is maybe not relevant to TPA. (and especially those who never play real pinball machines) I am just trying to say that all that interest in those games can't all be from nostalgic reasons only. 8 ball deluxe will of course not sell as much as most of the newer dmd tables but i believe there is still a big market for them and I'll bet the good ones will sell more than premier tables [/QUOTE]
