[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 93128, member: 134"] Holy ****e! I just got back from my league night this month. You would not believe the setting. I've got pics, I'll post 'em when I have more time, suffice it to say, I thought I was walking into the Venetian in Vegas, not some dude's house! Like I said, I'll let the pics do the talking later. For now, I've got to give you the run down on the machines we had available to us in his home arcade. [B]ROW 1[/B] (left to right) Krull The Shadow [B]Scared Stiff Lochness Monster (the last Game Plan machine) Varkon (pinball in an upright cabinet via mirrors. what a trip!) Safe Cracker (whitewood prototype) Revenge From Mars Tron LE [/B] [B]MIDDLE ROW[/B] [B] World Cup Soccer Whirlwind[/B] Johnny Mnemonic [B]The Getaway Radical (prototype)[/B] Phantom of the Opera [B]Attack From Mars[/B] Twilight Zone [B]BACK ROW[/B] [B]Kingpin[/B] (you kiddin' me? there's only like 8 in existence!) Funhouse Golden Cue [B]Earthshaker Medieval Madness Judge Dredd[/B] Cactus Canyon Monster Bash [B]RANDOM LOCATIONS[/B] [B]Joust Indy 500 Wizard Blocks (whitewood, prototype Pin2000) Playboy (whitewood, prototype Pin2000)[/B] I put in bold all the tables I got a chance to play. I know that more of the machines were prototype versions than what I listed, but I only knew for sure the ones I marked. I commented to the host how immaculate all his machines were, and he laughed and said it's not quite true. Uh, okay? Anyways, he said a lot of these were HUO machines owned by the designers. I have to wonder how many Pin2000 Wizard Blocks and Playboys are even out in the wild, other than these. Both were VERY far from complete in programming, especially Playboy, but I got a better idea of where Williams was planning on going with Pin2000. If you're wondering why I didn't get to play the other machines, well it goes like this...once the tourney starts, they turn off any machine that is not a part of it.

Yeah, dude bought the house next door to his original house and then spent 8 years turning it into this! As for the tables I played for tourney, they were... Earthshaker (scored horribly on it) Indy 500 (never played before and took 1st in my grouping of 4) Kingpin (same as above) World Cup Soccer (took 2nd in grouping, almost 1st) Radical (took 2nd.
