[QUOTE="Crawley, post: 151314, member: 2300"] As you can see plenty of games are open. Games like Iron Man and Spider Man constantly have people playing them at other expos and you would have to wait. On Friday I could go over to those at any time and no one would be playing. And it would always shock me to finish a game on one of those newer Sterns and turn around and no one would be there waiting. Ok....I'll play another game! But actually one of the first games I went to play was Algar. This is a rare pinball game, about 350 made, is the bastard sequel to Gorgar.

Its a mish mash of ideas that are thrown together. It doesn't work but I kept playing it all the same. It was just such an odd pin and somewhat addicting trying to get a groove going while playing. I never got in that groove but I can say I had fun playing it.

It's the 4-player version of Big Shot. I of course had to play it a few times but did no where as good as I did in TPA. It's still a fun and challenging game in both real life and in TPA.
