[QUOTE="Crawley, post: 151699, member: 2300"] So there were a couple of tables that probably wouldn't be allow in TPA due to the backglass. Three of those tables were back-to-back. They were all early 80s pinball tables and were just ok. Although I did love the robotic voice on Lightning which sounds like the one from the old arcade game Bezerk.

Ok, that's actually not the original backglass.

[URL=http://s19.photobucket.com/user/Grugle/media/Vintage%20Flipper%20World/26.jpg.html][IMG]http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b151/Grugle/Vintage%20Flipper%20World/26.jpg[/IMG][/URL] So here's the machine I fell in love with at the show - Solar Fire. It's basically an updated version of Black Knight with a few differences in both the upper-lower level. It still has the magna save, although you can have up to 3 saves charged, and a drain shield that you can activate too which helps keep the game going. The theme looks like a bastardized version of Battlestar Galactica meets Buck Rogers but I was kinda digging it.
