[QUOTE="mediahistorian, post: 46106, member: 1766"] Fireball! Why? I got my first pinball table, Bally Odds and Evens in 1975, quickly followed by my first pinball book: [B]Pinball Portfolio[/B] by Harry McKeown (1976). Right on the cover... Fireball. Inside was articles on the "classics" of pinball, at that time. Fireball was at the top of the list. Although it was four years old at the time of the book's publication, it was still considered to be [I]"possibly the best flipper machine produced."[/I] Reading the detailed description of Fireball's gameplay made me vow to play it. I searched and searched, but never found one to play. For the past thirty-six years I have visited arcades throughout the Northwest. I've attended the Portland Retro Gaming Expo. I've been to the NW Pinball and Arcade Show in Seattle. I've played a lot of pinball. But I've never played my most sought-after table, Fireball. I consider FarSight as most likely my best shot at ever playing Fireball. FarSight Studios has produced some amazing pinball tables for my iPad. I've bought them all, and play them all. But I still long to play what was at once time considered [I]"the finest ever."[/I] Fireball! John [/QUOTE]
