"Eight Ball" had that soft EM chime sound, simple play but still challenging, great colors on the table & back glass, and a left lane that Linda Lovelace would be proud of! This game helped me quit smoking. Pulled into a Zippy Mart, had enough money to play "Eight Ball" or get a pack of cigarettes. Pinball won.To go back even further, "Lawman" or the four player "Sherriff" and "Drop-A-Card". I swore at the that someone had put the wrong flippers on DAC. Just little stubby things that created a SDTM alley wide enough to drive a car thru. All three of these tables have one thing in common: drop targets! Both "Lawman" and "Sherriff" had a bank of targets on the left, and dropping all of them lit the Special light! On the right was a full length Pachinko-style lane that added bonus points when the ball rolled thru a lit lane.There are a lot of new style machine with rails and magnets and Gazillion point skill shots. And if you like those games, that's all that matters. I'll play those as well, but every once in a while, during a summer night, a breeze blows lightly past. I swear I can here the bowling alley pins bang together and smell what the snackbar is cookin'...and if I listen real close, I can hear the scoring wheels turn, and POW! Someone just won a free game...</blockquote>
