I have 2 non-VX purchases on the way.....

When I was growing up I always loved the arcade, and hence I loved video-games, but now that I have a few extra bucks I thought I would get what I have always wanted, a real pinball machine :-) This is on its way as we speak:

And the guy I am buying it from is totally shopping it our for me, and installing all new LED's and he is sending a full empty cabinet so I can work on my next upcoming project:

All the parts to make a full size Virtual Pinball cabinet are purchased and on their way as well! It will look something like this with unlimited real pinball tables selectable:

congrats...very cool. i love that terminator pinball....i want one!

i have 3 arcades myself. a stand-up lady, galaga & a ms. pac-man cocktail table.

Sweet :-) I think I will stay with the PS3 for 3d gaming, but having the capability to have m.a.m.e. running every video game ever made on it through HyperSpin is tempting.

Man, I've got a top-five list of machines that I want... Congrats on beating me to it! I don't suppose you're getting it from Colorado Pinball are you?

I want these ones, in no particular order:
Theater of Magic
Twilight Zone
Mars Attacks
Addams Family
World Cup Soccer

But first I either have to give up a bedroom or get a bigger house!

My ALL time favorite:

FUNHOUSE!!

I almost bought one myself. Sometimes I will still look them up to see how much they are still going for. But funhouse has a LOT going on in the game, lots of little ramps/gadgets and with the FunHouse guy it really is cool!!

That is a great top 5! Funhouse is amazing as well. I like any table with lots to do, especially upper/lower playfield and 3 or more flippers. I obviously would rather have one of the tables you guys listed but after looking around most of those tables were $5k and up to $9k. Popeye is an entertaining table with lots to do and I got it shopped out with LED's and delivered with an extra empty cabinet all under $2k from Elevation Games in Dallas. Great deal I think :-)
