I know this isn't directly a video game topic, but video games and pinball always seem to be linked to each other for obvious enough reasons.  So does anyone else here own a pinball machine or two?  Have any pinball favorites?  Or, just love pinball video games?

My dad owns this Evel Knievel pinball machine:

I love pinball tables.
I am probably not nearly as good as i like to think i am though.

I liked the Mars Attacks pinball machine and the South Park and Simpsons ones among many many others.

I've got this one:

it's in my dad's basement. I got it for free too. a lady I used to work with just wanted it out of here garage.

That's a pretty cool table, and an even better price.  I dunno which version yours is, but they have more info and photos at the IPDB:

I used to like this one in the 80's, Cyclone I think it's called. I actually collect mini-pinball machines. I have a Crash Bandicoot one and a Spider Man one.

I've got the Crash Team Racing mini pinball. Last Time I was in Kay-Bee they had a Mario one and a Donkey Kong one. I should have grabbed them but they were like $25 bucks apiece.

Whenever I move I'd like to oneday get a couple more full size pinball machines.

I have the Super Mario Bros. pinball machine

anyway we can get an Arcade and or Pinball section in the listings?

as for arcade machines i have

SNK Neo Geo MVS 4-Slot Model 3
Nintendo Vs. Sit-Down cabinet w/ Vs. Super Mario Bros. and Vs. Golf
Irem Vigilante

tholly that is one of the awesomest things!

I wouldn't mind getting a pinball machine.  I would want a game like Mr & Mrs Pac-Man Pinball or one of the other Pac Man pinball games but they have to big of a footprint.

I agree. For some reason most pinballs are a lot cooler than arcade cabinets. Even though I prefer to play arcade games.

here is my picture gallery from Digital Press

towards the end of the gallery are more pics of the pinball machine, as well as the rest of my arcade cabinets

Used to have one. Sold it. Always on the look out for a slightly more modern one, i.e anything with a secondary game on the top bit.

I have a really, really old Pinball machine by the name of Tropic Queens. We received it in a somewhat state of disrepair, so it sits in my storage room upright, unused. To descibe it, well, its so old that it doesn't have flippers, instead it has bumpers where flippers would be located, and in order to keep the ball from going out of play one would have to bump the machine so that the ball would move its course of direction. Heres a picture of the Island Queen Model:

Anyways I wish it worked, since I secretly love playing Pinball games, and this one is a unique one.  My relatives had (I don't know if they still do) a pinball machine called Pokerino as well, and whenever I was over at their house I would always play it to death.
