[QUOTE="HotHamBoy, post: 267513, member: 4638"] My most memorable pinball experiences: 1) A few years ago I played a janky Pirates of the Caribbean at a bar in Bloomington, IN while friends drank since I wasn't into drinking anymore. They had that and a Ms. Pac Man and I loved the latter but never really had been into pinball nor given it much attention. Ended up playing that Pirates all night and it opened my eyes to the whole pinball thing 2) Not long after I went to a crappy little amusement park called Indiana Beach with the girl friend at the time and we discovered a bunch of old pins and I was immediately drawn to them and fascinated by them 3) not too long after that I went to Headquarters in Chicago for the first time and while all my friends wanted to play arcade games I was a kid in a candy store with the huge selection of great pins on free play. By this time I was fully into TPA and I was like "oh, there's this game! And that game!!" 4) first trip to Game Galaxy in Nashville, TN. I'd never been to a place with so many games, some 75 pins at the time. Spent a whole day there and it blew my mind. 5) my first big tournament in 2016, an all-day affair with 48 players. Just an awesome Saturday geeking out Monopoly was one of the first games I had easy, regular access to since Indy was a desert at the time. I'd play for hours at a time. The first time I scored a Jackpot was so rewarding, it took quite a long time for me to do it. Still one of the hardest Jackpots in DMD pinball, IMO. Difficult shot to find with just one ball let alone multiple. I mean, it's basically the same set up as Addams but with only one Jackpot and it's a really tight shot. [/QUOTE]
