Looks like it's in nice shape. I finally found a "shopped and working" EM on Craigslist for $300 but it was listed in a post that said all games are untested, these have been in storage for years, for his "blowout" prices he can't bother to turn them on and see if they work. Since I don't know how to work on EMs yet I passed for now One day I'll join the cool kid EM club.

Did you end up picking anything up? It sounds like you're looking for a combination of original theme and gameplay (Even though you're crazy to dismiss High Speed for theme or Paragon for being a widebody). I agree BOP's billion point shot makes it a crappy game, I'm not even too mad that it's a single-shot game. Centaur is probably the best combination of original "non-boring" theme, amazing art, and gameplay out of the ones you've listed. Pin-Bot is pretty cool but I always think it's hard to recommend since Jack-Bot is an entirely better game IMO.

I have a room full of machines but I don't have a sign that lists the rules yet so I'm not sure it qualifies as a man cave.

I've got a Terminator 2, The Getaway, Black Knight 2000, and Breakshot in my lineup right now. Picked up the Breakshot because of John's video on it actually. T2 is my only pin I don't like, but I've got to keep it because guests love it and I've put too much time and money into it to give it up at this point.

Hey all, I'm just here to lurk and discuss pinball since the Arcade Outsiders sure aren't going to. I have limited space and it's hard to justify a video game taking up room over a pinball for me, but perhaps I'll be able to squeeze in a minty DK, OutRun, or Robotron one of these days. The prices of super nice arcades sure are awesome compared to pinball Right now my only machine is a Pump it Up NX2, but you guys keep me wanting to get back into the vids if I can find room. My game room has a T2, HS2, BK2K, and Breakshot right now.

I've owned a bunch of 90s games from my youth but they don't have much staying power, so I'm more interested in the 80s games. Just consider me one of those young guys that's driving up prices and ruining the hobby for everyone.
