The Pinball "Bucket List"

In some of my posts about places I visited I talk about pinball machines that I played for the first time. I thought it might be a good idea for a post to look at machines I still haven't played, sort of a "bucket list" of machines to go out and find and play them.

In creating the list, I decided to put in some limiting factors. First, no EM machines because there are way too many that I have never played, and I'm more attracted to solid state machines, the machines of my youth. Second, focus on the big manufacturers...Sega, Stern, Bally, Williams, Gottlieb, Capcom, Data East...no obscure, hard to find manufacturers like Alvin G or Zaccaria. Finally, no games released before 1988...30 years is enough time to accumulate several titles.

So here is the bucket list of games I'd like to play for the first time:

24
Alien
Airborne
America's Most Haunted
Back to the Future
Barb Wire
Batman (Data East)
Batman Forever
Baywatch
Big Bang Bar
Bone Busters
Checkpoint
Corvette
CSI
Dialed In
Dirty Harry
Full Throttle
Gladiators
Godzilla
Heavy Metal Meltdown
High Roller Casino

Independence Day
Lethal Weapon 3

Lost In Space
Maverick
Monday Night Football
Mustang
Operation: Thunder
Phantom of the Opera
Pinball Magic
Police Force
Rescue 911
Riverboat Gambler
Robocop

Secret Service
Sharkey's Shootout
Space Jam
Star Wars (Stern)
Street Fight 2
The Big Lebowski
The Pabst Can Crusher
Time Machine
Truck Stop
Twister
Wipe Out
WWF Royal Rumble

Next step will be to come up with a plan to find and play as many of these as possible...
