I really liked the EM machines in the front row, primarily Majorette and Grand Slam. I could have played them for a couple more hours. I played Cross Town a little, based on fond memories. There was too many people waiting to play Hotline. F-14 Tomcat must've come out at the same time as the Top Gun movie, or shortly thereafter.

It was a little strange seeing some of the smaller pinball companies machines. And I was hoping to see some other EM machines - Dodge Town, Sing Along, Jolly Roger, Pot O' Gold...Fireball would have guaranteed a Sunday return, even though I have other plans.

Just got home from the Show, it was fun. I think we spent the most time playing Burgertime. I forgot how fun that game was. Worst game was Spiderman, it was completely unfun. Unfortunately my pinball skills are rusty, so I wasn't comfortable challenging anyone for their buttons, but oh well. Maybe I'll practice up for next year.

You don't need a fancy suit to play pinball!

This was so much fun.  I'm pretty sure I haven't played that many video games/pinball in one day in 20 years or so.  I would do this every weekend if it was available.

You all better come to my next party, it will be similar, although on a smaller scale. I'm bummed I missed the show, especially since I did most of the promotion for it and had games there. But I'm sitting at the Mirage pool right now and it's mid-90s and wall to wall bikinis and beer, so it's been an OK in Vegas :)

Maybe if you change it from July 3rd.  Although we may be able to bus it there after Green Day, but I might knock over the pinball machines by that point.
