hi all just joined this forum and thought id say hello. im Andy Foster live in Southport (merseyside) 30 years old. i have around 40 or so machines a mix of pinball and fruits mostly from the late 80s and through the 90s. played pinball machines all my life and still a big fan, playing in lots of local and national competitions. played fruit machines since my teenage years and still enjoy a game in the arcades every now and then today. most of my favourite fruits come from the late 80s/early 90s and alot were 2p/£2 pcp games, of which i now have a number of such as fruit cracker, test pilot, blue streak etc.

Hi to the three new members from the last month. There a plenty of people who like a dose of nostalgia and would go dewy eyed over the likes of Test Pilot etc my favourite pinball table was Dr Who where the multiball involved shooting various enemies.

Welcome all newbies. Keefy I think a Scorpion 4 manual (tech people correct me if Im wrong) will put you on the right tracks for 'The Streak'. That's if it's the one with three tracks on the top front glass, Crazy Fruits, Golden Game and Red Hot Reels.

Hello all my name is Lee but 1969kappa on here based in Frodsham ,Cheshire been a life long fruity fan although not a fan much since the post £25 machines as the fun has gone out of them now in my eyes started out on Superbank and Reel Crazy both JPM's way back also a monster fan of 80's video MC's (Bombjack,Joust,Gyruss,Mr Do! and many more from that era) also a big fan of pinball (Harlem Globetrotters,The Adams Family and Funhouse being my fav's) tha's about it for now so I will leave it at that

You'll be lucky to find a player these days with change for a twenty! Well it's not that bad, but sometimes feels it is getting that way. Welcome to the board and we look forward to any tales of playing, good or bad. That goes for all the new members, we're a friendly bunch, bar one or two miserable sods.
