Featured Pinball Anyone ?

[XFIRE82]

Well it's been awhile since I fired up the Pinball Machine, and since I got one that is car related theme here it is. Nitro Ground Shaker , made by Bally, jan 1980. The pic don't do it justice but I think it is one of the nicest artwork backglasses ever on a pinball. There is so much detail in there, the connecting rod and piston on the track, Foxy Lady belt buckle, the chick got her ears plugged and saying " Good Lord " cause the engines are so loud, some hanky panky going on in the stands, the skeleton on the hood, etc etc.....it is just awesome. This era of game lets the player use his skill in the game, not like the new games of today press a button for shooter and the ball is flying around lightning speed up/down ramps disappearing and counting millions of points.

I remember when I was young ....

Realizing in not too many years that one may have to explain what that thing is for
to the members that also have to google what "hanky-panky" means

Thank you for posting

....sorry I don't have a better camera but I tried to take some better pics of the crowd, and clearly you can see a pair of drumsticks over the edge of the railing and a guy holding her down, some hanky panky up there in the tower.

Wow. That is quite the machine, clearly the artist has been to the races before!

Nice to see the old vintage games. Very cool XFIRE. I remember this one. My fave of the day was “Gorgar.” Asteroids was a good one too.
