Hi everyone, My real name is Dean, I currently live in San Antonio, TX, and I’ve been a fan of pinball since my high school days. I grew up in a small town so didn’t have access to many tables. The first one that grabbed my attention (and money) was High Speed. Then the local bowling alley replaced it with Pin Bot. Oh I got hooked on Pin Bot big time, and got decent at it. Then a few years later a local Pizza place got The Addams Family, and that was my all time favorite. I can still remember the adrenaline rush like it was yesterday the first time it yelled “Fiiiiftyyyy Miiiillliiiioooonn!”. I think I only got that far on the table 2 or 3 times, so it was a big deal for me.
Now days, I’ve played most of what is available on Pinball Arcade and Pinball FX, but still haven’t experienced all of them IRL. My current favorite tables are:
Attack From Mars
Monster Bash
Medieval MadnessI know, boring, everybody loves those. LOL
I am just getting started on Virtual Pinball, Future Pinball, PinballX front end, etc. I’m planning a pincab, but intimidated to build it (I have no woodworking skills or tools), and sticker shocked to buy it finished out ($6K
), so still weighing options. The perfect setup for me would be mostly finished out and wired, but add my own screens and computer. I also want a high refresh rate playfield, so looking at some of the 43″ gaming monitors from Asus. Maybe this one: ROG Swift PG43UQ.I started a thread in the Cabinets section with more details, but not sure that’s the best place to ask for advice, as I think that area of the forum is more for showing off your builds. So if anyone has advice where best to discuss my pincab options, let me know.
