Very cool to receive a comment from Canada. In the summer of 1995 I was there as a "Bundeswehr" soldier for a few weeks at the "Shilo Shooting Range" with our Leopard 2 tanks. After work we went to the near-by town called "Brandon" EVERY EVENING to visit the local strip club. Booze was super cheap, the girls were hotter than hell. When leaving the club, we always felt like new born! Days never forgotten! And pinball was still there back then. Then we went to Winnipeg where i found a 1993 "Twilight Zone" in a big, big shopping mall. Still a picture exists of me playing this machine. Those were the days! Keep rockin' ! You are welcome!

Simple but challenging play.

Hi Tomy 👋 You have been putting some videos of some great machines the past month. Gratz on obtaining the Wizard machine that you have badly been wanting. love to see you all play on the machines I played as young man 40 & 50 years ago. 👍 👍 💯

Thanks for your comment! It must have been around 1978 when I got pinball fever. It was the local supermarket where the pinball machines were and the very old, first arcade games. Definitely I remember Bally's Night Rider and then Gottlieb's Solar Ride. From then on I was a "Flipper-Fan" continuously until today (2024), although collecting only started in 2007. To ever have a JOKER POKER at home. It would be unimaginable if someone had asked me about it in 1981. My brother and I always had to make sure that our parents didn't show up at the supermarket and pull us away from the flippers by the ears. Not to talk about what happened at home after that…..Long time ago, long time ago….

@Tomyelectronic Hahaha! similar story here, 40 years ago early 1980's four of us would lie to our parents telling them we doing a sleep over at one guys house and his parents would be home, but they were not, we would walk miles to a carry out food place that was open 24 hours called Crabtowne USA which is still there today, they had arcade and pinball, we played Eight Ball Deluxe all night and thru the early morning eating fries and drinking cokes... we did that for a few years it was the best 👍👍... we never got caught 😁

Thank you for your comment. You are right. Think this machine hasn't spent that much time on location. The state of preservation is simply too good for that. Of course I was happy to be able to receive such a pearl.
