I first got into pinball back in 1998 when I was a senior in high school. I spent the year at the local community college earning both cologne and high school credits through a state post-secondary program. At the college there was a lounge with 3 pinball machines: Super Mario, Nightmare on Elm Street, and Big Hurt! For some reason I fell in love with Big Hurt. By the second semester I was obsessed, and I was dominating the high scores! I ended up with a C in Spanish that semester, but if Big Hurt were a class I would have ended up with an A+!!! 
     I've been a pinhead ever since that year at the community college, and was recently fortunate enough to make my first pin purchase. You guessed it, a Big Hurt in great condition!!! Look for me on the scoreboard baby, DJP!!!!!

I find it a bit odd that somebody from MN is a Big Hurt fan….You can put it on the board……YESSS!

Congratulations! It is a fun game. Hope you made some room for other machines since they seem to attract one another.

My wife and I love Big Hurt. It's at one of our local arcades and we have to get a few games in every time we go. Nice to see someone else like it too!

You have to go with what you liked. My first pins were Addams Family, TNG, and Roadshow. Which one of these is the most economical?

That must be the best smelling college in the world. I didn’t know you could earn cologne for going to school!
