Quoted from Mad_Dog_Coin_Op:Here is a row of 3 from the best year (1982) in the best gaming decade.

That is an awesome collection of machines! If I ever saw those pop up for sale locally those would be ones worth owning!
I'm very thankful to get a couple of my own grail games. Survivor Atari Red Baron upright (Vector game), Asteroids Deluxe upright (friend found it from his pool guy on my birthday). Also have a few other vintage games that I appreciate. An Atari X/O football with stand, Midway Extra bases baseball cocktail, and a Space Invaders Cocktail. May eventually add a couple more.
That Atari football was a surprise. I'm not into sports game that much but my son is. That game is a lot more fun than I expected. Both of my sons enjoy it. Played with my youngest for 5 minutes and he was breaking a sweat. They aren't kidding when they say that is one of the most physically exhausting games.

During the 70s, pinball cabinet fashion changed into darker colors. While lots of 60s games had white cabinets, it's hard to find white 80s games.
Striker is a cool exception to this rule. I just finished a playfield swap on this beast. She's fresh!

Looks great. Pretty rare Sys 80A I believe. Never seen one to play. Looks like a nice layout.

Thanks! Yes, it's quite rare. And most of them went to France, so you almost never run into one.
Striker is crazy fun. Unique layout and cool rules. One of the few real hidden gems imho.
Mine actually spent its money making career in France as well.

Absolutely...for everything, not just pins.
If I had a time machine I'd put 1980 -1988 on constant rotation.....
