Jungle Lord and Nitro Ground Shaker.

A row of electro-mechanical machines. They didn't see as much player as the newer pins, but I had fun trying each of them out, especailly as opportunities to play machines like this are very rare.

Knockout (on the right) from Bally, and next to that an old Exhibit Review, a machine that doesn't even have flippers! Exhibit Review even has wooden legs (which you can make it out in the picture).

Kick Off and Bank-A-Ball.

Space Odyssey and Monte Carlo.

Lost World and Stingray.

Dracula and Chicago Coin's Olympics.

Playboy and Paragon.

Black Hole and Terminator 2. Black Hole is unique in that it has a second playfield below the first (not visible in the picture, but it's through the blue plastic on the playfield).

F-14 Tomcat and Doctor Who.

Addams Family and Twilight Zone.

Whirlwind (yes, that's a fan on top) and Whodunnit.

A second Addams Family machine and Flight 2000.

Attack from Mars and White Water. Attack from Mars was one of the two tournament games ath the show, the other being Star Wars (which is sitting next to it on the left).

Most of the pictures I took were with the overhead lights in the room on, so I could get good pictures without using a flash. However, these lights were normally off, with the only illumination coming from various colored ligths throughout the room (such as what you see above Tron), and a few lights along the edges of the walls. I did take a few pictures with the lights off, though, and the room was actually darker than it looks in this photo due to the longer exposure.
