Pinball anyone?

CAGiversary!
Just curious to see if anyone else here is a pinball fanatic. Anybody own a machine or two? Whenever I finally get a house my first major purchase will be either a Pirates of the Caribbean or Frank Thomas Big Hurt Baseball machine. There's a bar near my apartment that has Pirates and I've tagged the thing many times with a score around 400mil. Great pinball machine.
 
Pinball rocks--at one point, I had the high score on every machine in both hockey arenas around here. I actually played the Congo machine for 1 hour and 15 minutes straight on one play.

When I buy one, I want a Pinbot machine. That game rocks.

I think my top 3 favorites are Pinbot, High Speed 2: The Getaway, and World Cup Soccer 94.
 
Is that the soccer machine that has the dog on the backglass and the spinning ball towards the upper right? Great machine, but I hate the skill shot on that thing.

What's the pinball scene like where you are? Here in minneapolis we have ssbilliards (ssbilliards.com) which is walking distance from my place featuring roughly 20 pins at any given time as well as many pins on location in bars. From all of the towns I've been in it seems like minneapolis has the most random pinball machines of any place I've ever been. Please prove me wrong.
 
I have 2 full size pinball machines in my personal arcade...they are:

Super Mario Bros.
Special Forces

I also have the following full size arcade machines:

Neo Geo MVS 4-Slot
Space Invaders Deluxe
Vigilante
Nintendo Vs. Cocktail
 
Which SMB? There were two made by Gottleib in the early 90's...
The first one was pretty great the second one (mushroom world) left a bit to be desired. If you need a new translight for that machine I have NOS for both.
 
My uncle has a vintage Williams Old Chicago machine. He hosts our family reunions so I always go in the basement and play pinball all day, damn that machine is pretty fun. A couple other of my favorite machines are Stern's Playboy Pinball, and I think it's a Williams machine, Elvira's Scared Stiff, and let's not forget Bride of Pinbot.

Edit - Balls of Steel is the best PC pinball game ever. It's got Duke Nukem!
