No Creature from the Black Lagoon? No Mars Attacks? No accounting for the national taste... :) Great list.

Odd, Xenon, Pin Bot and Black Knight seemed to be everywhere in the 80s, but if pinball games are the only thing I am wrong about today it will be a very good day.

Two classic machines from the early 80s I would have loved to see in Pinball Arcade (its a shame they lost the licence):
Silverball Mania
Dolly Parton

I cannot believe Gilligan's Island Pinball did not make this list as popular as it was.

I played Eight Ball in the first Ballys Pinball Wizard Championship at the Playboy Towers in Chicago. This where they introduce the First Playboy pinball machine that had Patty McQuire and I am not sure) but I think it was Dorthy Straton. I finish 14th. Is there anyone else out there that was at that match?
