Dude... you old school.  How old are you?


I bust out my OG Nintendo NES once in a great while.  I have some of the other more modern systems but I lost interest in most of them 10 or so years ago.

Here's one of my favs and sorry for the neck workout:

Better shot of backglass which is way sweet IMHO. As you can see, the woman next to the man is holding a mirror revealing his hand.

Partial shot of playfield:



I still own this machine:

Saw this plate of some guys car on the way to work today....a bit older guy, but goes with the territory.

Dang, that guy is serious.

While in college I remember going to Foosball USA (in Rochester) for tourney's. What a blast those were, and there were some very serious/good players. My partner and I never did all that well in them, but what a learning experience. There were 2 dudes out of Canada that seemingly always cleaned house there. Their front man had bank shots that I had never even seen before. When I first saw him make one I thought it was on accident, after the 3rd one I knew it wasn't. LOL

We had a fooz table in the frat house back in the day.  One of the few things that seemed immune from the stale beer and filth that permeated everything else in the house.  Holding the foosball table all night at the Inn Between was a thing to be proud of.

The table we have at home is a Tornado that was used in the National Foosball Championships.  After the tourney they sell the lightly used tables at a very good discount.  I’ve tried to convince the kids that foosball skilz will serve them well in college, but it seems it’s not as big now as it used to be.  

Our dog barks up a storm when we fooz.  He doesn’t like the violent ‘thunk’ when I bury a shot....

My friend and I were pretty serious PB player back in the day and wagered for beers. We formed a "doubles" team, meaning each of us on one flipper, versus anyone in the bar(s) who'd want to take us on. We cleaned up. At one point he and I considered entering a serious PB competition in Manhattan, but we ended up not competing. I repaired/restored and sold off most of my collection. Folks from may states rolled in with trucks and Uhaul trailers to buy their machine or machines of choice. I think at the height of my collection I had 25 machines. Not a huge number, but had them all over the place, in garages, basements, crawl spaces, and my bedroom! Wife was thrilled bout the one in the bedroom....NOT!
I worked worth a guy who collected "smalls"...fountain pens, watches, etc... He told me I was nuts owning 25 machines at one time. I told him it was all good...different strokes for different folks. I miss some of those machines now. All this went on before the days of Craigslist. I would see machines advertised on the Usenet (for those who remember the pre-browser command line days), on rec.games.pinball. Now I'm dating myself

Tornado is my fav table --- Hurricane was nice too

I agree that holding the table at any bar is Boss. We'd play for beers, best feeling wan't having to buy one for hours.
