Hi Cara! I have both Tempest and Dig Dug as well. the others I have are Tron, Galaga,Stargate, and zevious.. I also have Black Knight Pinball from 1980, which was the first pinball machine that had features such as a multi level playing field. a Magna save feature which allowed you to light up a special that when activated it would activate two magnetic fields to save your ball from going down the tubes. Also you could lock balls in these hidden chambers and release them, up to four of them at one time I think and you scored Big points of course while being overwhelmed by all that action, and if this was not enough it Taunts you as you play with a synthesized voice. Also I have an old seventies pinball machine called King Pin! It is a classic so I don't allow it to be played very much, but it's the old style with bells instead of the electronic sounds that the newer machines have. Fun Stuff! Game On!
