Looks Amazing. I can't believe you've done all this in less than a
year! 6 more weeks and it can't come soon enough for me.

One question, last year I played a game there called Orbitor (I think)
for the first time that was very unique. Were you able to replace this
game? I told my brother about it and he's coming with me this year so
I'm hoping he'll get a chance to play it.

You could play the ol' Bob Seger song. Damn, that tune will be stuck
in my head all day now...

Great job.

Orbitor One. Yes, as it so happens, the replacement was donated
by TNT Amusements! You can see it waiting in the maintenance area
right now:

It was saved, but the TA in the picture is a different one. By
some remarkable twist of fate, I now own two Tattoo Assassins.

They are all different. A few restorations were attempted but
they mostly turned out like I would have expected - disappointing.

It is still in transit, actually. Same for Empire Strikes
Back and Escape from the Lost World. I'd estimate there
are about three dozen titles, mostly older EMs, which were
in the previous collection but not the new. Of course,
overall the new collection is much larger. 401 games.

I saw a Sharpshooter and Barracora. Let's get that Cyclopes goin!! A
Roger Sharpe classic division would be excellent. Maybe I could even
drag his butt out there to see it :)

So, has anyone tried to magnify the picture of the games under the A
Division sign, to try to discern Kevin's game selection?

ID4, Kelly Packard, Junkyard, Totan, Safe Cracker, 007, Robocop... Or
maybe that was a bad dream I was having ;)

i personally don't care which games there will be in A Division to play
on..
because i can handle All The Pinballmachines..in knowledge and tactics

and in my opinion, a true Pinball wizard knows them all and can play
them all superb..

@ Kevin M. 'pingod' :)

i must say after seeing the pics,. your collection is absolutly
brilliant,. it must cost a real fortune to maintain them and have them
all together... And i'm very pleased that i will be there too this
year.. along with 6 other dutch People.. most of them you will
recognize from last year :) except for Max. but that isn't a shame.
Not at all.

he almost flashed out our good reputation as a dutch pinballplayer..
that moron. i hope he will stay away.

i can't wait to play some mean pinball in your palace :)

i wish id have also that kind of pinball palace..
well i have it in my dreams ;) LOL

and another fact

i took the European Champion's Title in my own country.

And this year i will try once again to take the World Champion title..
i will do my best.

may the best player win the title.

and i hope it will be as nice as last year..which i guess it certainly
will do :)

i see you martin And all the Rest fellow pinheads at PAPA.

Counting down to the day allready :)

With my best Regards Roy Wils

This is very exciting. Lots of assorted pins, with a great selection of
rare EM's.
Of course, I will be there getting pics during the tournament and lots of
video.

About how many pins are there at this point?

The present location of the games is largely coincidental; we
can move them around oh-so-easily, and we certainly will :)

Hey Kevin, I know you probably couldn't pick the building up and move it
off the flood plain... But was there anything that could reasonably be
done to lessen the likelyhood of a repeat? Outside of insurance, of
course. :)

(Of course, how likely was it for a hurricane to hit in the first place...
I know, I know.)

Hey, if you want to feel bad for me, I had to program the damn
thing in the first place! How's that for suffering?

Well, there is complete flood insurance in place, but in terms of
prevention rather than mitigation, the river has been thoroughly
dredged and cleared of debris and growth. It really looks like a
different river, and even in the heaviest rains, the water barely
rises 4 or 5 inches (flood stage is somewhere around 12-14 feet).

The culprit is just as much the week of solid rain as the continued
developments being built upstream, IMHO. There are two new projects
underway, so I'll be keeping an eye on the river flows to see if they
increase over the next few years.
