Phantom of the Opera

Again, a very cool theme.  I don't come across these very often but have played it and enjoy the gameplay.  I like the Data East games - similar to the Playboy I have and the Secret Service I had.

I found one just outside of Edmonton so bought it an brought it home. 

I think I overpaid by a couple of hundred as it needs work.  And the backglass is OK but not 100%.

Still we will fix it up and play it.  No worries.  The backglass is super cool because it lights up and you can see the Phantom's grisly face underneath the mask.  Plus the music is very heavy and gothic.

Stargate

Stargate was a cool movie from 1994 I believe...

I found a pinball machine on that theme and played it a bit.  It was pretty cool. 

I vowed if I ever found one for cheaper I would buy it.

And today I found one and added it to the collection.  It's made by Gottlieb in 1994.  There are a few issues - the DMD has 2 dead lines right in the middle and the spaceship doesn't come out of the pyramid.  I haven't played it very much.  It's in the garage warming up.

But I think I can fix it and get it back to 100%..... Stay tuned!  Lol.
