As far as I know, there are no specifically tiki pinballs. I've been a pin collector for years and have been looking for a nice tropical one to add to the collection for awhile (along with a Wonderland machine, based on the Alice books). There ARE some pretty cool Hawaian themed tables however (although I havent spotted a single Tiki on any of them!) Some are straight up pinball, but most seem to be machines called "Bingos". Bingo machines do not have flippers...the ball just falls into a hole and scores. Traditionaly, you used alot of body-english on these machines (esp in the days before the TILT mech was implemented). Here are some links to examples: This flyer is awesome... This is the one I see at conventions all the time: If anyone cares, this is the Wonderland Machine: Other Hawaii themed machines: http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=62&depth=0&picno=61 http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=3138&depth=0&picno=13599 Any of these would be a cool addition to a game room/tiki bar, and if you want, you can always add playfield pieces (tikis) to the machine. Good luck with the search! Sully (The Bargoyle) http://bargoyle.yafro.com/ (no new photos, go back to feb or jan) |
