Subject: Does anyone remember 'talking' pinball machines like 'Eight Ball Deluxe' ?
Written By: Tony20fan4ever on 02/24/06 at 10:19 am
I liked to play 'Eight Ball Deluxe', I thought the fact that it had a voice on it, telling you how well you were doing and even saying 'Oops-bad english' if you 'tilted' was kinda cool...another talker was 'Centaur'...if anyone can think of other pinball machines that talked or had cool music/sound effects, post 'em here....
I wonder if giving pinball machines voices and cooler sounds was that they were trying to keep the profits coming with competition with video games for arcade play?

I'm not sure if it was a talking pinball machine, but I do remember one machine in particular. The Black Knight. As a kid, it gave me the creeps just looking at it. ;D
