    Nice to be reminded of the Bobby Orr Power Play machine, definitely
    one of my favorites, along with Fireball. Another favorite on mine 
    was Jumping Jack which was the machine that really got me started.
    After a few years though, I found myself playing the videos and 
    foregoing the pins. Two factors led to this, the fascination with
    the new games and the tendencies of the pin manufacturers to make 
    their machines even tougher with multi playing levels, dimly lit
    playing fields and brightly lit backglasses that created an unfair
    handicap by blinding that player. In spite of that, Pac Man also 
    became one of my favorites because I would take and drape my coat 
    over the backglass. Once, I even had a barmaid give me a hard time  
    for doing that!
