My all time favorite was Fireball.  After a few years, 
they (Bally?) came out with a Fireball II, which was an
electronic version, but they got rid of all the best 
features (like the spinning disk in the middle of the
playfield).  About two weeks ago, I discovered an arcade
which had a 'Fireball Classic'.  Aparently the original
Fireball has been re-released in an electronic version 
but with a playfield identical to the original.

I've had a few games at home now and then.  My current
machine is a Gottleib Royal Flush, which is a pretty 
good game. (It's for sale, by the way.  Anyone interested?)

The new Williams Space Shuttle is a good game, as was 
Firepower, but Williams has had problems with reliability
on their new games.  Most of the Space Shuttle and Firepower
games I've seen are down as often as their up.

Of course we have backup tapes.  Do you want last year or the
 year before?
