One of my rules for playing the game was that I couldn't stop until I saw Thing steal the ball at least once. Thing! Thing would actually hide inside a red box and if your ball got close enough to it, he would pop out and steal it. Without a doubt, my favorite thing about this machine was. It's not a surprise that this machine is in the top 10 of most people's "greatest pinball machines ever" lists. Don't get me wrong, it's still quite a challenge just not to the extent that it's impossible to last a few minutes on one quarter. I don't know how, but they somehow made this machine have the perfect balance of cool features without too many distractions so you can have some long games. " The Addams Family" pin ball machine, while not nearly as flashy as the Freddy one, is easily my all-time favorite pinball game. Unfortunately, I haven't seen this pinball machine in an arcade in a looooong time. Some of the best features included an animated Freddy head (which glowed while it chomped) and a Freddy glove flipper that you could actually use to flip the ball off the ramp.
During the nightmare modes, you'd have to keep track of multiple balls while you tried knocking them into the boiler room. The game itself is great though, featuring both "awake" and "nightmare" modes. I'll admit, I was never really good at this particular pinball game - probably because there were so many flashy distractions on the playfield that it was hard to keep track of where you hit the ball. On top of it all, Freddy talks shit to you with his usually array of cheesy one-liners while you play. There's just so much going on in it that it's impossible not to love. " Freddy: A Nightmare on Elm Street" is easily one of my favorite horror-themed pinball machine designs. Two games in particular have always been favorites of mine.
Well, with Halloween right around the corner, I got to thinking about pinball because some of my favorite machines have been horror-themed. Sure, I've gone on an on about video games both old and new, but what about pinball? Pinball is like the adopted son the parents love him 'n all, just not as much as their real offspring, the video game. I realized the other day that something I don't talk about enough on here is pinball.
