So we've established a little nook for pinball and we started with the game we pumped the most credits into on location. 007. Hands down couldn't stop playing it and my wife and I are big Bond fans. Godzilla followed a bit later when the 70th anniversary pins came out because we loved that game too. Dune will arrive sometime this Spring to fill out the planned gaming capacity. I ordered its alternate back glass. Honestly can't find one in the wild without a 5 hour drive so I'm going off YouTube vids and a deep love of the book. We're looking to decorate a bit more than we have previously but we're not even sure where to start. My first thought was a back glass frame with a backlight to put up the OG Dune back glass. We're also looking for neon signs but its hard to even know where to look for those. Along the lines of the other back glass display, I wouldn't mind finding an Attack from Mars translight as its the game that got me into pinball in the first place. Any ideas or advice as we get started on this journey? I'll keep working on my wife about a 4th pin + invisiglass (though glare hasn't been a big issue down there yet). submitted by /u/air805ronin [link] [comments]
