Question. You're stranded on a Desert Island, probably for a few years and you can only have one of the following items with you. Which one would you go for?

Item 1 - any real Pinball Machine of your choice, in perfect condition.

- or -

Item 2 - a top of the range Pin Cab installed with every virtual pinball table ever created.


Luckily the Desert Island comes with a power supply and a fridge stocked with an unlimited amount of beer and after 6 months you have the option to exchange your chosen item for a VolleyBall companion.

POTC would be fitting on a desert island!
I guess you might have to say a cab only for the variety, different tables to look at cuz that might keep you sane, though the sun during the day might wash out the screen pretty good. But if I also had endless books or a TV with even 1 channel on it, I'd take a real pin.
For practical purposes, you might want a real F-14 or AC/DC LE, because when playing those at night they would be most likely to signal a rescue boat or plane from miles away!
I'd also very much consider a game like Pinball Circus on a desert island. I still haven't played it myself, but there is so much to do & look at on that game judging from the pics.
