THE YORK SHOW: October 10th & 11th, 2008 |
|
I started this page with just a few links when I first went online in the summer of 1995, with my first Window computer, an Acer, costing over $1k, which I still have. There used to be an awesome links site called "The Pinball Pasture," back in the early days of Windows 95, but after a while it was no longer updated. I found that good pinball and other coin-op sites were scattered all over the internet, taking hours to find, and many pinball sites had dead links all over the place. So, here's your one stop shop for just about coin op related, and a few miscellaneous sites thrown in. Enjoy! Pingeek. |
