    Default 1st post and I have a Question

    1st I want to say Hi to everyone and let you know I have been bitten by the bug. I just got my 1st machine (WILDWOLF) from aaapachislo and I love it!
    Now my question. I am ready to buy another one and want a little feedback on some other good machines and also some to stay away from. I'm looking for something that differs from Wildwolf so it's not like I'm playing the same machine with just other graphics on it if that makes sense. Maybe If some of you could rate your top 5 machines to get and your bottom 5 to stay away from I could make another good selection on my next machine.
    Thanks in advance for all you help and input.

    WELCOME TO PACHITALK!!!

    It all depends on how much you want to spend. and what themes you like... thunderbirds? 99usd speed racer? 150-250usd. popeye, super blackjack, the list goes on... wanna go crazy? get a spin luck. they are awsome, but you will have to fight for one. last two spin lucks went for 800+

    everyone says to stay away from million god...

    most of the machines are a lot of fun, it's a good idea to find one that goes with something you like.
    Like Thunderbirds, Metal Slug, Speed Racer, Sinbad Adventure, Gamera ETC.

    Don't buy a Million God or Gold X, you will reget it

    To our little slice of imported happiness.


    Find a theme that you like and go with that. It is all up to the individual as to what they like.
    Yes some machines are sought after more than others, but there are tons of machines that everyone overlooks and have great game play.
    I agree with Eddie, register in the museum (link at top of page, use your same username and password for the registration). Just browse throung there make yourself a list then ask us our opinions at that point. That is the best way, cuz what we like may not be what you would like.

    This is my personal opinion, or of the voices in my head, and are not meant to reflect the opinion of this board.

    Welcome magicdan13. My best advise is to pick a theme that interests you and buy plenty so they don't get lonely. Consider pachinko, too.

    Never met a Pachi I didn't like!

    Welcome to PachiTalk, magicdan!

    There are several good suggestions so far as to your next machine. Read reviews in the museum and threads here on specific machines.

    Personelly, I have several favorites, a few that I really like that others do not. So the decision must be yours. However, you will not be misled by the folks here!

    One that I would shy away from that hasn't been mentioned yet is Fire Fighter. It is a beautiful machine but I understand the play and sound lacks a lot. I don't own one so I can't say for sure.

    A good, fairly inexpensive machine is Neo PlanetT, a great fairly inexpensive machine is King Camel. The list could go on and on.

    Of the 23 machines I own all I can say is, I love 'em all! This doesn't count the three pachinkos and two antique machines.
    Check my member page here or...

    Temporarily, go to youtube.com and search for BudgeRahe for videos. Until I get the links set up in the museum

    You are a member of a new nation, Pachination

    The concept of PachiTalk was to bring together anyone and everyone who has a passion for these amazing Japanese creations. Once you stepped through the doors at PachiTalk.com, you become part of the Pachination.
    You are no longer Japanese, American, English, Italian, German, etc. (If I missed you I am sorry). You are now considered a Pachinational, put that on an application! We are all one big entity amongst ourselves and our Pachis. Segregation is not our philosophy and the seperating of diffent cultures will not happen, we are one, under the Pachi Flag.

    We are the United Nations of Pachiland....

    Hey thanks alot for all your input. I am thinking about the King Camel. It looks like it might be a pretty wild machine. it's funny my 1st machine was easy to pick it had a real cool look to it and i thought all the machines were alike just different themes. And then I find Pachitalk read some of the posts and find out how wrong I was. I am sure there are machines that are pretty much clones of others But I'm finding that most are really unique with there own kind of game play. Man, decisions decisions! I have a feeling I might be in the Dog House when I tell my wife i'm getting another one. We barely have room for my WildWolf!

    Thanks again everybody
