    I think the problem is that Zizzle is no longer trading and I don't think they made many of the small pinballs to start with

    I believe they made 2 versions of the Pirates of the Caribbean and also a Marvel Heroes version.

    Probably any s/h ones are mostly to be found in the USA, I haven't seen many here, probably 2 on eBay UK in the last couple of years, maybe longer

    I only know of one other PT member in the UK with one and he is not here as often these days

    I am still on the lookout for them, and would update here if I found another pirates one

    have you tried looking for any "pinball 2000" or "pinball 2k" machines from williams? Only 2 models exist. Star Wars Episode 1 and Revenge From Mars. The cabinet dimensions are: 45"H x 48"D x 22"W. They also feature video overlays on the play field.

    I actually have both those pinball 2000 models, both in my dining room, although their ' footprint' isn't much more than the Zizzle, they heavy and bulky with the topbox housing the monitor

    and probably going to cost £1,200 GBP upwards ( a non working monitor one just sold on eBay for over £1,200 this week)


    Both pb2000 models are great fun but you have to be careful to get a good one and upgrade the cooling fans to preserve the now obsolete computer parts ( or pay / upgrade to nucore)

    They are both well worth the investment though, and will no doubt keep their value, if you can actually find one for sale

    I was fortunate enough to find a Star Galaxy on eBay that I had to pick up a state over.
    I was unfortunate to learn he also sold a POTC auction I missed.
    A consideration for the Zizzle machines is determining whether they're G1 or G2. The G2 models are the second run machines of the same type with improvements in design.

    Does Baby Pacman qualify as a small pinball?

    I always thought Baby Pacman was cool, but I remember not being able to play it very well when they got one at one of the arcades we used to go to!!

    I have looked several times at the Baby Pacmans on ebay, some complete working ones go for about a $1k. I'm still needing a pinball and a claw/crane machine to consider my game room more or less complete (once I finish all the other things) The Baby Pacman is kind of dual purpose, both a video and a pinball. But... as a pinball it lacks a little since it doesn't have ramps, then again some of the older pinballs just have balls and holes.

    This one may be smaller than you are looking for.

    I think what you are after is called a Zizzle Pinball. They do pop up every once in awhile on eBay.

    Good Luck on finding your machine.

    A friend of mine has a Zizzle Marvel Super Heros G1 version that I had bought from the machines Designer and my friend John Popadiuk and sold to him NIB.
    He got it for his son who has no interest in Pinball and now wants to sell it .
    If you like I can arrange to have you guys exchange emails so that maybe you can discuss purchasing and shipping the game. How does that appeal to you?

    Try looking for "home model" pinball machines. They are in smaller cabinets. Wico, Brunswick/Briarwood, Mattel, Fischer, Bally, all made these home models. Repair information to fix them is at pinwiki.
