Here's a similar picture of my little French Fry ... ;-)

 

That's a great picture, Alek!

 

Great Piccy !

I especially like the pinball machine in the background.. I've been thinking of getting an old cocktail video game.. you know, the old sit down space invaders type. Of course, it'll be relegated to the garage till the 'kids' are old enough to appreciate a games room

Glad you like it Crazy_Rob and good spot john_loch - that's a Pinbot Pinball machine - some year/decade I'll add more to that page, but it includes a video link of 23-month old Kyle (French Fry above) playing from an "interesting" perspective.

So you can start 'em early ... and video machines (especially with PC's, Xbox, PSP, etc.) would probably not be as interesting as an old electro-mechanical game like Pinbot - highly recommended!

alek

P.S. I hope this joke comes off "right", but if your kids are really young, they would probably like an Elvira pinball machine - here's a picture for your viewing pleasure ... figure that tie the thread somewhat back to Shawn's Avatar! ;-)

 

need a babysitter? heheh

 

That's my sons Kyle on the left and Dirk on the right ... and yea, having a pinball machine actually makes a darn good babysitter! ;-)

 

actually, i was asking if i could babysit! hahah i just wanna come over and be a part of the fun komar house! will you adopt me?

 

LOL, never expected something like that from Shawn

 

Oh me too. Count me in on that babysitting. I want to tackle the big inflatable Hulk. I promise not to eat all your food or make out with Andrea either.

 

The webcams will be watching you guys ... ;-)

P.S. The Hulk is usually stored in my basement ... and my kids like to tackle him too ... despite that, he's only had one leak

 

I better bring a patch kit because I plan on laying some hard hits on the hulk.

You might actually get a lot of traffic for people wanting to watch it.

 

Hulk points out that he has jumped off the roof of his house.
Hulk wonders if Puny Human Hodgedup is up for that?

 

Haha yep, I must say the Elvira Pinball looks good. Good to see gravity doesn't interfere entirely with game play

I think you might be right too about pinball vs cocktail arcade game. Much more interesting (for dad too) - solenoids, flashing lights, mechanical operation.. and best of all.. I can add an extra ball !

Now all I gotta do is have a hunt around and see what's available here in Queensland. This brings back some memories

Cheers,
