You must have been posting this while I was typing my message! That is way more modern than mine was, but the name seemed right and I remember mine had the A-10 markers that you had to knock down. So I wonder if it was some earlier version of this machine.
That sounds a bit like Aces High, which is a real oldie...
I looked at that picture, still more modern than mine....

Jacks Open. It's on the first page. Has the knockdowns.

VERY similar! But still too fancy and modern, although I think that the art on the side of the machine might be the same as mine was. I might not be able to wait until my brother's lunch hour to call him now.....

Some of my favorites from back in the day....

This was the first pinball game I played with regularity. Probably came out around 1986-7ish. The goal was to make the light turn red and then run the ramp.....



Image
Image

The cards on the backglass spun around when you hit the Draw Poker feature and you'd get points based on what hand would come up. This one was probably at my bowling alley in 1989 or so. It was the first pinball game where I learned you could hit the flipper buttons to move the lights on the lanes at the top to get more multiplier bonuses....



Image
Image

Elvira replaced the Jokerz machine in 1990, and became an instant favorite (Me and my sisters got a laugh out of pressing the start button when there was no credits in the machine and hearing Elvira say "Don't touch me there!" I became quite good at this one before it was replaced with a sucky Batman pinball game.....



Image
Image

Without a doubt, the most entertaining pinball game I have ever played. This one was at the bowling alley my sisters bowled at in the early 90's, and I played the shit out of this one.... until they one day decided to get rid of it. But they replaced it with.....



Image

Slugfest!!!! Not your standard type pinball game, but close enough for me to include here.....

For 2 dollars, you could play a whole 9 innings... and I scored a ton of 1992 Topps and 1991 Fleer baseball cards from this machine, which spit real baseball cards out for certain accomplishments. I became quite adept at this one too (My record is 93 runs in 9 innings), and still know the names and order of all 18 players in the game. Yes, it's been 16 years since I had a chance to play it.....

Found it! (Thanks to my brother)

Dealer's Choice

The A-10 were rollovers, not knockdowns. So, without my brother's help, I probably would have never found it.

You're right, I was getting sleepy when I made that post..... although that could've been because it was over an hour past my bedtime.....

The reason a machine that you used to play may not look like you remember is because some were designed for one player, two players, or even four players. Often times they changed the name of the machine for each version.

Here's the link to the "Internet Pinball Database". It has descriptions and pictures of almost every pinball machine ever made. You have to give them your e-mail for access.

Don't balme me when you waste three or four hours looking at all the games. Enjoy.

Thanks for the warning, Ray! You probably salved me a couple of hours there.
