Family Friendly Pins

[brewmanager]

I've been tasked with the rather difficult job of building a collection (well, small collection - space for 4 is my allotment) that conforms to rules laid out by my better half.

1. No boobs or scantily clad women (sigh - hardest rule of all to follow, since I...well, you can guess).
2. No violence.
3. No horror or overly scary stuff.

This has made things...not exactly difficult, but has certainly limited what I've been able to do.

So - keeping in mind that I seem to favour Lawlor and Ritchie, can anyone suggest perhaps a pin I might not have considered or owned?

TAF
FT
IJ

A Lawlor and two Ritchies (Mark though)

Lots to choose from. NGG, TOTAN are other family friendly pins for sure.

Tron is a great modern pin if you're into that and you can always hide the back box art if Quorra or Gem offend anyone.
XM will also be popular with the kids... but I guess that could be considered violent by some standards.

Good luck.

Haven't really logged much TAF time - doesn't it have some horror elements?

Wow, my wife give me exactly the sames rules... all the womens are the same. By the way, FT is a good choice. No boobs, no violence, no horror and a lot of fun.

The Flintstones ftw and I just happen to know where to find one too Walt

There is also:

Shrek
Rollercoaster Tycool (the troll might scare some kids though)
Theatre of Magic
White Water (I know where to find one locally and there is also one in Ottawa too)
The Party Zone
Dr. Dude
World Cup Soccer
Rocky and Bullwinkle
Pirates of the Carribean
Super Mario Bros
Hook (One in detroit for $1400)
Strange Science (I know a local pansy who I can refer you to who might have one for sale)
The Simpsons
The Simpsons Pinball Party

Not at all. Addams has always been a very campy theme with more humor than horror.
They were the counterpoint to the Munsters back in the day.

The game is super fun and has one of the best theme executions ever.
It's classic Lawlor! Play through the modes and you'll have a blast.
Touring the mansion is fantastic. Multiball is super exciting and the magnets behind the POWER really add some variety to gameplay.
It's an easy choice and, before I got my XM, its the pin most people played when they came over.

Been really enjoying my Tommy and my daughter loves the spinning plane propellers. Very family/wife friendly

Errr Fiddle About = not very family friendly (or maybe family friendly in a wrong way)

 

[RJW]

Sorry, Tommy is certainly not family friendly. Fiddle About (song about incest/sexual abuse), Acid Queen (song about a drug dealing prostitute) and
some of the other song/modes are a little racy. The songs/modes are maybe subtle enough that most people probably wouldn't notice it but it's there.

My bad! Honestly never paid much attention to the lyrics, but u Guys are right.

Angry Birds....of course !

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I might never get them off that Angry Birds pin, that's true.
