Additionally, we also update the game ROM’s, or software, on every pinball machine we sell to make sure you have the latest update. Why? Sometimes revisions were made to the code after the pinball machine was released to enhance the playability of the game or fix bugs. More often than not, the pinball machines we restore have the original version. So we remove and reprogram the machine so that you have the latest and greatest with every purchase!
