After picking up Dungeons & Dragons, Haunted House, and Black Hole for my game room, I thought my pinball buying days were over. Then one evening while browsing on Ebay, I stumbled across a listing for a sweet little machine called Sorcerer. I thought the name sounded cool, and truth be told was kind of jealous, because it was a better looking game than my first love Dungeons & Dragons.
My wife took a peek at it and she was really enchanted by the artwork, which was somewhat reminiscent of one of her favorite art nouveau painters, Alfons Mucha, mixed with swords & sorcery of course. Well, here I was, already the owner of three pinball machines which most folks would regard as three too many, and my wife (of all people) was urging me to buy another one! Can you believe that?
It was meant to be... so how could I not buy it, right?
Sorcerer was made in 1985 by Williams, and according to the markings on the machine mine is serial number 53257284 and was completed on May 30th.
Here is an overall view of the game:

My high score to date is featured in the column on the right.
UPDATE: Here's a YouTube video of Sorcerer in action. Love the 80's sound effects and music!

Wow! That's an amazing score.
My scores are mediocre at best. Either I'm not really that good at pinball, or I have too many different games to play and haven't mastered any of them yet. I do have a lot of fun in my man cave though!!!

Dracula on loan? Sweet! Wish I had friends like that.
Black Knight would be a great one to pick up. Haven't actually played it, but I've seen it and I'm sure it would be a blast!
Take care, and keep practicing so you can get even with that 14 year old!
