Finding pinball's to play
Posted: Mon Jul 14, 2008 12:02 pm
I live in an area scarce for arcades with pinball. The movie theaters will usually have a small arcade with one pinball machine.
The coin op laundromats also might have a pinball machine, I have played a few different titles by stopping into laundromats, funny thing to stop in a laundromat while out looking for games to play! A plus is I never had to wait in line to play pinball in a laundromat. And if kids are there there parents are usually right there as well.
The big kid arcades that have pinball neglect them and they can be in bad shape.
I have played pinball in Pizza joints also. They might have a machine in decent condition.
I only found one bar with 2 pinballs. It was located in a downtown BOB, a building with many bars and restaurants.
Some bowling alleys have coin op games, with a single pinball.
So I have found that looking in unusual places can be rewarding.
I think finding pins to play on location is almost a hobby in itself, rewarding and challenging.
