Title: Pinball Pictures
Post by: Crashramp on April 13, 2019, 11:40:45 PM
Pinball pictures, because who doesn’t love a good pinball picture! None of these games are mine but they are all games I’ve played and places I’ve enjoyed. Feel free to post your own.

These are from Netherworld about 2 years ago. Excellent line up and every time I’ve been back they’ve changed them up a bit. Always excellent condition too.

I never cared much for CFTBL until I played this one. Excellent playing condition.

T2 and T2 shooter....pretty cool

Now this game was a surprise, never seen one before this day but really cool and great fun.

Yes, I forgot about the high scores blackboard. It’s a great idea and adds to the gaming atmosphere of the place. I didn’t take many photos but there are a heap of classic arcade games there too.


A few more pictures. These are 12 months ago while I was at  the Pacific Pinball Museum. This is an Awesome place in San Francisco made up of about 5 or 6 rooms full of pinball machines. They have about a hundred machines in the place at any one time but over a thousand machines in there collection that they swap in and out regularly. A very cool place.

You’re greeted with the earlier games when you come through the door and as you walk your way through they get newer and newer.

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190413/d67bfc6e9f867b22b359ecdffbbdee9d.jpg)

I played a lot of games I’d never played before but Space Odyssey and Harlem Globetrotters I really enjoyed.

Games all have plaques with a bit of history on each machine.

Got to play this transparent Bally Freedom too. Very cool machine, I just wish I took some better pictures of it.

Santa Monica pier. This was during the same trip as the Pinball Museum visit last year. Wasn’t a pinball holiday but managed to find a few.

Pretty cool line up I think.

Punchy The Clown - Greg asked me to look for one of these 10 years ago - could never find it. To this day, I've never seen one in person.

Punchy confused me a bit. I’ve heard people say how great it is but after playing it I kind of thought either I’m really missing something here or they were taking the piss and I didn’t realise it. Looks pretty but that’s about it.

More of a novelty game - that's more or less the appeal. Rare and unique. I'd love to play one - one day !

Bit of a coincidence but here’s a new video about the Pacific Pinball Museum and the guy who started it all. They told me they had over 1000 machines in total. Turned out it’s actually 1700 machines!
Here’s the link.

New pictures I took a few days ago at Modern Pinball in New York. Cool little place with about 35 to 40 machines. 20 bucks gets you a wrist band that lets you come and go with free play access all day.

I didn’t think I’d get to play one of these, defiantly looks better in person and pretty fun game too.

More from Modern Pinball.
It’s largely a single room with a few little nooks hiding a game or two in the corners.

The colour on the modern backglasses is all washed out unlike the screen printed ones.
Single layer print does this and it means you lose all depth to the colours.
I wish they would print these properly, its not hard to do.

Awesome Photos Adam, Ben and I visited NYC 2 years ago :) We enjoyed Modern Pinball but Sunshine laundry mat in Brooklyn is amazing they have all the latest games. Silverball Pinball Museum in New Jersey is fantastic, they have mainly older games from 60’s 70’s and so on. I’m going back in October this year including Santa Monica so looking forward to that part of the trip.

I actually played a few games here at Santa Monica today Peter and unfortunately I wouldn’t go out of my way. Zero maintenance since I was here last. Star Wars still plays ok since it’s newer I guess but the rest need quite a bit of attention.

In the US at the moment and the pins at Santa Monica pier are just getting worse the condition is just horrid. Tried playing the walking dead but the plunger couldn’t plunge the ball had to wait for ball search. Also looks like they’d never been cleaned. The Adams was also unplayable.

Yes it's the end of the trail for those machines. Rooted 66.
Sad when people neglect them. Why bother having them there if they're unplayable.
