Hahaha - yep forgot about the Sydney daily's !
OK - PHOF report - not a lot of pics to put up as 99% of you have seen the rows of games from other peoples travels and my past threads as well.
Nothing much has changed as far as the overall line up goes , apart from a few newer titles added.
At least he has a MASSIVE new sign and you now CANT miss the place - I am sure this has been shown at Pinside too , but here it is.
Thats Molly from Pins & Needles playing in the photo - we met her at Steves place last Monday night as well in LA.
She travels a LOT ( all over the USA ) to play pinball and is one sweet chick.
The counter area does not appear to change here too often !
And this 'Gattling Gun' game was in brilliant condition ( obviously being/ been restored )
I wanted to ask a little about this but the guys were really busy today.
And for all you EM lovers and traditionalists out there who wouldn't DARE alter an EM , an "old girl" in ANY way ......well PHOF now fully LED all of thier EM titles.
What I noticed today ..........
TONNES of people coming in and out of the place ( it is Saturday here )
I did a couple of walk-arounds at various times throughout the day and counted 90-120 on both occasions and that seemed to be the amount of people in the joint in and out all day long - always a constant large number - great stuff.
Games were in decent condition - not great - but very very playable and we spent 5 hours there. They had Tim and 2 other guys ALWAYS wandering around checking out what was going on and KEEN to ensure things were going OK - especially one of the techo guys , he seemed VERY interested in ensuring all patrons had a good time.
Around 10% of the games were switched off ( faults ) - still left about 150+++ titles to play.
Avatar is a LEFT SIDE drain monster !
I still like IJ4 - and I dont care how 'the hobby' rates it - I always enjoy it for some reason ( each to thier own I guess )
The dunny was very clean - which surprised me to be honest
Had an enjoyable day - Berts hands are swollen , so thats a sign of how many games he played - he enjoyed the place a lot as a 1st time visitor.
Down to the nutcake place that is Fremont St tonight
