Now that's an arcade.
My place looks like Con's milk bar of old with a couple of pinnies for the kids.

If you remember playing pinball in the 70s you were having a good time.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

There has been discussion of late regarding a lack of marketing by Stern. 2013 has seen an definite increase of publicity via media outlets. Possibly in response to JP coming onto the scene, who knows what the motivation is - its good for pinball
