Pinball sites in Melbourne

[andrew (nob)]

I was in melbourne last weeknd (with silverballfever) and this is what we found;

Airport - at international arrivals - Simpsons Pinball Party, South Park, Addams Family. $2 for 3 balls. All 3 had issues.
Casino - nothing and all the videogames/redemption machines/children drove me crazy
St Kilda - Apartment 23 had a Sopranos in good nick (though a little dirty). Prince of Wales had a Family Guy but didnt get time to play it. Pub at the end of Akland St had a Getaway in very good nick (though replay almost 200k)

The CFTBL is located opposite Zingara's - the Expresso coffee place (look out for the Italians having a smoko outside.

That's great, literally 10 min walk from me.
 

There's a TOTAN & TOM down the road though.

Down the road?

By the way, there's a Getaway (High Speed 2) at a pizza place called Mymates Pizza, 402 Station St, Thornbury.

Cafe Lamour - bring your poker face as these are out the back.

As for Getaway, there's one on Gilbert Street, Reservoir - haven't played one since "93".

Oh yeah, Cafe L'amour - I know it.  Will check it out, I've never played TOTAN.

Went to check out the CFTBL this morning, accidentally went to Zingara's first.  The woman behind the counter had a "you must be joking" expression on her face when I asked if there was a pinball machine around.  I like the cafe across the road where the machine is, plenty of space and a nice atmosphere with all those old Italian guys hanging around. They've even got a stool for you to sit on while you play.  Better than the pizza shop where the Getaway is - cramped, hot and the smell of average pizza.

I feel quite lucky to have 2 good games within walking distance from my house.  Thanks for your help Prince.

No probs.

Back in the 70s and 80s I lived in Melbourne there was a lot of Coffe shops with the odd pool table and thoes Bingo pinballs (A lot of Bingo Pinballs) I went to a part Amusment/coffe shop called Charleys in Drrimut rd Sunshine. There I played (Firepower, Playboy, Lost World, Stellar Wars, Flash and a Bally Balck Jack. Thats where I lost a lot of 20c bits. I dont no if he is still there but if he is he will have sum pinballs in his shop....
