Hi there all,
Hope everyone had a good Xmas and New Year.
Just wanted to say thanks for all the suggestions for public pins in Melbourne & Sydney.
I've had a look on Google maps and think I have the addresses of places mentioned correct - appreciate it if anyone can correct any errors though.
Really must ry to get to that Sandringham Hotel as never played a real-life MM - only a Visual Pinball approximation.
The other game I'd wanna try is SW-E1 as never played a Pinball 2000 machine either, and there's no PC-playable emulation of them as yet. I'd rather it was an RFM but hey :)
Thanks again all
EDIT: Oh- I forgot - there was large arcade in the Mall where Paddy's is last time I was in Sydney- think it was called 'Galaxy' - do they have any pins as far as anyone knows? I'll probably pop in as like vids too - and a sucker for Sega Rally 3 LOLMelbourne CBD Pins:
