Pinball God Meet last weekend
« on: July 07, 2009, 10:01:15 PM »
Had my first pinball meet, so I thought I'd get some hardcore players in and provide food and drinks. I attached some photos, but I gotta tell ya, the cordial was flowing like nobody's business, and I reckon I cleaned out my area of fairy bread. And the pinball fest went on all night....well until about 7.30pm and then I got tired  %.%

I had a ball and I think the grand kids did too. My next attempt might be targeted towards an older set eventhough most of us pinheads might possess a similar IQ as my grand kids  if not a little less after some of that amber liquid stuff %.%

Hope you enjoy the photo's

Great lineup there.  That SWEP1 looks minty.  The best bit the kids really look like they're into the game and playing, not just tapping flippers!

Yeah SWEP1 is pretty close to mint especially with the new monitor. It got a major work out too. Although TZ was far off in game time.

Excellent!

That is a real 'mini meet' - yes always great to see kids enjoying pinball, poor buggers missed out on them growing up.

Thanks for posting and those games look real nice, you should be very proud  *%*

Kids are good judges of whats fun. What machines did they like the most?

Love the Dress Code - I might have to buy a pair of Ben 10 PJ's for the next meet  %.%

Great line up - and how lucky are those kids ??

Star wars won hands down, I think due to the video aspect. It provides them with stuff they are familiar with as well as the additional pinball action

Nice lineup too!

Cheers
