| Everybody nowadays says pinball is dead,
but not necessarily. When I drove around and started to
note all the pinball on location throughout town, I
realized it's not dead yet. I played a perfectly good
Tee'd Off recently at a laundrymat, looked and played
brand new. It was cut off when I first got there so cut
it on and play it! I guess nobody cared. So, here's where the pins are, and the list is shrinking. It's up to you to keep the games out there. Some are in rough shape, but they are playable unless otherwise noted. I have mentioned some video games in case the pins are currently being played. Note the dates of the sightings. If the dates are old, and you're traveling, you may want to call ahead the place where the pin is located to verify it's still there. If you are looking for pins on location elsewhere, check out: If you find yourself in Scotch Plains, New Jersey, check out Bowcraft Amusement Park. As of Sept. 2001, there is a Star Wars Episode 1 pin. The playfield is dirty, but the game is playable. Also, not too far is Video-Video in Morristown, New Jersey, which currently has Austin Powers, Addams Family, Medieval Madness, and many other pins in great condition. Check out this small private arcade in Karvia, Finland by clicking here and here. It's nearly all EM's and a working Baby Pac-man if you can believe that. The site isn't in English, but great pics just the same. |
