[QUOTE="neglectoid, post: 118321, member: 1292"] i live in colorado springs, colorado. in the late 80's thru the late 90's there were tons of machines here. id guess about 2/3rds of the bars had at least one table in them, most of them had 2 or 3. it was awesome, not only were there tables galore, they maintained them regularly. and if something major was broken on the table, there was a little card on the apron of the machine that had the vendors name and number that you could call and most of them would have the problem fixed in a couple of days. sometimes (when im real drunk) just thinking about what we had, it makes me cry, because deep down, i know our town will never care about pinball again. but those halcyon days are gone now. other than a penny arcade that has about 30-40 em's (mostly in horrible condition) there are very few machines here. id guess we have about a dozen pins (out of a city that has nearly 500,000 population if you include the subburbs around us.) it's really pathetic and truly saddening. however denver, which is about 60 miles away has probably close to 200 machines and they for the most part regularly maintained. if i didnt love this town so much, id pick up and move there. a couple of years ago i spent a weekend in denver and did a pinball crawl in the downtown area and had the time of my life. as far as the OP, where did they go? i have no clue, but they will still live on forever in my memory.
