[QUOTE="wilbers, post: 280976, member: 7432"] Had a nice day. One thing I didn't think of before I got there is when there is 1 pinball machine its easy to hear, same likely applies if you have a cluster of 4 pinball machines. Scaled up to 50 all being played at once, and its hard to hear the one you are playing. 10 of them were in smaller room "pinball through the ages" - a wooden one, right through to Dialed In (not sure if very modern machines have a different glass, when I first saw it, it looked like the glass wasn't even there) - still no idea how that is supposed to work, I just hit random things and the table changed colour, and I triggered the phone a couple of times. One thing that was telling near the end of the day is that they were nearly all played nearly continuously, but there was a gap where the 3 Zaccaria machines were - guess everyone else was like me, have 1 or 2 games on each and then leave them in favour of the others. Got to play Indy, Star Trek, Star Wars, and many others; missed out on Addams Family and Attack from Mars though. Ended up playing for about 5 hours - had 2 hours before lunch, then had 2 sessions in the afternoon with a break in between for the chap that ran Commodore UK and a quick look around the rest of the expo. Missed out on the VR section though - I'll have to try that sometime. Also found out that they had had a similar event in Blackpool in March, so looks like its twice a year rather than an annual event, just with some variation as to what is at each one. The Who dunnit machine had a fault and launched 2 balls at once - never did work out how to start playing it properly. [/QUOTE]
