[QUOTE="EccentricFlower, post: 246446, member: 5393"] Oh no, what I mean is, long after the pinball machines started to disappear, often the last table to linger (in many of the joints I visited) was Eight Ball Deluxe. Some of them were so well-played there were ball tracks on the table surface. It seemed to be the one table that people didn't want to do away with in a number of places - including outstaying a number of machines which were ten or fifteen years younger. There are two working bowling alleys in my vicinity, both candlepin because I'm in the Boston area and we're weird that way. I haven't been to one of them in a while and don't know if they still have any pinball or arcade machines left. The one I do attend does not, but that's because they converted the non-lanes space to a restaurant. The pool hall I like to go to had a pinball table - pretty sure it was EBD - but they closed for a big fire and who knows whether the table will still be there when they reopen. The only other pinball table I have seen in the wild in the last ten-plus years in the entire greater Boston area is an AFM I was delighted to find in a bar in Cambridge a few months ago. [/QUOTE]
