[QUOTE="pinballnoob, post: 215950, member: 5593"] Edit: Oops, I meant this as a reply to invitro... I need to brush up on my forum skillz. I'm rather new to the NC area. I grew up in Mississippi, then lived in Indiana for 10 years, then South Carolina, then Canada, and now here in the Triad area. I just played my first real pinball machine in a billion years at Tweetsie Railroad amusement park outside of Boone last weekend. It was Roller Coaster Tycoon... I don't know much about real machines, but it didn't seem to play well. The top flipper didn't seem to work and the table glitched out one time. It totally thrashed me, regardless. I think I scored a whopping 2 million as my best score after 3 plays. I was there with the family of course, but I was a little disappointed with the machine. I did some looking around Winston Salem for a place to play but didn't find one. I didn't look too hard though... if you know of a good place please let me know as WS is my closest biggest location. I did look at Greensboro and saw the Something-or-another arcade that you pay to get into and the machines are all set to free play. The woman who answered the phone said they had 3 pins atm, Theater of Magic, perhaps, and the new Star Trek, I think... so I'm hoping to get over there soon. But, where I grew up... dirt roads? The town half an hour away had an arcade but Gauntlet or the sit-down xwing arcade game got most of my quarters. [/QUOTE]
