[QUOTE="Striker, post: 287028, member: 6694"] Get a Big Lebowski pin in it and I’ll come running. ;) Every successful arcade nowadays seems to keep the doors open by seving alcohol. The Cidercade in Dallas is a good example. Most pins are in good shape. Pinball Pete’s in Ann Arbor seems to be the exception. It has a great location and tradition. The new pins are well-maintained and set up at tournament play or close to it. Four quarters for a game and it goes fast. Some older pins are in bad shape. Addams Family would record a drain when the ball is still in play. On South Park the ball would always get stuck on Kenny. Weak flippers on Indiana Jones made the pin unplayable. But most customers didn’t play pinball. They mostly played air hockey or shoot-em-ups. Or Galaga, the undisputed arcade moneymaker of all time. [/QUOTE]
