Museum of Pinball

I would guess FarSight is the 10K backer

lol no, they just backed it today and the amount hasn't gone up much since yesterday.

The 10K backer has been there since day 1. As for the games list, here's the link...

I found this list from MoP's KS page, also accessible from their website via "About the Museum" -> "Our Collection."

Thanks. Damn, I hope this Kickstarter succeeds. I'm going to contribute in the next few days. This will probably turn out to be a vacation spot for many people.

Hey guys! Thanks for all your interest. We're slooooooowly climbing, but we need everyone's help to make this dream become reality. YES, we are at California Extreme spreading the word. If you're in town, stop by and say "hello." We'll even let you play "Voltan Escapes Cosmic Doom" in our booth!

I'll probably never get to see the place, but might pledge to get one of those shirts!

I am in the process of leaving palm desert to Boston. I honestly hated every second of living out there. If this place had been open, it might have made life semi-livable. I will definitely pledge to the kick starter and I will be back to California regularly but so disappointed in the timing!

We've hit the 10% mark, and we have 25 days left! If this DREAM is going to become a REALITY, we need everyone's help. Every dollar makes a difference. Would you consider becoming a backer on Kickstarter?

I'm totally in on this. It's only 6 hours away from me... I'll be there.

Welcome to the forum! Great project you have going, I will be backing it despite living in Denver!

$150,000? Don't think it's going to happen unless someone rich like Bill Gates donates a bunch of money.
Looks like a great location though. Is there a plan B?

 

[shutyertrap]

Plan B is raise the money some other way. Molly from Pins & Needles game them some great ideas that they might run with. There's a whole thread about it over on pinside.

 

[Vyrastas]

Hopefully they can find the money if the Kickstarter doesn't succeed (it's not looking good, sadly)... I'd love to check this place out.

David, I wish you could have built it in my little city called Punta Gorda, in Southwest Florida. We really need something like this badly, I still say if I ever win the powerball (Which is highly unlikely) I would build something like this. I would also have a room full of the best older and newer video games as well, along with a couple pool tables, air hockey tables, and a few vending machines for their food. But in the meantime I will be happy with my Playstation 4 when it comes out, we'll talk to you all later.

No, no, no. I would want to make it to work instead of taking a detour to play the tables all day. With only one or two tables in the town to play, I wonder how popular pinball is here anyways?
