Well, no official league night for me this month. They had it the the week before and on a Saturday, where it became a Halloween party, but I couldn't make it. Usually it's on a Sunday during the day. Doesn't mean I didn't get to play some pinball for the month though! 3 of the league members have been converting a warehouse space into a private pinball club. Why private? Well, let's just say they don't have a business license. So it's invite only, where you have to know someone to get in. Well don't I feel exclusive! It's more or less a glorified man cave that is being opened to fellow pinheads. And last night was the grand opening!

Some tables were set to free play, the rest were coin drop and at varying prices. The walls have the start of what will eventually be a pretty cool environment, with old playfields, posters, and neon signs already hanging. I'm hoping to write up more about the space and the owners at some other time, but for now, here's what I played and what was there...

Scared Stiff

Monster Bash

The Addams Family

Medieval Madness

All four of these tables had the ColorDMD displays, which are awesome. I didn't play MM, but that's because it was always occupied. As you can tell, these were all LED'd out. If I'm not mistaken, I think every table there had been converted to LED.

Bram Stoker's Dracula

No Fear

Last Action Hero

Sexy Girl

My apologies about the pics, by the way. My friend took them and we weren't exactly concerned with good photography! But as SKILL_SHOT is always trying to tell me, if there's no pics, it didn't happen. Anyway, I'm not sure I'd ever played a real NF, and I know I've never played BSD. NF hated me. For as many ramps as it has, all I could seem to hit was the posts in between them. BSD on the other hand, I could seemingly do no wrong. That thing has the most generous ball save EVER! Gotta say though, I don't dig the color scheme on it. All that blue near the flippers, does nothing for me. And the Dracula toy is kinda embarrassing in how cheese ball it looks. Didn't bother playing LAH, maybe next time. Sexy Girl, for those wondering, is essentially a re-purposed Bally Playboy. This one was a new CPR playfield and backglass. In the middle of the playfield, there was a screen that would flash nudie pics of girls as you hit their targets. Nothing like a little distraction! I think the makers of it are Zarcon? Strange hybrid of new and old.
