[QUOTE="smbhax, post: 114264, member: 396"] Nice! I keep playing MM fairly regularly but I've yet to feel like I've really cracked that nut. What I did tonight: The Add-A-Ball pinbar in Seattle's Fremont neighborhood recently expanded into the area next door, adding a big new room to their existing three room layout filled with pinball, classic arcade machines, and beer. The near end of the big room boasts a gigantic mural painting of Kurt Russell...hm dang I guess I was too dazzled to remember to take a photo of it, come to think of it. Anyway it's neat. The far end has an all-star line-up of pinball machines: Stars (pretty much the best little pinball game ever), Star Trek: The Next Generation modified with a color DMD screen, and an Attack from Mars--although this was promptly taken offline after I got in there. :P Filling one side of the length of the room is the single most impressive row of pinball machines I've ever seen in person: all five Bally widebody machines, in pretty much immaculate condition: [img]http://smbhax.com/stuff/131112_addaball_1_bally_widebodies.jpg[/img] Fantasy table Paragon was by far the most popular, but I think I had the most fun hitting the chain-reacting middle three captive balls to light up the inner birthing chamber on Embryon next to it: [img]http://smbhax.com/stuff/131112_addaball_2_paragon_embryon.jpg[/img] Space Invaders, with its bizarre Geiger-esque art not going at all well with its awful Space Invaders arcade sound effects: [img]http://smbhax.com/stuff/131112_addaball_3_space_invaders.jpg[/img] Future Spa, an old favorite of mine, and the thematic odd man out, the bright, ski-filled Hot Doggin': [img]http://smbhax.com/stuff/131112_addaball_4_future_spa_hot_doggin.jpg[/img] You can just see Attack from Mars across the way there, before it was shut down for maintenance. At the end of the night we finally got a chance to play doubles on Paragon; I didn't have enough quarters left for another game but we got a Match! and I had enough for the other credit, and on this second try I spelled all the letters in P-A-R-A-G-O-N!
