[QUOTE="Crawley, post: 145321, member: 2300"] There's a few barcades in Chicago where the pins are set to free to play: Emporium Arcade Bar and Headquarters Beercade I haven't been to either yet as they're bit of out the way to get to them. If you're in the subburbs I just read about Underground Retrocade which is $15 all day (pins: Buck Rogers, Fire, Xenon, Black Knight, Space Shuttle). There used to be about 20+ pins at Enchanted Castle in Lombard but they recently got rid of them all since no one was playing - consequently it made it awesome to play there on the weekends since you pretty much had all the pins to your self. If you're up for a trip then you might check out [url]http://vfwpinball.com/[/url] (MI) which is only open to the public a few times a year. They are selling a limited number of tickets to cut down on overcrowding and to make sure everyone has a chance to play. May 16-18th is their first public showing. And you just missed the Midwest Gaming Classic (WI) where you can get an additional $15 ticket to the Tom Taylor pinball warehouse which has like 300 pins, most of them EMs or early SS - some 90's ones too, set free to play. You would probably get a kick out of that one: [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6qfJHjKMP4[/url]. The Midwest Gaming Classic is pretty fantastic for pin play too - this year in particular as they moved the arcade hall in to a larger room and filled it up with pins. More pins than the previous year and way more than what I found at the Chicago Expo. I'm hoping next year will be as good. [/QUOTE]
