[QUOTE="The loafer, post: 105831, member: 1434"] Sorry for the off topic folks but this is a great side step in memory lane: The Rideau street "circuit" was one of the best in Ottawa. There was a Rideau Arcade near the corner you are mentioning (about a block away), under the Hayloft restaurant. That's where I "mastered" (;)) my first pinball game: Superman. There was another large arcade near Rideau and Dalhousie, I think it too was called "Rideau Arcade". There was another off the corner called "King Arthur's Court" but it was pretty small but had some great games (and a Crazy Kong DK clone eheh). Closer to the corner of Rideau/Sussex, there was another Rideau Arcade there, though it didn't last long BUT I did pop in one day, saw the Arcade operator having a little too much fun with his girlfriend and booked right out. I think it closed down the next month LOL There was also another near the corner you referred to, I think it was more of a pool place, it was across the street (maybe next block) from the old Nelson theatre. By far though, I thought the Rideau Arcade under the Hayloft restaurant had the most pinball game. I don't know if it was upwards to 80 but they were in fine shape and they had the top games of the era. Typical day there was work at the Burger King on the corner of George/Dalhousie, leave work, visit the arcade on Dalhousie (Rideau Arcade, great arcade games, very few pins), then move on over to the King Arthur's Court, then to the Rideau Arcade under the Hayloft, leave a few credits in Superman pinball to some kid, pop over to the "Gameroom" next to Nates, then head on home. If it was the weekend, then hitting "the Midway" on Bank and MAYBE hit the Empire Arcade next to Barrymore. Oh sweet times :) Ok, enough off topic (full apologies), I've played some more of Zaccaria of late and I'm really liking it. I do hope we see some of the existing tables change the lockbar textures which IMHO is the only real eye sore in the entire package. The rest of the art assets are at the very least "acceptable" to simply outstanding! Considering Halloween is coming up, Spooky seems a natural to me. :) Rob [/QUOTE]
