I LOVE PINBALL! As a young boy I spent many a summer afternoon hanging out at my local 7-11; candy, comics and Slurpees - what more could a twelve year old boy ask for! I was good enough to get a free ball from friends; to help get points for a free game. This GN brought back lots of good memories - wish there were still places to go to play pinball.

Aristotle Ever since you was a young boy
You played the silver ball
Sure plays a mean pinball
You're a pinball wizard


message 2: by Jon (new) - rated it 5 stars

Jon Nakapalau Thanks Aristotle - I even remember playing that machine!


message 3: by Morris (new) - added it

Morris Great memories! I was never that good but loved the adrenaline and the sounds. Have you ever thought about getting your own machine?


message 4: by Jon (new) - rated it 5 stars

Jon Nakapalau I did Morris! But guess what - it broke down and I could not fix it! Had to sell it - but I bought it for $395 - sure I got my games out of it.


message 5: by Russ (new) - added it

Russ Don't know where you're from, but I live in a mid-sized city, and there's a variety of places to play, plus different leagues and tournaments. Have you tried the app "Pinball Map"? It will show you local spots from dedicated arcades to bars that just have 1 or 2 machines.
