Quoted from LongJohns:

I hear you, there are many arcade collectors with large collections, but no one seems to want to bring anything?

Arcades are heavy and awkward. I love em but hate to move them.

Any word of someone bringing a virtual pin?

#302 7 years ago

I'll bring my single slot neo geo conversion it's in a street fighter cab. I was hoping to get my 161 in 1 cart before then. But I do have a metal slug and a samurai showdown I guess if not.

#303 7 years ago

Dude!!!! Metal slug is awesome

#304 7 years ago

It's getting closer to the event!

#305 7 years ago

Only 37 more 4:20's to go (if dirkdiggler is counting)

#306 7 years ago

Any contributions to the show add value for sure, if you are planning on bringing anything please use the bring a machine form on the website so we know it is coming to the event.

#307 7 years ago

I'm thinking about bringing a game up. Not sure which one though.

Could bring:
* A nice players Star Gazer
* STTNG w/ LEDs, colorLCD (currently on location at the Trap & Gill in Calgary)
* Possibly a restored Flash Gordon, though I'm surprised there isn't one listed for the show already, thought they were common as flees up there...

Seems like a rarer game like Star Gazer would be better, plenty of STTNGs around in comparison. Maybe someone local can bring one for the show.

Thoughts?

Haha yea it's great! My brother and I were jamming out hard on it the other night in my garage! After I changed out a joystick.

I will sign it up for sure, just hoping the 161 in 1 cart comes before the show so that It has a little more selection atleast. If nothing else tons of metal slugs to choose from! Lol

#310 7 years ago

I like metal slug, baseball stars, and super dodgeball and 1945! On the 161! Other then that mostly it's fighting games. Lots I don't know on the list tho.

#311 7 years ago

Any of those are machines are great options we haven't had any of those titles committed to the FREE PLAY room. (Am I giving hints away again I tell ya you guys are going to get me fired)...

We definitely like rarer games at the show that people don't get to play everyday, but all are good choices we didn't have two of these at the show last year. Your choice for sure...

I'd love to try a TNG we had one out last year but it was having issues so I never got to try it.

#313 7 years ago

Star Gazer please!

#314 7 years ago

Anyone going up early from the regina area and has a trailer to haul pins? I'd donate but how would I get it there in time!?! I'm pretty sure there's one less BSD on that list anywiss! Oops!

#315 7 years ago

Hey, just wanted to check since I didn't see anything announced here but are weekend passes no longer available? The page itself says the deadline to buy is April 15 and I know the deadline for the pre order bonus was in March.

#316 7 years ago

The website said those were weekend pass pre sales tix... just have to buy one at the door! Or you can buy a pin before then and donate it Noah! That way you get to come to the VIP party too! Also noticed there was no roadshow on the list yet! RED &TED would be upset if they weren't invited!

#317 7 years ago
Quoted from pins4life33:

First machine will be announced on Saturday, hint it is already listed on the site you have a 1 in 85 chance of guessing, good luck!!!!

Ac/dc pro?

#318 7 years ago

You are correct, in fact the weekend pass we will extend this right up to the show dates if you want to purchase. However, the pre-purchase bonus did end on March 15, 2017. So if you want to purchase your weekend pass you can do so. This way you can go directly to the VIP desk for sign in and don't have to do at the door as there may be lineups for regular admission. The link should be and working again by this afternoon. We will clean up this process for next year and probably not have weekend passes available at the door these will have to be all pre-purchased if you want the discounted rate for the weekend. Sorry for the confusion.

Ok thanks for the clarification. That makes sense now! I expected in my head that we would be able to buy them online even after the pre-order bonus deadline passed.

#321 7 years ago

Thanks, much appreciated. Keep up the good work, definitely looking forward to the event!

#322 7 years ago

Wondering... If I cant end up coming, could someone pickup my " VIP free stuff" for me?

#323 7 years ago

For sure lot of Calgary guys will be there we can send to back with one of them but we would rather see you there in person to pick it up.

As would I and I still have plans to attend, loved last year's show! It just might not happen, so just checking...

#325 7 years ago

Can you sell your vip pass?

#326 7 years ago

We can transfer a pass into another person's name just send us an email. However if you had a personalized pass it cannot be changed now.

Quoted from dirkdiggler:

#327 7 years ago

Sweet. Anyone need a extra vip pass? Pm if interested.

#328 7 years ago

Well just over a month away from the big show, let's announce the very first machine for the Nitro Amusements - Western Canadian Pinball Championships. This machine is one of highest rated pinball machines of all time.

You got it Medieval Madness!!!!

#337 7 years ago

There's definitely some good ideas in those videos to work on.

#338 7 years ago

Time to announce the first machine in the DHPL Classic Tournament, who is by the way still looking for a title sponsor... The anticipation has been killing to me so let just announce it... One of the most desirable games in the classics division. Fathom

#339 7 years ago

That one looks like fun

#340 7 years ago
Quoted from pins4life33:

Out of curiosity, what would it cost to become the title sponsor? Maybe Dan will sponsor it?

#341 7 years ago

Shall we 'dive' into another announcement for the World Famous Nitro Amusements - Western Canadian Pinball Championship. The third machine is one that never gets old but is really hard to master. It is the legendary Fish Tales

#342 7 years ago

That's it! I'm calling it...

...Best Tourney Lineup Eva!

#343 7 years ago

The Canadian Arcade Classics. CAC! I like it! make-it-so (resized).jpgmake-it-so (resized).jpg

#346 7 years ago

#347 7 years ago

Any of you pinball fanatics tennis fans? Ya didn't think so, but hey I think we "aced" this pick for the DHPL Classic Tournament. For this EM you will need to bring your 'A' game. The second machine for the DHPL Classics Tournament is Volley!!!!
