So my family likes me to take them on "day trips" to play pinball. Last weekend we took off to play at a location we'd never been to. The games were in such poor condition, that I've been struggling NOT to post a poor review to warn folks to keep an open mind about the condition of what they will see.
Glaring issues were:
Machines with absolutely no GI had floor lamps positioned between them so you could see the ball. This includes WOZ believe it or not.
Most every EM had flippers so weak there was no way you could get the ball back to the top of the playfield. Many early SS games had the same issue.
Data Easy games glitched out unplayable during the first ball .
And on and on. It was rampant.
We paid $12.00 each to "play all day" - yet left in less than an hour frustrated by the poor game play. We approached the operator and gingerly asked about a couple of these issues, but were explained to (like we were nubes) that what we were seeing "doesn't affect game play".
Yeah right. I've wanted to post a warning to other players on Google but haven't done so.
Your thoughts?
