Colorado Springs Pinball

That's a good summary. The only place with nice modern pins is Control Room. Manitou Penny Arcade gets the occasional new game, but they NEVER update software. So, it's a place mostly for playing some older games. Would just skip Supernova and the RV park.

Not to shift the topic a little, but who manages/maintains the Manitou Arcade? Back in the late 90s, that place was falling apart. When I headed out east in 2001, I wasn't expecting them to be around for another 5 years. I was surprised to see them still around when I got back.

Tommy’s pins was a Covid venture to help get through times where we couldn’t have games on.

Manitou of course has argest arcade in Colorado Springs area. But costs to park and can be a pain to find parking in summer. Pins there don't change very often re: line up and always a few or more have issues.
Control Room room has modern Pro versions Sterns and usually one JJP pin. Rarely have any the times I've been there had any issues, maybe a switch not registering, and never seen a game turned off i.e out of order. Also if you like video games they have many including some classic ones.

At control room, Foo is way out of level the lock down button is sticking. Both foo and mando are not connected to the net work bond is connected. All the games are really dirty. I’m giving them my money today but if things can’t be kept up better I’m not going to keep coming here. I appreciate their here but let’s do some more maintenance on these things.

Any recent changes in pin line up at Control Room? It is my favorite local place to play newer Sterns and they usually have a JJP pin which is awesome. Do wish Cactus Canyon Remake had been able to stay longer but sure it must not have been able to for a good reason.
Manitou Arcade is fun but don't like paying for parking and never know which games will be working and how well. Other local places I've been same is also true, games often turned off or have issues that decrease fun. The several times I've been there Control Room games I've played have been working quite well.

Usually around 7-8 pins, mostly pro editions of Sterns and have been some JJP and one Chicago Gaming Remake I'm aware of. Current JJP is a LE Godfather. Lots of classic video games pool tables and other games. If you like sports plenty of TVs, a bar and grill. Sorry if I left anything out.
Honestly I mainly go for the pins as by far best place to place newer pins in the Springs. And they will quickly fix/repair it if you them know a pin has issues.

Playing at Control Room all machines seem to be playing well. Godzilla not connected to the network, Stranger Things sling rubbers are on their last leg. It’s definitely nice to have a good line up to play on location. Wish we could get some s greats in the line up.

Awesome to see Pulp Fiction in the lineup!

FYI- venom needs the plastic on the right sling adjusted. It causes the ball to get stuck when it’s fed from the right wire form.
