Quoted from jasonp:

I was blessed as a kid to live about a mile away from Golf N Stuff in sunny Phoenix Az ... Just look at all those pins!!!!

I live a mile from the Golf n Stuff in Norwalk CA. (the one seen in The Karate Kid).
back in the late 70s and the 80s they always had the newest games first in the area. They were the first place I saw Xenon (two of them!) Black Knight, Black Hole, Genie, Meteor, Defender (vid), Atari Food Fight, Crystal castles, and a dedicated Major Havok. The also literally had the first three Dragons Lairs sold to operators, Now it's 90% redemption crap.

Quoted from pabloshootagain:

Hi all !!
Santiago Ciuffo, an Argentine friend, sent me this photo last week of a bag from Aladdin's Castle. He was given it by Fred, an american friend of him, who told him it was from an Aladin´s Castle from Buffalo, NY, back in the year '83. Do you remember this ?

In case you don´t know , Santiago Ciuffo is an Argentine photographer and is the author of Santiago Ciuffo's PINBALL book, an excellent book that I was fortunate to buy last year. I leave the link from pinside, in case you want more information
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/pinball-santiago-ciuffo-new-book-now-available

I remember the bags from back in the eighties, but never a red one. The ones I remember were always deep blue with gold embroidery and pull strings. I probably still have a couple, but I'll have to dig them up.
