Hi all !!
After much searching with friends of my adolescence (in Durazno, my hometown, 180 km from Montevideo, where I live now) , we found these pictures of the Amusement Arcade I frequented to play pinball.
This photo was achieved thanks to the person who painted the front of the amusement arcade in 1988 .
As it is seen in the image, at that time, we used to walk or cycle there, as it is a small town and everything is quite close.

This is the current image of google earth

everything changes !!!!!

In this other Amusement Arcade I have no photos of the front, but I have of the inside

In this picture . I can identify 2 machines : the first one is the Time Line ( Gottlieb ) and the second one is the Black Night ( Williams ).

I loved the Time Line, was not difficult to play and it was great fun.
It was the first of the row, I remember exactly as seen in the photo ( November 1981)
I cannot identify the other machines in this picture, if anyone can, please, go ahead!
In the following picture shows that the last one is the Flight 2000 (Stern) .
I love it and I have it in my wish list !!.
Here is the Flight 2000.

I remember in this Arcade was the Xenon (Bally), Flash Gordon (Bally), Space invaders (Bally) and others , but I think they are not in these photos .
Maybe someone can guess from the cabinet drawings Can anyone risk guessing ?
There was one pinball, I can´t remember and I'm trying to remember with other friends, it was so easy and we were leaving late at night when they closed and the next day we returned and we continued playing with the credits of the previous day.
We loved it , because, with only a quarter, we played a lot of days !! HaHa
When I remember his name I ´m going to post it.
I think it is not in these photos perhaps because it was some time after this picture was taken ( around 83-84 )

When I came to Montevideo I used to go and play here.

It was a huge place with dozens of pinball and video games. It closed a few years ago as most places in Uruguay did. The only places where a pinball remains is in one of the "molls"
I'll be waiting for your comments and your pictures.
I hope you like the idea of ​​this topic

Thanks a lot dothedoo !! You´re right with Meteor, is next to the Flight 2000, but I was looking for pictures of Firepower and the next is very similar but is not the Firepower (look closely, the drawings of the backbox)

firepower_R_(resized).jpg

firepower_L_(resized).jpg

is very very similar, but it isn´t , the original photo ends in a spike or peak (I do not know how to say it)
In this picture you can see very good the left side of the cabinet and the backbox and it looks different. What do you think ?
IMG-20160525-WA0000-1-1_(resized).jpg

Yes , is the Blackout , now I remember there was one in this arcade.
And recently , to look very closely the third pinball, next to Black Night, is the Alien Poker.
Look on the playfield the four white pop bumpers and the white drop targets

I need to know only one, the red one that is between the Alien Poker and the Blackout
Thanks lot !!

yes !!! you already answered me while I was writing , sorry, I'm too slow with my English. yes my friend, you are right, the red one is the scorpion !!! Thanks a lot !!

Here we are with my girlfriend at that time, Verónica , who is now my wife.
It was on vacation at the beach in the summer of 93, she is playing Pac-Man.

Hi !! Sorry my friend, I had not understood you. That photo got off the internet just to show to dothedoo the drawings of the backbox to define which pinball was in my old pics.

Wonderful pictures my friend , thanks for sharing and for your time.

I guess that picture could bring you many memories and nostalgia. Thanks for sharing

I'll try to help you in the search

Those pictures are a treasure. congratulations and keep them well. You do not know how hard it was for me to find some pictures to this topic !!

Hey young man, really you impressed me with your knowledge. I know, for others message in other topics, you have only 18 , is it true ???
It is hard to believe that someone so young, know much of pinballs, congratulations anyway !!
I am very happy that a young man participates in this topic.
Try to get some pictures to share with us , thanks !!

Did you mean the Aladdin's Castle ?, the arcade that was in College Mall across from Radio Shack

I have a friend from here who lived in Ellettsville, or something like that, years ago, and he knew the arcade.
Yesterday I asked him about the place.
He told me that he will look if he has pictures. He now lives in Brasil

Wow !!!

You could make a photo exhibition of arcades !!

sweet sounds !! I love the videogame williams Defender

Excuse me, but I have a question :
to post a video should be just from youtube or can I do it differently ?

Hello you were right, my friend was looking for pictures of that time and has no idea where they could have been, because he thinks that may have lost among so many changes, since he lived in, Fort Lauderdale, New Jersey and now in Brazil.
Apologies for the illusion that, perhaps, I caused you.

Haha, yes man you are right !! and may be you are very young and belong to the generation of Xbox ...

Wow !! beautiful pics , thanks for sharing
I used to wear this type of clothing on friday and saturday night in the early 80's !!! Haha

That sad news.
I am emotioned that you chose this topic to remember him that way.
I think the best way to remember and honor it is to continue with his work and do it honestly.
And you do !!, all customers spoke highly of you
I like your pics, especially the third !!
Excuse me if my english is not good, It's a bit difficult, for me, to find good words in this situation.
Best for you

Hey buddy, 1.600 photos ??? Don't be lazy , do it !! I think you are the man !!

Don´t forget !! It would be a great contribution from you to this topic

Yes !! , try copy and paste only some of them. It could be great !!

Yes my friend you are right !
Yes, that was the goal of this thread, try to revive those good times.
I'm glad you like it, more photos will come....

Haha, you have a sweet profile photo.
I think in that picture you were flying to Jupiter !!!
In a while I'll see your FB, thanks a lot for your time

You have been a great contributor in this thread as well as other pinsiders. Thanks to all of you !!

Hi guys !! Today a virtual good friend, ( because I have only spoken with him by telephone and by Fb), sent me these photos of his arcade that closed about 15 years ago.
That place was in my country , Uruguay, in the department of Canelones in the city of " Sauce " at a distance of approximately a little more than 20 miles. It is a typical place of the interior of my country with good and simple people.
He also sent me a video but I have to find a way to upload it
The arcade was called "Kapica video games"

Hello folks !! I would like to wish all of you a very happy new year !!. To all of you that in one way or another collaborated in this topic that was very entertaining and funny, at least for me , and I hope the photos keep coming.
I keep looking for photos in my little big country
Sorry for my prehistoric English

And remember: be careful if you are going to drink do not drive !!

Waiting for 2017 with my family !!
Pinball is not played tonight , next year !!!
IMG_20161231_203918 (resized).jpg

Here it is quite common, if you visit uruguay, you are invited, just let me know a little before !!
Pinsiders : Don´t come all at once !!
Happy new year !!

Hi Winston !! Thank you very much for your words and your initiative so that people who know NY help me to know the fantastic places that this great city has.
The classic tourist places are well known by all, but the beautiful places that are not touristy are difficult to find.
I will be waiting for you and your future wife this 2017 !!

You are very sharp-sighted !! You had already demonstrated here, in another post , a few months ago.
Congratulations buddy.

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 ?
IMG_3562 S (resized).JPG
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

Thanks for the data !!, I really don't know, I just told what they told me. Maybe they had different color in different places, this one was from Buffalo. Maybe someone has more data. Try to dig up them !! Thanks again

Hello everyone !!, yesterday, César Dlutoski, an Argentinian friend from a facebook group sent me pictures of one of the Amusement Arcade that his family owned in Argentina, in the city of Pergamino, 140 miles north of Buenos Aires. The amusement arcade was called "Singapur " and was opened in the 80´s.

César, thank you very much for these photos !!

I would have been at a disadvantage, I think I would still be repeating in primary school !!! Haha

Congratulations for your arcade, it looks fantastic !! It is in my future to know Montevideo in Minnesota ( near Hopkins)
and from there I would surely will go to
ssbilliards.
I leave the link in case there are pinsiders who don't know it. It's seems too cute to not to know it

Hello guys !! My friend César found a couple of photos from his aunt's arcade called Singapur. The interesting thing about the photo is if you can guess what pinballs are. There are 3.
I could not, but Cesar gave me the answers!
Is not easy !!

Perfect, although the most difficult is the one in the middle. I give you a clue ... It's not made in USA !! It was made in Europe

Hi !! thanks Lloyd for always being around here.
No, the pinball is made in Spain. It's called "Flipper Game". Made by Recel in 1980. It was really hard to guess it.
César sent me other photos
