    Quoted from emkay:

    Can you elaborate on this? I've only been there once and it was on a Sunday morning so there was no vibe to speak of.

    It's been a little rough there the last few times I have gone to UP. One was a Thursday night and one was a Saturday. Like deibert described, it is not a comfortable place to play pinball. The entire place stinks of weed - which may not be a problem for everyone but it is not my thing. The narrow hallways cause people to bump into you while you are playing, especially if someone is on the redemption machines behind the pins. The screaming kids aren't a big deal to me, but I do not want to be run into while I am playing. Finding parking was a mess too. I would like to see it while it is calmer so maybe Sunday morning is the way to go. I want to know when ectobar goes so I can learn the secrets to his success!

    Quoted from emkay:

    Not the first time I've heard that particular criticism. I know it's the order of the day with the current political climate in Philly, with the DA straight up refusing to prosecute, but still... I don't get down there often but I'll certainly say something if that's the case next time I do. The place is supposed to be family friendly.

    Wanted to follow up on this. Had a chance to visit UP this morning and you were 100% right about visiting on Sunday mornings @emkay. The difference was like night and day, and a much more enjoyable experience. Sunday mornings are the way to go.

    Philly Barcade has an Iron Maiden. Metallica is out. Spent some time on it last night and it is a masterpiece.

    Quoted from ectobar:

    Saw your post and immediately went and played it. Game is really fun. I don't know much about Maiden but I know I like that game.
    Already scheming on a return visit.

    Did you get that "CPW" up on the GC yet?!

    ---

    I forgot to mention that Maiden is set at 3 tokens (75 cents a play), and the replay is pretty obtainable. I wish you could hear the machine a little bit better. I went on a slow weeknight, and it was still hard to hear over the other music playing in there.

    According to FB, Maiden has arrived at Pinball Gallery in Malvern. Glad to see it showing up around our area!

    Hey everyone - Just a quick update on Level Up Entertainment in Somers Point, NJ. The lease in our current spot was up, and we are looking to move to a more permanent location in Somers Point. In the meantime, we've moved our collection of games back over to our Hamilton Mall location in Mays Landing, NJ. This mall also features a great arcade with Starcade, so between the two spots, we probably have the most pinball machines under a NJ mall roof since the 80s! Hope to see you all soon if you stop by on your way to the shore this summer!
