Space Shuttle flakey display was fixed today. I also disassembled and reassembled Rudy so he is more willing to let you stich your balls in his mouth.

Please message me personally or contact me via the phone number, email, or QRcode on the cards when you notice issues. We will do our best to address ASAP (aside form this weekend when we will be at MGC

A little over 1 week and things seem to be going well. A few small issues (as expected) but more importantly it appears the games are getting some play. Per the owner/bar manager he sees 1 or 2 people that appear to have only come in for the pinball!

If you stop by, please make it a point to let the staff know you are excited to see pins there and hope they bring more I am hoping this takes off enough that they will provide space for a few more. Would be great to have a location with 6-10 pins!

not as good as a re-themed Sharky's shootout!

Was just out doing a quick freshen up on the games and to fix the left outlane guide on TAF as it had been pushed into the pf and was sitting a little low from ball hits.

Everything is flipping well. I left a few credits on the games for whoever drops out.

thumbs up for families playing, not for funhouse parting

We'll get Rudy coaxed into letting us all put our balls in his mouth, no need to take the sledgehammer to that creepy SOB just yet.

odd. It really seemed like a mechanical issue to me. At least with his mouth open there is little functionality lost while we get it squared away.

I am waiting for my pinballlife order but hope to get rollergames torn down and rebuilt soon. It will be a good backup in case we need to pull out rudy to work on him at home for a week or 2.

That is how I like it to work in an ideal situation. Random credits left every so often in the hopes that someone will come in and be pleasantly surprised. Maybe make a new pinhead out of a little kid???

Makes me feel even better if one of the families methos mentioned got them and were stoked.

When I was in the other day playing ST along with Heidi there was a little boy and his sister and they were trying to figure out how each game worked. The first few games they did not even realize where the start button was, but after a few the little girl was using individual flippers and telling her brother how it 'worked'. They had not quite figured it out but it was cool to see them learning and at least thinking about it.

and I am thankful you put coins in them.

Gene and I may head over after work on Wednesday to play a few games? He said he needs practice before next months tourney.

I am going to play after work today and will check with them. I will ask them to update their website accordingly.

doh, completely spaced on asking them what their official hours are...

Games were all playing flawlessly yesterday. I managed to have a nice game on STpro and put up 60ish. I think it is the number 2 spot?

I also now have the #2 and #4 on FH. Ian better watch out as I will be knocking off that grand champ spot soon...

I am guessing most people play 3 for $2 on both TAF and STpro? We have not done a coin count but needless to say we are not coming out to attend to jammed coin slots because the boxes are full Rob told me some fun stories of the 90s when he was servicing a route and they had to go out twice per week to empty the full coin boxes> WOW!

From glancing in the boxes I think all the games are getting played a similar amount and my best guess is that mainly the local players are the ones coming in along with a handful of more casual players each day.

I am hoping things see an uptick as word spreads among the local players and the monthly event gets off the ground. I would also expect things to be a little slow for the summer months?

A few guys I have not seen before mentioned the idea of holding their own regular 'league night' which I would be all for. I am really enjoying having a new place to play nice games, granted it does feel odd to put money in my own TAF. I spend most of my time on the other 3 since I do not know they full rulesets or best scoring strategy on all of them yet. I spent most of yesterday just drilling down into each seperate mode of ST to the I, II, III level to see if one was more lucrative for points. I am really digging that game.

It is just plain fun to shoot and hopefully new code will really help to increase the long term fun factor>> I can only assume it will.

Drilling down is way more fun than completing the whole triangle but they need relative rewards for completing 3 deep to match the 3 in a row.

I think i already beat DAD score, but not Ian?

Still waiting to see someone put up a score on TAF.

Heading over around 5pm today to play a few games and try for a few high scores if anyone wants to join GeneO and I.

They all kicked my butt today and I left defeated. I think I played 7 games on STpro, had one 36mil and the other 6 all less than 7 mil. I was just not feeling pinball tonight. Hopefully you fair better.

happens to me almost every time Tmac , LOL.

Glad you enjoyed it Zen and thanks for stopping in!

I have been known to ocassinally trap a ball and let the mansion time through modes just to get a better sense of accomplishment.

Reminder that Next Wednesday, 14 May 6:30pm is teh 2nd monthly event at Pooley's

Stop on out and have some fun while picking up some IFPA points.

Tommorrow at 6:30.

Be there or be square.
