I had the pleasure of stopping by the Roanoke Pinball Museum on Thursday with my family. I can't say enough about how great it was to meet Nic and play the great games they had. My wife and kids had a blast playing the games with World Cup Soccer and Jokerz being my wife's favourites (it looks like we are on the hunt to purchase one of these games for our future game room, along with another game for the kids). We were there for hours and I still didn't get to play all the games I wanted to. It looks like a return trip to the museum is in order if I pass through Virginia again.
Nic and the staff were amazing to talk to and it was a great pleasure meeting Aimee as well. I would like to thank Nic for taking the time for our conversation and the pinball repair tips, which will definitely come in handy for me. You would never know Nic had been working so hard over the past months and was exhausted as he was all smiles and had an obvious passion for the games. The EM games from his personal collection are absolutely amazing and were worth the price of admission alone.
On a side note, I also wanted to mention how nice Virginia was, specifically the downtown area where the museum is located. We stayed at the beautiful Hotel Roanoke and Conference Center, and it was a very nice hotel that I would definitely recommend, and it was only a two minute walk from the museum.
Thanks again Nic, I think you have converted my entire family into pinball fans.
Dave
