I'm there all weekend, it is my mini-vacation. Hopefully will be good this year, been too long.

My wife and I are also making a mini vacation out of it. We are excitingly going all three days this year instead of just one day.

Trying to figure out what games to bring

It has been a great mini-vacation for a number of years. Was really looking forward to it earlier in the year but we decided it’s still too soon to go back to pinball shows so my Marriott points are safe.

The beer tasting component sounds interesting - looking forward to reading about experiences.

I'm planning to go. Looking forward to it after missing out last year!

I'm going and likely bringing Stern Spiderman, which will be for sale unless I sell it between now and the show. Fun game but haven't had a change in my pinball lineup for the past few years.
Would like to also sell Theatre of Magic. Unsure if I can get both pins in van so prefer to sell it from home in Colorado Slrings.

Wife and I will be there Friday and Saturday. Been to long for sure!

Sad I might have to miss the whole thing again this year... Or is anyone offering daycare during the show

The festival is going to be a great time this year. It will be nice to see everyone after what seems like forever. We want to thank the community for everything you! There is no festival without you!

We do still have some rooms available. The block link is on the website.

Here are a few of the awesome new things we have this year:

Halloween Monster Bash party with the lights out and a costume contest
Great Speakers
Great Vendors
Horrorhouse Fest

Rare Pinball and Arcade Games

Trivia
Board Gaming

Wife asked that I sell or trafe Theatre before or during the show weeknd and that we keep Spiderman until the end of the year and when the holidays are over. So sorry, taking it off the for sale listings. Looking forward to the first Denver show since May 2019. Hope to come home with a new (to me) pin.

A Friend and I are coming out for most of the 3 days. We hope to be at the Flea Market on Sunday. I am bringing lots of old EM parts and such removed from old machines. Cleaning house per say. Hope to see others there.

Anyone know if JJ/Game Exchange might have a Godzilla premium or LE at the show? Or if someone else might by chance?

Can't wait❗
We're excited, but only going to be able to make the Show for Friday & Saturday, leaving Sunday morning.
Looking to find a HUO Jurassic Park Premium, have a HUO Led Zeppelin Premium with a few MOD's to trade or can do CA$H.

We're driving so if you're interested PLMK as I can bring the LZ-Premium with us.

I'm looking forward to it!

I'm going to bring my Meteor with DickHamill 's new code.

I'm also bringing a bunch of vids including my collection of Bally Sente games. CAX used to do a "Sente Reunion" and I wanted to do something similar.

Even made a flyer for it:

Will be there with my Rollergames!

Will Marco be there this year? I’m going Friday night! Looking forward to pinball and beer! Hell yea! Love seeing all the pins. I haven’t been for about three years now. Really looking forward to it!!!

Anybody know what days and hours if your bringing a game? Does it have to be there by Thursday or can it be brought on Friday?

https://www.pinballshowdown.com/index.html best ask them. Contact them near bottom of website.

LTG : )

I did and no response yet.

Interested to know what games anyone reading this will be selling this weekend at the show. I was going to haul and post for sale my Stern Spiderman there. Then wife asked me please not to sell it yet and need to respect that.
As always looking forward to playing many pins and socializing. Especially since this is the first Denver show in almost 2 years per Covid.

FRIDAY, Oct 22
Load-in/Set-up Hours 8 am - 11 am
Public Hours noon - 10 pm
Bring-A-Game Hours 10 pm - Midnight

Anyone have pics?

Fun weekend socializing and playing many pins and enjoying the festival. Thanks to Blizzard Mountain, GEX and other companies and individuals that brought pins.

Only complaint was if they feel the need to have a Concert please take it outside like on Friday. DJ and music drowned out sounds of pins and trying to talk with anyone. Actually caused painful ears and my entire family and others were complaining it was awfully loud.

Thanks to all who ran the Show, volunteered, brought games and worked to make it all happen!

Maybe its time to bump this thread and get a little showdown buzz going. Ready to maybe make it out more than one day this year!

It will be coming up quick after Dory Hill.

Which games are you planning on bringing?

Not sure, if I can make it out all weekend (between the 19 and 21 show I had a kid so pinball time is just now getting back to normalish) I will bring stuff. In 19 I had Paragon, Metallica, F14, and Indy 500. In 18 I had nba fast break and demolition man.

This year would probably be eight ball deluxe plus something else but not sure yet.

If I recall correctly I played a lot of your meteor last year. One of the show highlights for me.

I was able to get my ear surgery rescheduled for after the showdown so I’ll be able to bring my games again this year. Looking forward to it!

I'm bringing my Bally SENTE Arcade collection to the Rocky Mountain Gameroom Expo again this year. Including the rarely seen Stompin'.

Looking forward to seeing everyone again this year. I'll be there all weekend stop by and say hi!

I plan on being there Sunday.

First game up from the basement.

My gosh feels like everything 10th game is Avengers. Didn't realize it's that popular. Nice to see JJP Guns N' Roses which I hadn't played before, several JJP games, but disappointed Elvira Stern isn't on floor and of course not possible to have every favorite set of pins. Still many nice game and thanks to everyone who brought one and is helping with the show.

Thanks!

That Omega Race Cockpit is a special one for me, I picked it up August 2021 completely gutted and half painted blue. It still needs a few minor details finished but its such a great way to play that game.

Bump?

I'm glad its going to be a bit earlier this year. And glad to have gotten the notice of when super early.

Not sure if I'll be bringing as much this year but I will for sure be bringing games.

I missed last year. I do plan on attending on Sunday this year.

We didn't make it last year but the whole family will be coming this year. We will be there Friday and some of Saturday. Gotta rep for the Wyoming pinheads!!

Hi all - I'm looking forward to being there on Saturday this year. Does anyone know how machines for sale are handled? I know owners can announce they are for sell if set up to play, but what about those that aren't working or not set up? Is there an area or time? Thanks - I have the itch to buy another pin.

I wasn't able to attend last year, but will be there all weekend this year. I am so hyped right now! This convention is one of the things I look forward to the most all year round!

If anyone is on the fence about bringing games, I’m going to have room in the uhaul so if anyone in the metro area has machines they want to bring and wants to use transport space shoot me a message!
