Quoted from GroggyFrogFace:I haven't pin to a pinball show since 2011 so I think it's about time to go! Tickets bought, flight booked. Yay!
Yeah! I'll be the guy in the Pacman suit occasionally at the show if you want to say hi. --Dan
Quoted from rdleifriaf:Excellent news! I've been thinking about buying one and I'm very excited to see how it compares to the original.
@PNWPinballshow - Is there any chance Multimorphic will be there with a Weird Al kit for the P3?
No word of one yet, but there are a bunch of people planning surprise appearances for games, lotsa rumors and whispers. We hope to debut some cool stuff! If you've followed the homebrew Fight Club thread, that game will be here and it looks awesome.
2022 is the year of the 2.0 kits! They revamp older pinball games with modern hardware, programming, color displays and more. At this years show come play:
-Funhouse 2.0
-Bride of Pinbot 2.0
-Tales of the Arabian Nights 2.0
-Cactus Canyon 2.0
And… ? Well, let’s just say if things work out like we hope, there might be more!

Just to clarify (and to move away from the 2.0 labels which are driving all the programmers in the community crazy!) there will be "Conversion Kits" installed for:
Funhouse : Rudy's Nightmare
Tales of the Arabian Nights : The Forgotten Tales
No Good Gofers : Battle for the Green
...and some more surprises.

Posting for someone looking to sell a Hercules pin at or before the show. It's number 268 of 268 and in working condition. It has been at the NWPAS for the last few years. PM if you're interested and I'll give you details.
Update: Game found a new owner this evening and it will be at the show for the next few years!
If you are self-transporting games for the 2022 NWPAS:
-ALL self-transported games must be at the venue no later than 10pm on Thursday.
The NWPAS will NOT be able to accept any self-transported games that arrive on Friday. The 2022 show has the best problem, an over-capacity number of games have been volunteered for the show! Thursday night at set up we will be finalizing the floor layout and electrical, we won't be in the position to receive new games on Friday morning before the show opens to the public at noon. If you are bringing your own games, please bring them before 10pm on Thursday.
Thanks!
Just spent today moving three machines to a drop off point.
Reminder: bring your headphones (3.5mm jack) and plug into any machine of mine that has a headphone jack in the dollar bill panel. There is a switch that mutes this so if you cannot hear anything flip the switch.
I will have less machines at the show than previous years. Apologies but I am a little too busy this year to spend time preparing machines. There will however be some System 11, WPC-89 and WPC-95 favorites.
Did you drop yours off at the NW Pinball Collective? I need to drop mine there, just got back into town, wasn't sure what their timing was like. And I have 2 there to break down and get ready to go.
Quoted from nwpinball:Did you drop yours off at the NW Pinball Collective?
No. I dropped them off at a residence in south Snohomish County. Break down and wrapping is Monday.
Revision! We can accept a small amount of games Friday morning, although we prefer them Thursday. If you've already submitted them on the gamelist and can only bring them Friday, we want to honor the way things have been with past shows and be flexible for people volunteering their games. Just let me know what/when the games are and we can plan for them. Thanks everyone!
Sadly, Larry at Starship Fantasy came down with Covid and won't make the show. We wish Larry all the best in recovering!
That gives us 70 extra feet of wall space... and it looks like we will fill it with more freeplay games, our game total will be the highest it's every been.
I have a Stern Pirates that I'm selling.
One of my kids has a sports thing in Seattle next weekend so I can get it to the area and possibly to Tacoma (the logistics of coming down to Tacoma from Seattle may be sticky). We're heading up Thursday evening through Sunday afternoon, just before show closing time.
If anyone is interested let me know, I'm hoping to offload it to do a deal on another pin while I'm in Seattle.
Thanks everyone and thanks OP for permitting me to post this
And there was 13... we have officially wrapped up the 2022 NWPAS Satellite series with our 13th event last night!
We finished VERY STRONG with 62 players at our NWPAS Satellite 2022: Memorial Day Masters hosted graciously by 8-bit Arcade! Over $1,000 worth of prizes were won with lots of raffle prizes generously provided by the location and the show. Maka continued his impressive run in the satellite claiming his 2nd victory and plaque! Ashley represented the home team by failing just short of the first place to Maka in a final tie breaker. Sarah Hager, Algird Lisaius, David Chernicoff and Richie Terry all tied for 4th place. Sarah Hager and Neil Kubath won the show weekend pass and Ashley Weaver, Richie Terry, Michael Rausch, Tim McCool, David Chernicoff, Matt Anderson, Conrad Rustad and Mike Wolf won the tournament entry package.
With the Satellite series now behind us, the main event is nearly upon us!
The tournament machines have been announced and have been updated on the main page of the tournament website: http://nwpas.wapinball.net/
Make sure to check the schedule and different tournament rules before the show to decide when and what event you want to play in. We anticipate most rounds to be sold out so make sure to show up early when sign up opens for each round. This is a very popular tournament series and the Northwest has a very large and active tournament community, as well as many of the IFPA's top players.
It's about to go down!!!!
Homebrew Highlights: Brian Cox's "Any Machine" featuring Flash Gordon 2.0, KISS 2.0 and Star Trek 2.0
If you've been to past shows, you may be familiar with Brian's work with homebrew games like Jupiter Crush, Retro Spa and Tattoo Mystique. This weekend he's bringing a custom platform that can run up to 12 different games with some hardware and software swapping. The games featured will be 3 classic Bally games revamped: Flash Gordon 2.0, KISS 2.0 and Star Trek 2.0. Brian plans to swap out to a new playfield and game code every hour, so that visitors maximize their opportunity to play all three! Look for this game on the floor near the FAST Pinball booth, along with lots of other great custom homebrew games! How cool is this?!?
(More info on the BAM cabinet here: http://space-eight.com/pinball.html)
f1 (resized).jpgf2 (resized).jpgf3 (resized).jpgHomebrew Highlights: Mike Becker's "Fight Club"
It's been great following the Pinside thread for this game's development and it's come a long way with many very cool innovations and details. I have to admit, I'm a huge fan of the movie, so seeing this come together has been awesome for me. Come see it and play it in person! Video of the game in action:
fc1 (resized).jpgfc2 (resized).jpgOver the next 48 hours we will transform this space at the Greater Tacoma Convention Center into the largest arcade ever seen in the Pacific Northwest, with over 450 pinball and arcade games from the 1940s to the most current games! All the latest pinball games, tons of vintage 70s, 80s, 90s and 2000s games, possibly the most homebrew pinball games of any show, and a few surprises that we're sure will get talked about here and in other threads once the show starts.

Tipsy is a prototype Irish Pub themed ball roller game, produced by DR Game Systems. A prototype will be at FAST Pinball’s game booth where you can pre-order one from the first production batch.

https://www.youtube.com/geekgamertv/live
I'll be sharing some audio that I created over the last three years. This may be your only opportunity to hear this work.
I'm doing an "Anatomy of a Spinner" and a fairy tale about "The Little Riff That Could"
It has been six years since I gave a featured talk and I am excited and prepared.
If you are going to be at the show then come on down and say hi.
Quoted from NWPinballshow:Once a year, for one weekend, we build the largest arcade in the Pacific Northwest. Join us for one of the biggest and best shows in the country. What to expect?
-The venue is a large convention center with mega high ceilings, air conditioning and lots of space. It's attached to a brand new Marriot hotel, there is another Marriot hotel across the street and another nice hotel a block away. We have discounted rates at all these hotels.
-400+ games on freeplay the entire weekend. This is one of the highlights of our show, we bring our games for you to play and they aren't pulled from the floor early and the freeplay area doesn't have limited hours. Play all day right up until closing.
-There will be 13 regional satellite pinball tournaments leading up to the show where you hone your skills and win your way into the show in Seattle, Portland, Tacoma, Bremerton, Renton, Marysville and Edmonds.
-Show pinball tournaments include the Northwest Women's Championship, the massive Open Matchplay tournament, the Classics Pingolf, the Rookie/Amateur and the Kid's Tournament.
-Tech seminars, learn how to fix your games or improve your skills.
-Speakers and panels.
-Vendors
-Kid's Zone with games specifically designed for or aimed at kids.
-Merch, prizes and sway
-Homebrew games, rare games, new games... lots and lots of games!
Hey so legit question. Can this claim to be the largest arcade in the northwest anymore after next level pinball museum decided to make the most massive arcade ever?
Quoted from jrivelli:Hey so legit question. Can this claim to be the largest arcade in the northwest anymore after next level pinball museum decided to make the most massive arcade ever?
Next Level says they have 400+ games on their website, I think we should be a fair amount larger with close to 475. And Next Level is contributing to the count!
26 fairly rare Zaccaria and other vintage arcade games all packed and heading to the show! Zaccaria was an Italian company of pinball and arcade machines that existed in Bologna from 1974 until 1990. They both created their own games and officially licensed man classic arcade games (Frogger, Pacman, Scramble, Crazy Kong, Zaxxon) but created all new cabinet artwork and sometimes new names for the games. Their artwork is stunning. There will be quite a few Zaccaria pinball games at the show as well!
