This thread is slow these days, so for everyone's benefit I thought I would give an update to many of the changes going on in the local route pinball scene in the Twin Cities.

There have been some changes and a lot more coming in the local pinball scene lately. To help keep track, here is a scorecard of what has happened in the last couple weeks and what is still to come...

*White Water is back at Mortimer's in Gringo's.
*Iron Man has replaced Transformers at The Nomad.
*Monster Bash is coming to Morts (early June) replacing Wrestlemania.
*Wrestlemania is coming to Sunray (early June) replacing Johnny Mnemonic.
*Tee'd Off is coming (this weekend) to Sunray replacing Cue Ball Wizard.
*Eight Ball Deluxe is coming to Sunray (mid June).
*The new Stern pin KISS is coming to both Mortimer's and Sunray (early-mid June)

and on the downside of things...

*Brunswick Zone in Brooklyn Park has pulled all their pinball machines.
*DeLeo Bros. Pizza in Woodbury has closed pulling their pinball machines.

#7052 8 years ago

Added Tee'd Off to the lineup at East Side Pinball today. Also updated The Walking Dead to version 1.24. The new code update is pretty cool! I noticed more call outs, and lots more animations. I certainly didn't get to any wizard modes!

Awesome tony! I'd be there now but my trip to the cities has been canceled

Selling my jungle lord and waterworld. Pics and price are posted in the market.

#7058 8 years ago

That sucks about Deleo's and Brunswick! Bryson and I headed out to Deleo's every week after karate on Tuesday. I wonder what the deal was. Nathan is a nice guy. It's too bad things didn't work out for him.

#7059 8 years ago

So who has 3 other buddies and is not afraid of going into a basement for some power lifting?

milwaukee.craigslist.org link

Would love to see what this looks like. Because it is the Full Sized version obviously. So if you snatch it post some pictures

The guy is getting punked by someone, he did take the time to get back to me. Doesn't have a MM; this is the third time I have contacted someone in the MKE area with the same type of issue. The tip-off is that there isn't an option to email them.

#7063 8 years ago

Looking to buy Williams Indiana Jones. I can also add trade value on fair fish tales and great condition eight ball deluxe or just pay in cash.

I posted this in the Chicagoland thread as well, looking for a Popeye or Rock & Bullwinkle if you don't mind a FIB taking the game just across the state line.

Boot camp is a cool different idea!

#7072 8 years ago

If someone is giving pinball lessons they better stock up on Shasta and assorted deli meats.

Yeah but I wouldn't want to have my hair shaved off and have a sargent riding me and yelling in my ear.

Madison Pinball is hosting another month long tournament at our 2 locations.
Only $5 entry (100% for trophies and prizes). Play at your liesure throughout the month and take photos of high scores. Turn in all photos by the end of the month. Optional playoff at the afterparty (Free-play party) on July 10th along with awards and door prizes.
details at www.madisonpinball.com

Also, Mad Rollin Pinball only has 2 team slots remaining (out of 40 team slots total). This is the BIG annual charity event which raises money in the fight against cancer. Message me ASAP to grab one of these team slots. This is a super fun event with pingolf in the AM and team pinbrawl in the PM on August 29th. We feature ~24 solid playing (many are restored and collector quality) unique games. There are games at MRP that you will not see ANYWHERE else. The best part is that it all goes towards charity.

#7075 8 years ago

Pinball boot camp sounds awesome!

Stopped by Binary Games in West Allis, WI recently to check out their games. They have 2 pins (Creature from the Black Lagoon and Tales from the Crypt), which are both set to 50 cents for 3 balls and are both in good playing order. They have a few other arcade games, a dancing game (DDR?) and Skeeball. The main attraction seems to be the card and board games, which I saw groups of other people playing and enjoying themselves. They have a bar with booze and suds of different varieties for getting your buzz on, and a full menu of appetizers and simple bar food. I had the half nachos, which were generous in size and good tasting.

It's not really an arcade or pinball place as it's primary focus, but for what they do have, it's well kept up and in working order. The place is clean and friendly and favorably priced. I didn't see a ton of people there on a Saturday night, so it's hard to say how they are doing as a business or how long it will be around. Check it out while you can. I just happened to be in the area, checking out the hospital that I worked at many years ago. (It's a few feet away from West Allis Memorial Hospital on National Ave).

ESP Bootcamp?

I'd be happy to lend my knowledge. Workshops include:

Collecting 5M on 50M monster fish.
Power draining on Mustang. (Workshop ends before you can react.)
How to almost finish video mode level one on Johnny Mnemonic.
Out swear the South Park table like a champ.
Shaking the Klingon Empire a little too hard.
Perfecting TWD's "Exit the pop bumpers STDM" drain.

Early registrations gain entry to my special seminar - "I meant to do that, and I don't like Demo Man anyway."

See you there!

#7077 8 years ago

You and I could totally run this seminar.

16 people already signed up. Good times to be had even if you are just stopping through for a single day.

#7079 8 years ago

The quote system sure does suck now.

I was saying that 16 people are now signed up for summer slammer and some good competition already. Even if you are jsut stoppingout for the day it can be some good fun. The added factor of some friendly competition is good stuff.

Anyone have a Big Buck Hunter arcade game they are looking to sell?

MustangPaul has one for sale

To expensive for him Jim.

#7082 8 years ago

Policano has a Big Buck Hunter he is looking to get rid of. I think it is an older one in a conversion cabinet, but I am sure the price would be right.

#7083 8 years ago

KingpinGames also had a bunch of BBH Pro arcade games a couple months back. Not sure if they're all spoken for or not?

#7084 8 years ago

Yeah, I have some left. How many do you want?

Just checked in and Lincoln Pub in Waukesha (WI) has 3 different games than it had a few months ago. Right now they have TSPP, FG and RBION all set to 50 cents a game. Games seem to flip well and are in decent working shape. The beverages are wet and fairly priced. If you're lucky, locals will glance over your way and shout out friendly slogans such as "what are you making so much noise over there for?" and the like. No complaints.

A hand-printed sign on the door says they're open from 3pm until close most nights of the week.

Great updates on local places! Thanks! Will definitely check Lincoln Pub out after work one of these days.

KISS is officially set up and ready for play at Schwoegler's in Madison, WI!

Pretty fun game is the initial impression!

#7090 8 years ago

Yeah...KISS! Currently at v.92 of the code, and already it's got great music, smooth dots, fun callouts, and I really enjoyed playing it even though I only had time to put up about 3 games on it. Here's the latest lineup:

#7092 8 years ago

Anyone interested in a pair of WW's? One is a project and one is not. Combine both and you'd have a really nice WW. PM for details.

#7093 8 years ago

Played Kiss at Schwoegler's today. Kicked my ass and ate my dollars! Pretty fun game. It is just amazing and frustrating, that with the open playfield shots, I manage to hit all the post instead of the open shots. After 15-20 dollars I got 4th place . The ball coming off the tongue is putting some good dents in the playfield. I don't know what could be put down to stop it from happening. I think with code updates it could be really good.

#7094 8 years ago

Also.. on the Kiss are the flippers shorter? They looked shorter than normal.

#7095 8 years ago

There is some factory mylar down for the head kickouts but I figured we may need more.

I do not think the flippers are any shorter (or spaced wider) but I have not checked/measured.

thanks for stopping out and hope to see you on Wed at Pooleys
