Quoted from tonymiddendorf:It's really fun. You've got the option to gamble some of your rewards for a double-or-nothing shot. The rules are not complicated. Nice party game that's easy to understand.
I got it too sitting next to my Bride. Great game and very fast.

Quoted from jonogo:Anyone Local-ish have a line on an A.P.B (All Points Bulletin) Atari arcade game? I'm looking to add one to my arcade since I sold my Outrun. I'd like to get one local for a reasonable price. Willing to drive a ways for the right deal
My buddy has one. Great game.
Quoted from Jediturtle:In order to keep my wishy-washiness in full bloom, I've decided I can't go though with selling my ST:TNG. I just know I'd regret it. As much as I want a new Stern Star Trek, I'll wait until I can afford it by a different means. Maybe a year down the road I'll be able to pick up a HUO premium or LE. As much as I'd like to be one of the first to bust one out of a box, I just can't.
Good call, just how nice will your game room look with the new Star Trek next to your STTNG.

I wanted to remind anyone on Facebook to join the Midwest Arcade and Pinball Collectors group. A few leads have been posted and a great group of guys.
Quoted from roffels:The owners at Rusty Quarters seemed nice enough, but they seemed to have issues with just opening at their posted hours.
I feel bad for the folks that donated. Yikes.
Sounds right. You should see some of the owners rants and complete disreguard for advice on KLOV. The guy is banned now from KLOV so that should tell you something.
Quoted from MnHotRod:I'm in for 2014. Would be nice to have six or seven volunteers though so we can take a break from the action.
I will be there. I may drop you a line closer to the event.

You gents probably saw this...

I'm willing to bring to you if a good trade is on the table.
Quoted from RustyLizard:Hi. Make your reservations for MGC in April. We will break you in then.
Lol, me and buddy are planning here soon. Welcome to the community. Those WI guys are the best.
Quoted from lordloss:Did anyone offer up a nice trade for your jackbot yet?
Yes, a very exciting trade that I can't wait to start working on. My son does miss the SF2 but I think all my kids will like this new one.
Quoted from jonogo:Not sure how thats fixed.... and I'm a bit more scared then when I normally interact with you. That settles it, I'm bringing my tazer to MGC.
While your at it, bring your Bad Cats too.
Quoted from jonogo:10 million Euros and its yours.
That's $13655997.24. Tempting. Thanks Siri.
Looking to buy a pinball machine first week of January in Minne MN. Let me know what you have. Not looking on anything 3k or more.

CANCEL THIS! Found a theme for my kids. Update this weekend.
Quoted from haunted1:Awesome man, love hearing about people keeping their kids involved.
Well my "kids" would LOVE a Monster Bash. Lol, I got a pin that was at my childhood campground so I am stoked too. I don't want to jinx it so details will come.

Quoted from Whysnow:sounds like it is time to start the "what are you bringing to MGC thread"? Who takes the honors? Rusty, is that your thing?
I was just about to do it but whomever did it last year did a good job of keeping track. I dont know if I have that type of attention to detail or the patients.
Quoted from jonogo:TAX Time! Do I pay off debt or get a new pin... Or maybe work some mega trade up deal! hmmmmmm decisions..
I'm asking myself same question. On the hunt for a Bad Cats or Time Machine maybe unless its mad money.
Quoted from lordloss:I might be selling my street fighter, but its not worth $1.5k
What!?!?
I will be in Minneapolis tomorrow night. The guys I am going with on the fishing trip are going to a club called Aqua. I want to find a barcade close to that. Any help? Pinball Map isnt helping me.
Quoted from MustangPaul:Where in MPLS?
I think its on the northwest side of down town, 1 block form 394. Its on 1st Ave North. I really dont want to goto a dance club.
Quoted from guyincognito:The place that used to be called "Insert Coins" is on that same street (1st Ave) and only down 1 or 2 blocks North.

I can't verify if they're still open or if the games are still there because I've never been inside.
Here is the new website (and name) -- http://www.thevenuempls.com/
This information is probably too late, and Lloyd had the better offer.
I went to Morty's. We didnt stay out late because 1 of our friends couldn't behave so we went back home and played cards. Lake Mill Sac was a blast again this year. 2 people fell into the iceholes, 1 cell phone dropped in, 2 guys got sharpie'd, someone got to sleep with a fish, and played ice football.

Quoted from MustangPaul:Did anyone see a MACH 3 in the arcade hall? Has anyone ever seen one there in the past?

Quoted from isJ:Wondering if anybody has a Theatre of Magic in the metro area? My wife really liked the game a lot, and I want to sit down and play one / converse with an owner about it. Can anybody help out?
I think there is a search feature somewhere, but I can't find it.
Pinball Map app and I think website. I use it when I am out and about.
Quoted from isJ:All the map seems to do is list people (and I don't want to click the 300 icons in the area), and list locations with games.
What am I missing?
You looking at the map on Pinside? The "Pinball Map" app goes by region and locations. You can even search pin title and find the nearest location. The website doesnt show a Minneapolis region so it might only be on the app. I use the app not the website.

Quoted from lordloss:I didn't want to jinx it, but i'm picking one up on Sat with Jim.
And will offer up the SF2 back to me? My son is still a little pissed.
Quoted from lordloss:I think I could get that back to you. I want one back as well someday, once I have room for more than 1-2 pins in a real house.
Drop me a line on the new price and I will see what I can pull. Daughter got good grades so some of my funds are going towards her reward.
Quoted from lordloss:I'll talk to him and see what I can do.
OH, I didnt know you sold it. If he wants to sell it just let me know. No need to press him on it.

Quoted from lordloss:Sioux Center Iowa, with the Interstates construction. The job has 35% travel, so i'm hoping to find some good deals on pinball during my travels.

Wow, you're in the middle of nowhere.

Quoted from LesManley:I think we are very lucky here. More lucky than people really realize and appreciate. It could easily be the opposite like it is in so many other areas.
You guys up there are very lucky. Best place we can go has 4 routed to #$%# pins in Iowa City. No party, no get together, just show up and hope for no issues with the games.
Quoted from TheBrewhouse:What about Up Down in Des Moines? I enjoy that place. They have 8 pins plus a ton of arcade machines.
I'm not driving 2.5 hrs to play pins. I would like to drink.
