What do you think is the minimum needed to be called a "Pinball Alley" 3, 4, or 5 ? I think it's clear that 2 doesn't count. I've reached 3 machines myself at this point, but I'm not sure if 3 would do it? I'd think 3 does, depending on the price/value of those 3 games. What are your thoughts on it? I currently own a Start Wars home pin, (that wonderful jerk started this addiction) Godzilla Pro (with some Mods), and Labyrinth with the 3 accessories. Would this qualify as an "Pinball Alley"?

Given that a bowling alley is about 60’, I’d say about 15 machines.

I call my 5 pins a pinball parlor.

Good to know.
"I call my 5 pins a pinball parlor."

Depends on the size of the alley. 1 for some, 10 for others. 25+ for the insane.

Quoted from titanpenguin:
25+ for the insane.

You’re just misunderstood

Would it help to change that to 25+ set up, working, not in a state of repair, and not an operator?

You can call your collection anything you want.

I started with 3, and was over the moon.
But when I hit 5 In the row it looked pretty glorious.
Space Invaders
Firepower
Xenon
Vector
Paragon
Don't have a picture of that era...
I pulled Vector when i got TNA and took a picture.

So my vote is five.

No…no…you’re right the first time. I lost my sanity a long time ago but I embrace and enjoy who I am lol.

Maybe I can call my collection “the never ending story”.

That’s how I learned to play 4D chess. With cabinets, heads, and leg sets

Falcor would be better.

Alley...pins on both sides, I'd say 5 minimally each side

ME? I think anyone owning just one game has bragging rights. if they can take the glass off and change a rubber, even better
