    I feel your pain, it’s just hit or miss. Even at same location. Near me is a bar that has Godzilla and Stranger Things Pro. The gz is god awful- flippers are misaligned, it’s dirty, it’s not level. I have a GZ at home and I am such a freak it’s dialed in so nice. I want to cry when I play this one at the bar. I don’t play it. The Stranger though is set up well, plays great and play it for a couple hours at a time. Just need to find the good places and pins. But it will rarely be like home (and how could it? You will put more care into your experience than anyone else)

    Quoted from Zablon:

    I find playing old games on location (if kept up) is fun.
    Playing NEWER games on location tends to suck because the audio is pretty key to know what is going on and you generally can't hear anything.

    Not to mention lighting can be terrible. At the bar I mentioned pins are back in a dark corner and I can’t see a damn thing. I put my phone flashlight on top of the glass. I’ve thought about bringing a head lamp. Yes, I would!
