July 9th ~ pinball hall of fame
An overflowing cup of spare change
plus some spare time equals pinball hall of fame! I had heard of the place here
and there but on July 9th 2012 I finally went to the pinball hall of fame with
my new hubby Lucas. It was so much fun...a lot more fun than I thought it would
be!
They had Tetris, packman, the classic shooting games, table hockey,
bowling, tons of pinball machines and lots of other old games I had never seen
before. At first we tried lots of games, considering it’s a warehouse of old
arcade games with isle and isle of games, but then we found out what we liked. Lucas really liked the shooting game and this one game where you have a ball
on a pole that you control by moving each side up or down and you have to get
the ball in numbered holes in order that are among a maze of other holes, it
was a really fun game actually.
Lucas looked really cute while he was playing the game because he was so into the game so I just had to take a picture!
Table Hockey!! Tony won table hockey championship game!
But we both really like this game that only
cost a nickel (instead of a quarter) and if you scored 240 points you got your
nickel back and could play again, I think that was the concept that made it
addicting! In the game you would pull a leaver that would fling the nickel and
the nickel would slide down and fall in the closest spot, each spot being
different amounts of points. The goal was to pull the leaver slower or quicker
in order for the nickel to get in the higher pointed slots. Like I said it was
addicting and the time flew by, especially with having no clocks in the whole
place, and we ended up spending almost 2 hours in the pinball hall of fame, but
it was a fun night of competitiveness and cheering with victory!
The nickel game we both really liked!
