[QUOTE="Kolchak357, post: 21771, member: 568"] Ok, I just came home from the Pinball Parlour. I'll give a brief review while it's fresh in my head. I agree with dtown in saying that this place a a fantastic collection of tables (see YouTube link a bottom to see all of the backglasses). Most tables are not on great shape. Most tables play fields are dirty, there were many bulbs out, and several weak flippers. They are only open for 3 hours per night, and there are still plenty of positives to keep you entertained for three hours. Here is what I played or tried to play. Addams Family - machine was dirty but played ok. Attack From Mars - the top half of the main saucer was missing, but other than that the table played well. Cirques Voltaire - Played well, one of the better maintained machines. CFTBL - looked and played very well. Earth Shaker - in pretty good shape and yes it shook quite well. Elvira Part Monsters - out of order Fisf Tales - playable but the DMD is dead (sad) Hurricane - played great, one of my favorites there. Indian Jones - out of order, total bummer there. Junkyard - I played a few games and it was a blast. Never played it before. Love that wrecking ball. But my buddy said the machine was acting up toward the end of the night and was unplayable. Medieval Madness - left flipper had full power but was hanging too low an just ruined it. No Good Gofers - worked fine and was as fun as I remembered. Safecracker - worked fine. A very different kind of game. Need to play this more. Scared Stiff - looked and played great. Played more games of this than any other table. Loved it! Star Trek Next Gen - looked and play very well. Tough table, but fun. Twilight Zone - table very dirty and top right flipper was underpowered. Whirlwind - looked good, but the discs didn't spin. This is a deal breaker for me. White Water - looked and played well. Ramps in nice shape. Forgot how hard this table was. Kicked my ass the first few games, but I loved it. Revenge From Mars and Star Wars Ep 1 were up and running, but I had no interest in playing them. I didn't play Banzai Run or Funhouse, but my buddy said they were in pretty good shape and he enjoyed them. I did play a few EM's like Klondike and Sure Shot and a few others, but I cant remember all of the names. The condition of these is pretty rough. But they were still fun. Got up to 93K in Sure Shot but couldn't get the score to turnover. Maybe next time. As I said they are not maintained in collector shape. It appears to be a one man operation. The guy has a full time job and opens this place in the evenings. Super nice guy. I think his name was Paul. He even opened up early to let us in. And you should easily be able to find enough to keep you having fun for three hours. And it was only $15 for the three hours of unlimited play. I would definitely go back again. My pal and I both agreed on that. That's about all I can remember. Let me know if you have any other questions.
