This will be my first meet. The collection is a little varied and different.

The meet is capped to 30 people. Let me know and I will add you to the list below

I will need a rock solid commitment , a maybe will not reserve you a spot. Then others don`t miss out.

30 plus Machines to play from vintage penny arcades thru to 90s pins the rough breakdown is...

5 1930`s pre flipper Pins

10 Penny Arcade games

2 EM Gun games

I EM bowler

6 EM Pins

4 SS Pins

7 DMD 90s Pins

THE QUEST

Each machine will have its own challenge very little is score based. Some examples may be light special on Flash Gordon, advance 3 balls in the red zone of the 1935 Chicago express, advance to special on Mata Hari by shooting only the A B lanes. Tour the mansion on Adams Family, Get the extra ball on the Fish Tales video mode. Align and collect the yellow red and green 500 points on the 1959 Gottlieb around the world. Flick the penny into the win cup. Ect… ect…

The quest chart will be made available on the night. You cannot play the same machine twice in a row to encourage good game rotation.

Each quest will be worth 1-5 points depending on difficulty.

Winner gets bragging rights and will be awarded a rusty manky old pinball I found in the bottom of my tool box as a prize.

No excuse, Get the tractor out...:lol

 

I really like his format. Some machines are much harder to score a special or some other feature than get the highest score on a night. A and B Specials on Mata Hari is one of those such machines.

Wish it was my state.:redface

This meet has been on simmer for a little while now but…

Finally it is June that means the meet is now next month.

It is open season ( people who have hosted before have registered) so far we have a dozen or so but now I would like to open it up to anyone who has an interest in old arcadia and would like to attend.
