skee-ball machine perpetually missing one ball

Think I favor Pinball Pete’s. They have DDR, Marvel V Capcom, and the old X-Men game.

izz/ott problem @IsHeOughtTo6/4/2023, 9:23 PM

whats the deal with the pinball machines

caelestis🏳️‍⚧️@neoncaelestis6/4/2023, 11:39 PM

i remember there was one arcade machine that was a literal dreamcast inside a sega astro city cabinet running SHENMUE at one of these so uh. that was concerning

noted ear-haver @rachelmae6/4/2023, 11:53 PM

our local one has a hacked SNES Classic in a custom cab with one of the laggiest LCD TVs i've ever seen. absolutely bizarre

caelestis🏳️‍⚧️@neoncaelestis6/5/2023, 7:48 AM

wh. why would you do that

cool ranch davidian @kuffs6/4/2023, 11:48 PM

A large number of children even tho it is 9:30 and it goes 21+ at 9:00

@zacaj6/5/2023, 2:52 AM

and that's why my retro arcade only has pinball machines ;)

Ezra @ezra6/5/2023, 5:22 AM

somehow, a F-Zero AX cabinet

Bennyfactor @bennyfactor6/5/2023, 4:13 PM

Also we turn into a very loud nightclub at 10 pm!

d. merrill @terebifunhouse6/9/2023, 2:32 PM

ours was pretty good, only $5 admission, did have the well maintained pinballs, and it... burned down in a fire.

there was a really good pizza place in my hometown with a rare Nintendo Super System cab that burned down years ago. i sure as hell hope that cab wasn't still in there
