I'm back from Budapest, so finally I can make a little contribution to this forum.
I took so many photos and videos, so I'll post in a few batches.
We went on Sunday afternoon. We walked from the little island, across the yellow bridge, stopping to have lunch at an american bbq place. If we had walked directly I reckon it would have taken 15-20mins? We got there at around 3pm.
It wasn't difficult to find but it's in a quieter area of town. As it was still light, the neon sign was turned off.
The place is in a basement, with several rooms/ areas. This is the main area.
Initially, I wanted to take a photo of every single machine there, but after I got about 1/2 way through I gave up. =D
There were many weird and wonderful machines, games I've never heard of being a beginner that I am. So I'm just gonna tell it as I see it.
This one is just crazy. It's called Orbitor 1. The playfield is bumpy like the surface of the moon. It's not populated with loads of stuff like your regular pinball machine, but instead there are a few magnets (I assume) that attracts the ball and somehow get the ball to orbit around them. It's very clever and at times look amazing, but it's not your average game if you see what I mean. It was noteworthy never the less.
Some of the artwork on these games are really gorgeous.
There was a birthday party there when we arrived so a small section was taped off, but there were more than enough games to play.
I finally played Party Monsters! =) I enjoyed it. (might not look it in this photo)
All these games I've only ever read about or seen pictures of I got to play. I concur that Cirqus Voltaire is a very good game.
Also Arabian Nights get the thumbs up from me too. =)
My new fave though was Banzai Run for its outlandish vertical section and the magnet thingy that picks up the ball to make that transition.
Many more photos to come.
And videos.
