Texans have set the record for most pinball machines played at the same time.

Sounds like a challenge to me.

Does it have to be in the same venue, or could be organise some nationwide time/date for everyone to play via webcam ?

If you read the article it sounds a logistical and huge red tape exercise just trying to play under 1 roof

plus 700 quid for the world records people. Pinburgh @ PAPA HQ already have 400 people playing at once but don't want to splash out the 700 to claim the record...

OMG. Can you imagine the logistics and electrical hardware required to get 272 pinball machines into the same room? Even at a very conservative 200W per machine in attract mode that's nearly 250 Amps at UK mains voltage. If they were all being played you might expect that to easily double, probably triple!

We need a South Coast Slam style ACDC record, get 300 ACDCs all playing the same song under one roof, THAT would be worth a record
