Penny Arcade / Arcade Amusements - Manitou Springs,Colorado

[Sgt GrizZ]

As promised, a bunch of pics from my recent visit to this most awesome collection - in the small town of Manitou Springs, about 50 miles south of Denver.

Spent a fantastic afternoon wandering starry eyed thru the sprawling arcade - games in 6 buildings as well in covered walkways between them

Most stuff still on a Quarter to play, or less for older machines. Only newer machines such as Kiss were $1 a play. Games I played were in very good working order, and considering the size of the collection there were actually very few machines switched off

Anyway I'll let the pics do the talking ...

For @Nedreud

One of the few pins showing some wear .... minor though

GrizZ Vs Aladdins

This Rocket kicked my ass. Good job it was only 5c a game

For @cooldan

 

[Sgt GrizZ]

One of several Pacman/Ms.Pacmans

This English Football game was 1c a ball, and was bloody good fun, you cranked the handle to move yr teams legs/goalie to boot the ball up field. Shame the pic blurred.

Loads of rare games like this Skyfighter

 

[Sgt GrizZ]

Really, really enjoyed this


Was good to get my hands on Juicy Melons at last

 

[Sgt GrizZ]

One of the few Out of Order games. Really wanted to try this. Bit like 'Whirlybird'

Ton of classic vids 'outside' ....Tron etc


Thats all folks. I think I have some little vids somewhere, might get them up at some point.

Wow, that looks really cool. Nice you got to play Kiss.

I'm in Florida at moment and only seen/played one pin the last 9 days. A POTC missing the ship.....

Bummer. I found plenty in California too , Santa Monica and Santa Cruz both had great arcades with plenty of pins.

Woo hoo! @Nedreud Gold Ball alert in pride of place (and a Silver Ball back to back to it). I hope you got to play that classic.

 

[Nedreud]

Wow! GOLD BALL! That means there are at least 3 left in the world. Nice to see this one is as faded as mine! Thanks @Sgt GrizZ Really interesting mish-mash of pins here with quite a few rarities.
