Yes and no.
Top floor - where all the older Bally/Willaims games are - plus the CGC bits - TES
Ground floor - New sterns - YES
Downstairs (Basement) - only 3 games, Black Rose, Johnny M and something else I cant remember - NO

If you come across any faults on machines, please PM me with them and I will sort them out.

@Wayne J - ask them to turn it on, They dont run it upstairs all the time I know that.
Just tell them who you are Wayne! They'll be scurrying to blast that A/C out, disgraceful!
They only need to look at the graffiti I put on every machine I played to know my name
I was on ground floor, think it came on later at some point.
In all seriousness, it was good over there. Nice to see so many of the newer games have had Insider Connect added. Was able to fill out a few achievements
All the machines I played were fully working, although could do with the tilts adjusting I had a random tilt on TS4, and there doesn't appear to be one on Mando

He clearly didn’t have his LORD OF IFPA shirt on 
Mando is Kirks game.
Youll have to ask him ref tilt bob.

You can ask at the till for coins
If things are still as they were, you are allowed to order in food and eat it at the venue. Perhaps just ask at the bar in case that’s now a no-go. Sure the staff can suggest a nearby restaurant.
Actually, Mrs. & I are gonna be heading over to Tilt tomorrow. Been far too long since our last visit. This time last year if memory serves. Been a crazy past 12 months.
Anyway, if anyone from the forum fancies a pint and a few games let me know.

It's Bham city centre, you won't be short of places to eat - McDonalds, Greggs, etc.
@Lroy @russdx1 you are able to order food in/bring food in.
If you like chicken I recommend Bonehead - though at the moment I think they only do eat in. I'm sure Kirk and the rest of the Tilt peeps would also agree, amazing chicken.
Took @windoesnot and Paul there when they were down - we all enjoyed it.

Yeah, I think that’s what we ordered in on the last couple occasions we visited. Great idea, means you don’t even have to leave the pub to eat. Less wandering between locations and more pin time
Can confirm, Bonehead was superb!
Toy Story is great
Yeah we enjoyed that one the most, the ball does stay up the top a bit constantly being hit back into the pop out hole by the lower pop bumper lolToy Story is great
Welcome back @Tilt_BirminghamToy Story is great
Much fun had yesterday at Tilt. Highlight being able to get hands-on with the hot freshness of Toy Story 4. Felt classic Lawlor with something happening off every impact the ball made and some amazing light effects. The mini virtual playfield mode where you play a digital toy version of pinball made me laugh - some kind of tongue-in-cheek mockery of the inferior digital recreation of real pins by JJP?
Other highlights included seeing Kirk and another ? make quick work of taking delivery and set-up of JP2 and the very tasty Piper’s crisps (only taken me dozen or so visits to actually think of asking if they serve snacks, lol!)
Off the top of my head, the current pin line-up was ground floor: Stern’s Godzilla, Mandalorian, Avengers IQ, JP2, Stranger Things, Batman ‘66, Deadpool and Guardians of the Galaxy. Plus, JJP’s Toy Story 4.
Lower level: Congo, Johnny Mnemonic, White Water (love this machine) and Black Rose.
Upper level: Addams Family, CGC’s AFM, MM, CC (first time playing this, really good fun) and MB [note: this had the kick-out misaligned as it just furiously shot straight down the drain every single time. Mentioned this to member of staff].
Also on top floor, Scared Stiff [note: the skeleton ramp on right-hand side had a segment turned outwards causing it to smack against the glass when the ball travelled down it.], CV and TZ.
Only other thing to note was all the machines barring perhaps CV seemed to set at very low volume? I did mention this to staff but they suggest this wasn’t the case. Bizarre as I recall on past visits being able to hear the tables call-outs and music over the sound of flippers, pumped in music from speakers and lively chatter of patrons, on this occasion no songs playing on speakers and all I could hear was flippers. Felt really strange playing a machine without being able to hear it. Very likely I must be going deaf.
Anyway, hope to return again at the next opportunity and hopefully coincide with meeting a few forum folk there. Cheers
