Trip report from Austin, Texas

[Andrew Hannay]

On work related business in Austin, Texas in the U.S. Of A and its currently cold and ****ing it down just like back home. Decided to do a bit of pinball hunting and dragged my Canadian colleague (the driver) out with me. And we came across Pinballz Arcade! See pics. Sweeeeet.








More to come......

how does the 'Typing of The Dead' play?

 

[Mfresh]

That looks amazing - what a lineup. Almost as good as Matt Addams' place...

Is that George Gomez playing Hercules in the last photo? And what was the score with the pins? Was it a dollar a game?

Looks like you've hit the jackpot there.

The keyboard covers made the keys quite hard to read, so unless you were a touch typest it was a little difficult.

That's me playing the Hercules
Pins were 75c per game apart from the Hercules which was $1.50 and most video games were 50c apart from the Star Wars Battle Pod which was $2 a game. If it were cheaper or pay at the door I would have stayed longer.

At around 50p for a game of pinball I'd say it was a fair price.

I can just remember when Hercules was on weston pier in 1980 it was a 50p a go whereas others pins were 10p 5 balls. Another reason as well as its boring gameplay that I rarely had a go!
