Pinball Post Relay Challenge! Stupid Game Cards For a Ghostbusters Pinball Machine Part 3 of 3.

in #socalsteemit7 years ago


Only a dollar for permission to play?!


Sorry, I didn't play this pinball machine. I didn't want to pay an extra dollar to buy a card.

I'll just keep my big band parking money.

This Ghostbusters Pinball machine and the entire arcade requires a game card!

I didn't even play that shit. It looks to be in good condition though. I'll be back... I gotta play it... even if it is over priced.


Features:


Unfortunately, for this post and us, I didn't play. I can't say too much, but it looks like a good one and it seems to have good lighting.

I saw at least 3 ramps.

The game developers brand name looked familiar too.

The bowling alley where the machine is located was uhh... good. AC, bathrooms, parking lot and double sided grand staircase. I'm not a bowling expert, but I saw a few proficient players that looked satisfied.

Current High Scores:

I've got nothing other than the one that's coincidentally visible in the games digital display in my image in the pinball machine. I only took one picture.

Tips/Strategies:

  • Live a cash existence if your in debt due to a career change from 10 years ago.
  • Save your game card and save a dollar next time. This machine is probably worth a "next time," but I can't be sure just yet.
  • Bring a date and use one player together instead of two separate players. Trade off with who goes first. If your age 35 to 45, and your dad is still alive, take him to play pinball. Pinball is a good father and son thing to do.

• Use your nose too:


Look for Round Table pizza franchises, Pizza Hut, and other local pizza places.


• Use your brain too:


Look for pool halls, bowling alleys, Chuck E. Cheese's, and Dave and Busters.


• Use your voice too:


Ask the employees where they have their pinball machine and show them that a demand exists. Let them know that there are people out there that still want to play pinball.


• Use your cellular life support system:


Search for the key word, "barcade" in a google maps app. Fuck Yelp. Try other words like billiards, pool hall, and bowling alley for example. Let me know if you think of some more.

Pinside.com's Map:


It kinda sucks on my iPhone's safari to be honest. Using two fingers causes my screen to scroll while the browser simultaneously scrolls. Maybe this is manageable on a newer mobile device, but older devices that lag will be frustrating.


I prefer to start out on my desktop, mentally lock in the pinball location I'm interested in, and use the Pinside map for verification while I'm on the road/updating.


When I look for a new pinball location to update I start by searching the obvious city name. There are many cities clustered together in Southern California, so sometimes you need to try searching for more than one of the major cities in the area. I do the same thing if I want to find a pinball machine near a city I'm traveling to.

Sometimes it's just easier to use your pinball intuition. Consider using the search function of pinside.com the other way around. Start with Google Maps and look near your self first. Look for a bowling alley, a pizza place, or an arcade. Call them and ask them if they have a pinball machine. If they do, look for the location's address on Pinside.com. If they don't, slash everyone's tires in their parkinglot... just kidding.

This Location:


This Ghostbusters pinball machine's location is a bowling alley. Remember what I said about finding places? Anyway, I even called to confirm that they had a machine.

The picture above shows the address and location for this Ghostbusters pinball machine.

The name on the left shows us that a guy named "vicjw66" added this location to Pinside way back in 2012.


Then, the bowling alley, Gable House, signed up and edited the location in 2015. That is really smart of them, but it's outdated.


This is image of the "Game List" below is part of what they shared to Pinside.com.


I WISH they still had those games!


So anyway, eventually I come along (2018) and leave the comment in the image below.

I was not happy. Later, I reconsidered my update and edited my comment because I think I should be grateful they have at least one functional machine. Like I said I'll be back and I'll spend the extra dollar to play. It's kind of fun to look forward to it anyway. If it's not too much, I'll become a, "regular."

New Pinball Friends!


Do you know @zingali? You should. He likes pinball too. Look forward to him sharing something fun for us and the Pinside.com community too. He has some great pinball ideas.

🍻


NEXT Pinball:


Look for the start of a new three part series. I'll probably start with a favorite pinball location and then conduct a few investigations/updates to Pinside.com.


Also NEXT:


A post featuring me and our neighbor @steelparade performing Jazz combo music and then ukulele and steel drum music in a post called: Tuesday, We Made More Jazz Go and THEN Saturday, We Performed Steel Drum and Ukulele Music for FOLAR Volunteers in California.


I'm good at unnecessarily long post titles.

I love video games, even more than Batman, and have not played this Ghost Busters arcade game but maybe I should. Thanks for sharing. Pinball games can be fun.
