The arcade I go to is actually nothing but old pinball machines! That are free once you pay the $10 admission!

Here is one of my favorites!



This is Fireball. The rubber pad in the middle spins around really fast and launches your ball everywhere. When you score enough points to get an extra ball, the machine goes crazy and makes all sorts of noise!



Here are some more tables. Super-Flite is the easiest table there. I can almost always get the extra ball on that one. I'm not very good at pinball, but I beat my friend on the Pinball Wizard (It's based on the song!) by like 20 times his score because I lucked out and hit a lot of things on my turns.



More tables! These ones are solid state instead of electromechanical. The one the farthest away is Black Knight, which was really popular that night. It's the first multilevel pinball field, according to Wikipedia. The person that wins gets to keep playing for an additional amount of time (I think it was 45 seconds?) and just keep launching balls with the plunger as fast as they can and the flippers are still on and it's crazy and the game is screaming BLACK KNIGHT BLACK KNIGHT or something over and over again. Evel Knievel is pretty fun too. We've played that one a lot. Stars kinda sucks, if I remember correctly.



This is my second favorite table! Lady Luck is a lot of fun. The playing field is really open and there's some cool bonus things in there like you hit this metal bar to try to launch a ball into a target to get 50,000 points (which is an awful lot for this table). It's a really cool old electromechanical one.



This is my favorite table on the right! Royal Flush has all these neat bonuses when you die based on which card targets you've collected. Beat Time is I guess a beatles parody table that's okay but not great.

There's a lot of other tables there too, and a shuffleboard bowling game. It's a really neat place.
