Pinball Stories: How to gang up on an arcade that has a broken Star Wars pinball machine.

in #esteem7 years ago (edited)

I have no idea why this Star Wars Episode 1 pinball machine has been sitting in the back corner of this arcade.


I found it months ago and I've wanted to use the extra button ever since.

Pinside.com has great details about this pinball machine: https://pinside.com/pinball/archive/star-wars-episode-i

This pinball machine seems to require a player card. I wonder if it's the exact same type of card that is used on the Ghostbusters pinball machine at the bowling alley I mentioned in a previous post. https://steemit.com/socalsteemit/@steemseph/pinball-post-relay-challenge-stupid-game-cards-for-a-ghostbusters-pinball-machine-part-3-of-3-1c731ee0923e5


"Get them now!"

Hey everyone, call them and tell them that the pinball machine is broken and they are missing out on massive profits.
(Don't tell them what I look like!)

The arcade actually seems pretty cool. They have hourly specials on various weekdays. Their other discount promotions look fun. Be nice and try not to sound as sarcastic as you think I would be. They could have an awesome arcade if there was pinball.


Pinball Friends:

Our Steem neighbor @zingali got epic really quick!

I could not have said it better myself. Our young apprentice and neighbor @jlsplatts hit the womprat right on the head with that comment.

Outdated Pinside.com


Yep, another outdated pinball location. Pinside.com is probably a good place to start if your ready for an adventure, but be prepared for disappointment. Expect to spend most of your money on coffee and donuts. In addition to Pinside.com look for bowling alleys and pizza places. Be sure to call ahead and ask if there is a pinball machine. A resurgence is growing.

As you can see in the Pinside.com screen shot above, the last update was in 2012. Two of those machines are gone, but it's reassuring to see that one of the same pinball machines are still here. I'm starting to think someone in this arcade cares.

This Location:


This Star Wars Episode 1 pinball machine's location is in another bowling alley's arcade. This arcade is big and probably lots of fun. It would be better with a functioning pinball machine. They have space.


I've already called once to complain about their unused machine.

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

The picture below features my update and the images I've shared to Pinside.com.

This situation has dragged on long enough and it's time to call again. I think it could be one small victory with a healthy ripple effect for pinballers like us.

Life happens and like our pinball seeking neighbor @zingali says, "You can't rush things, bro..."

Delays happen and life has changing priorities. Even just creating this post, I've experienced delays. Vacation is my most awesome excuse and I am grateful for it. I thought about pinball while I was away, but I didn't try very hard to get a pinball fix or even investigate. It was nice to get away.

Thanks to my dart throwing skills, I made some wonderful connections. I'm sure my new friends would be willing to help me locate a pinball machine or two the next time I'm in their hood.

Regarding the Art: If I take screenshots of Pinside.com, I alter them to make them fit my theme. I just want to mention this so that I can give credit to Pinside.com. I also take lots of my own pictures and also alter them to fit my theme.

Sort:  

I will call them tomorrow and check up and see if the ‘force has been awakened’ yet. Shoot I might just have to Dlive it 😜😜

PFFFF LOL, YES!!! Please DLive your call. That would be funny!!!!!!!!

It’s goin to be tricky but I think I have enough deceives to make it happen.
Work phone to call them
Personal phone to record with broadcast me app
And work iPad to run Dlive.
This should be interesting.

Yeah, that’s a fun topic. I feel like we are prank calling someone in my parents 1990’s kitchen’s land line.
I’ve never tried broadcast me. Did you ever try Busker app? I use periscope cuz it’s mobile.

That sounds like a good plan though. I think you have it figured out. You also just taught me that DLive works from an iPad. Hmm... I would love to dump periscope or bring people from there to Steem.

It works pretty good. My son @lil-splatts and I have been live-streaming his Splatoon Gameplay with it. As long as you have good cell service it works awesome.
Oh the 90’s, phone cords so long you could take your phone from your kitchen to the neighbors kitchen to grab some eggs or milk. Lol

I will shoot to live stream it around 2 o clock then you can comment some questions you want me to ask. Lol

Cool, live stream on which platform?

Thanks for the Steemit love!

My pleasure neighbor! I really appreciate the cool info your sharing with me about the tournaments and stuff. I hope you blog about it... Nate I missed it already... I’ll look

Keep the pinball coverage coming!

I'm glad you like it. I plan on it.

Thanks! I appreciate your reports and I have nothing to hide. Not a coincidence.
