![]() ![]() ![]() This is sustainable in the short term, but not the long term. ![]() We (I) will continue to pay rent and not take in money. There’s no update on the “when are we opening” front, but it’s pretty clear now that it will be a while. Well, it’s been an interesting week to say the least. Here’s (most of) the email I just sent to our members. Our weekly gatherings are more than just the games but we all need some moments of normalcy through this.Īs usual, the Pinball Co-op takes inspiration from the Sanctum. The worlds crazy right now and I know how overwhelming this is for a lot of people. I’ve got a triage of games in my basement I’m always overhauling and rotating in and out of Sanctum and would gladly loan out games to help people with their mental well being in this time. I was fed up with the repetitive elements to his games by then, but try them and any other game which interests you for yourself.If any Sanctum locals are in need of pinball in their life hit me up. Roadshow is one of the succession of Pat Lawlor's games, following hits like Earthshaker, Whirlwind, Addams Family and Twilight Zone. It's supposedly Dennis portrayed as Bigfoot. ![]() Dude and Party Zone, and was followed by Demolition Man, Indy 500 and Scared Stiff. Whitewater was Dennis Nordman's follow-up to Elvira and the Party Monsters, Dr. Of the others you mention, Whitewater would be my preference over Roadshow. It followed his earlier games, in the sequence Road Kings, Big Guns (co-designed), Taxi, Police Force (also as co-designer) and Diner, and was followed by the wide-body Indiana Jones PBA. The one I owned, bought as part of a job lot from a local arcade being refurbished, was the first to to be moved on.įish Tales was a game designed by Mark Ritchie, with his characteristic cross-over ramp shot arrangement. There were plenty of other games at the time that outclassed Invaders from a play point of view. Though it seems you're settling on newer games, if I may I'll repeat advice I gave another newcomer recently Space Invaders, which shifted a vast number of units at the time, is in fact an extremely formulaic game. So, with this in mind, are there any similar playing pins? I very much enjoyed the overall flow of the game. It really struck a note with me from the gameplay point of view. The pinball I remember the most fondly and was definitely one of my favourites was Fish Tails. If anyone knows what these machines are, it would be appreciated. One had a yeti or a bigfoot in the play area, and another had some workers in hard hats. I do remember two other pinball machines but cannot remember their names. Giger alien on the back glass with an infinity mirror effect around the edge, but I'm not 100% sure as my memory is a bit rusty. Basically, it had what, to me, was the typical H.R. The first two I actually remember were Fish Tails, and I think from memory it was Space Invaders. During my time, they changed them out a few times. The coolest part was it always had two pinball tables. However, I managed to take advantage of the games room as much as possible, mainly after work and during lunch breaks. I think the main reason the agency had this room was as an informal setting for entertaining new clients. Many moons ago, I worked for an advertising agency, and they had a games room. ![]()
