jon baby Pac Man, I think? Attack from mars had a video mode where you shot flying saucers.

― Mr. Que, Monday, 7 May 2007 18:07 (sixteen years ago) link

anyway, re: espresso, go for the medaglia d'oro if you can find it jon, best ground espresso coffee i've used

except it didn't exactly work that way. you started doing the video pac man maze and then you can make it go into a pinball game.

my dad is seriously a very good pinball player but he often hipchecks machine too hard and gets TILT.

some games have tilt turned off which is awesome. generally, you can push it back and forth a little bit, but not side to side

it's pretty important to be either drinking coffee or alcohol when playing pinball. coffee focuses me somehow and alcohol makes me play all crazy and aggressive.

One time I was guilt-racked by a shady (on my part) weed purchase; me & some folks, desperate, managed to come up with $30 in QUARTERS. I rolled them up and brought them to dude, he was obviously all WTF at the time.

I saw him like 2 weeks later and he was all THK U THK U THK U because he was STILL playing the Jurassic Park pinball game at the pizza place next to his house off that same cache of quarters.

― nickalicious, Monday, 7 May 2007 18:36 (sixteen years ago) link

This place I used to play often in my ill-advised rap-metal band had one of these, it actually kind of stank:

jw did you travel back in time and steal my brain from college, because i used to think the same thing. like a pinball game that gave you a donut or a cup of coffee instead of a free game.

SHOOT LEFT RAMP NOW

― elmo argonaut, Monday, 7 May 2007 19:02 (sixteen years ago) link

u_u --

In November 2005 The Pinball Factory (TPF), based in Melbourne, Australia, announced that they would be producing a new Crocodile Hunter-themed pinball machine under the Bally label. However, with the recent death of Steve Irwin, it was announced that the future of this game has become uncertain.[1]

Diner is the only pinball game i can think of with a coffee cup. You'd shoot the ball into it and the ball would spin around and around. It's at the top of the playfield:

How cool would it be if to unlock espresso shot (once you crossed correct threshold) you had to do all the tasks -- beans dropping down chute, grinding etc

i have played this for over an hour straight:

http://wirelessdigest.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/gnrpinball.JPG

the multiball is called slash's snake pit and it plays a killer solo.

http://www.tilt.it/pics/flyers/dataeast-sega/guns_n_roses_1994_f_1.jpg

it has an exclusive track on it too:

http://www.pinballhispano.net/pinballworld/images_flyers/guns_n_roses_b.jpg

you cant really read it, but the banner under axl's chin at the bottom reads "APPETITE FOR PINBALL."

i cant remember what its called when a ball rolls in a little alley behind one of your flippers and you're fucked, but that alley has a light that says MICHELLE on it and has a naked chick draped over it. when you lose a ball down that alley it plays the WELL WELL WELL MY MICHELLE line from the chorus.

also: two plungers- one is a gun and the other a rose.

If there was a good pinball machine in my neighborhood I'd ~~get a lot less work done~~ waste time there instead of on ILX

kevin and other chicago noizes should head to the pinball convention that happens at a hotel by o'hare every fall. $10 entry but totally worth it cause there's all these old machines set to free play.

My step-dad went to high school in Chicago with a guy who went to work for Williams Electronics after graduation. One of my most fondest memories was visiting that guy and getting to play with a disassembled Joust machine in his office/spare bedroom.

Seems like he was an active participant in that pinball expo. And the bar in town here had that GNR game, too. Nothing cooler than sticking your quarter in and hearing Axl whisper "Oh my God" as you went to pull the trigger...

there used to be a pool hall @ my hometown with guns n roses pinball! if i remember right every time you lost a round slash would say "awww.. duuuude!"

i got a soy latte from the cafe @ the world bank today. what can i say, i was downtown & didn't want to get starbucks..

murky coffee in dc has excellent coffee, esp if you want just a plain cup of coffee that actually tastes good. but so does dunkin donuts! aren't there any dunkin donuts in brooklyn?

my third grade teacher had a pinball machine in her house and if you made 100% on the sar test or sra test or something or whatev it was called, she would take you to get ice cream after school and then to visit the surf shop she and her husband owned and then you got to play free pinball for 2 hours. THANK YOU MRS. BRADLEY.
