Roanoke Pinball Museum – Arcade Walk-Thru
I’ve been doing a bit of traveling lately and it’s always a pleasure to visit with old friends and see new arcades. Here I get to do both. Enjoy this walk-thru of this really cool pinball museum.
First Impressions: Stern Godzilla. Which is the better game? Pro or Premium?
We’ve been having a lot of fun with this game lately – I’m still not qualified to do a “pinball showcase” because the ruleset is so complicated (and partially unfinished) that I’m not ready to do that, but I can comment on what I think of the game and which version is the one you might want depending upon your priorities?
First Look: Zaccaria Farfalla – interesting restoration project

Early gameplay video of first Hot Wheels pinball prototype
Here is a short video of the first public demo of the Hot Wheels pinball machine – from a convention in New Orleans right before Covid exploded and everything was shut down.

Rare Gottlieb “Caveman” Pinball – first look and restoration!
This is a very interesting game I had a chance to pick up and couldn’t resist. A 1980s System 80 game – one of two very rare, low production hybrid pinball/video game machines Gottlieb made. Let’s take a “first look” at what I have… more videos to come of the restoration!
