no WAY. the pinball 2000 concept is so fucking money. for those of you
who dunno. theres a full video screen that hangs upside down above the
board and its reflected onto the playing field. when the ball passes
through the holographic video screen, the sensors or something pick up
on whats going on and the screen changes accordingly. so in star wars
episode one, theres all these droids walking around, and if your ball
goes through the screen when theres a droid there, he blows up and
anakin goes "HEY GUYS IM CUTE RIGHT?"

they have this at crossgates mall in albany. but whenever you get
multiball the game gets really stupid, and lets you keep playing while
it tells you you have lost. it pisses me off. fix yr fucking games

addams family DOES rule and so does the twilight zone pinball game.
other honorable mentions:
Popeye - can be found in hyannis, massachusetts, on main street near the
carousel. its got two levels on it and some wicked crazy shit.
Last Action Hero - has this crane and some other shit that makes it
really awesome, the only problem is the scoops in the middle of the
board tend to shoot the ball right at the slot between the flippers, and
yr shit outta luck
flinstones - i like it. i dunno why. this arcade in colonie center mall
has flintstones and judge dredd, and youd think i would play judge
dredd, but flintstones is so much better.
if you wanna check shit out, go to www.ipdb.com i think .the internet
pinball database.
