Caught up a bit on this thread and played a wee bit of Black Knight 2000. They’ve dropped the volume a bit since the last time I was here. Prolly for the best. Still have a Foo Fighters high score up from a while ago. Now to the Space Needle!

Space Needle

Also saw some dudes light stick dancing to a Vocoloid song Prolly Hatsune Miku?

Got to the Streamline Tavern.

Hate to say it, but this is the first one I’m phoning in. Played a game poorly. Played another to test the major shots. Seems like a fine machine in decent shape…

But the bus I needed was showing up in five minutes. The next one was forty minutes out. I think I made the right choice. Ballard ho!

Misread the schedule. Might’ve only been 20 minutes. Still, got three more to go and three miles to travel from machine number 8 to 10.

Got to the Lock & Keel.

Was pretty dang packed and warm in there. Machine played fine, but had clearly been through a lot. Couldn’t read the Thing Flips or 2x Bear Kicks windows, not to mention the mansion windows. Couple playing Monster Bash next to me were playing his, hers and split flip over three players. was cute.

Stopped at the Ballard Smoke Shop which, to the disappointment of the dude walking next to me, does not sell vape juice. It’s a nautical bar and pinball spot.

Played a bit of disappointing Black Knight Sword of Rage. Was too worried about missing the bus to play well. At Least that’s my John. Anyway... Freelard ho!

Made it to 4Bs. Not sure if it stands for something, but they have great murals

It’s really more of a pool spot. They’ve got pinball and Killer Queen though.

Sadly, the Adam’s Family was out of order. According to the bartender, it’s a board issue. Something about an NPU, but I may have misheard him or he may have misunderstood the pinball repairing dude.

So I played a bit of Theater of Magic and Twilight Zone, at least keeping around the year Adam’s Family was released. Both seem to play well, but I don’t know ToM all that well beyond hitting the cube. At least Twilight Zone has The Power and GREED. Some overlap with Adams Family. One last stop.

Made it to Add-a-Ball. What they lack in signage, they make up in murals too. I’ll post more of the art here at the end of the thread.

Took a few tries, but I met up with a friend and played a few games till one of us hit the replay. Plays nice, mostly.

I really thought this was Jeff Bridges, but apparently it‘s Patrick Swazye from…
