PINBALL WIZARDRY

|

I know it’s already been reported, but EDS sold a pinball machine in conjunction with the Byron Nelson for charity. More pictures of the special Mega Golf Ball Frenzy machine, featuring 99 professional golfers’ signatures, can be seen on eBay. That news, on top of the fact that I saw a Roller Coaster pinball machine at Texadelphia over the weekend–one that was not there the last time I was–leads me to this conclusion: pinball is back.

Of course, for People Who Like Pinball and Have Two Thumbs Like This Guy [figure it out], pinball never left–it just gets harder and harder to find. Wizards can put their pinball pants on at Old Town’s Texadelphia, Bar of Soap (at least they used to), and, um, you know, all those other places. Dave & Buster’s had one tucked in the corner, last I recall. FrontBurnervians please help me out. I’d like to compile a list. Game, Location, and Condition, please. (N.B. If anyone finds the F-14 Tomcat that used to be at Family Fun Time off Park and Greenville, I’m pretty sure my high score still stands.)
