I'm heading to ocean city now, I'll be staying around 20th st and will be spending most of my time at the arcades on the boardwalk. Anyone gonna be around here?
 
Here again for the day... I've seen a lot of 60-1s... Only dedicated ms.pac and Galaga I saw was at "electric quarter" on 137th street. They have a south park pin too... My new favorite pin! Anyone down here?
 
I'll be down in two weeks. I stay one street over from the electric quarter. I usually have a few beers, go over and spend a few bucks, go to the other end of the strip mall to Kirbys and have a few, then go back the arcade, repeat a few times, then walk home. I'll be there for a full week this year an I absolutely can't wait!
 
Electric quarter has a South Park pin still. I love it.

I saw their tech walking in with a monitor chassis but I was at the mini golf behind the arcade. I wanted to go talk to him lol
 
Aww man, I wish I was in Ocean City, I haven't been in a while! Enjoy yourself out there, I hope to get a group of friends together to go at some point.
 
So here's my big complaint about OC arcades.

Almost every pinball I played had an issue.

I played lord of the rings and the left flipper barely worked so I couldn't get multiball.

Nascar, if you drained the ball it would get stuck until the ball search kicked in.

Simpsons pinball party, the upper playfield left flipper was frozen, so when you went in the garage, the ball went straight down to the lower playfield, again keeping you from getting multiball.

I played three pirates machines and they all had issues with the ship or the ship wasn't there.

I played Xmen and the ball would get stuck until ball search and one machine I played the ball got wedged at the top of the playfield and would not free until someone pulled the glass.

I love pinball ball, but holy crap...so many problems.

And people wonder why vidz took over ;)
 
I played again at play land yesterday. They fixed the Simpsons flipper that was broken, but like 75% of the lights are out on it so its hard to get extra ball or hit any lit targets. I also had to reset the game like 3 times because multiple balls would shoot out into the launch area
