...and they're dirty, barely working pieces of shit! I think it's important to support locations w/ pins...but man, that's where I draw the line. Make the damn game PLAYABLE if you want me to put 75 cents in it!
 
The Lake Alice pins need to be updated. Currently the lineup is Dracula, Medieval Madness, Family Guy, No Good Gofers, Addams Family, and Eight Ball Deluxe. I know the Eight Ball Deluxe won't be there much longer, and some of the lineup will change by mid-May.

John's Incredible Pizza Co, Montclair - Spiderman, Shrek.
 
Thanks, guys! Updated the map! - switched it from pin based to location based for easier navigation.

Easier to find locations, but harder to find any particular game, though. I haven't figured out if there's a way to search only within a user-created map. If you type in "adams family" in the search bar, it goes to the whole US map and you get "Dick and Adams honeymoon roadtrip." :rolleyes:

Disneyland - Indiana Jones Pinball

Is this in the Starcade?

Now THAT's a bowling alley. Worth the risk of getting nailed by a 17 pounder wielded by a drunk retiree.

Sweet lineup once again at Lake Alice! I wish the John's Incredible in Mo. Valley would put some nice pins in. I'd endure the terrible food then.

Thanks for the clarifications, and the additional locations, guys. Map is updated!

Great map!!

In my map (pinballmachine.org) I don't put condition info, only certain things like 5 ball or whatever. The other collaborators might though.

I don't do this because saying it plays badly only ensures no one will ever play there and the place will get rid of the pin. There is even one operator location where I ran into the op while playing his utterly sh*t IJ4 and he was a total ass when I pointed it out. I still list the games at that location. My one bad experience with the guy does not mean I should discourage ever playing there for all.

If the pins are in crap shape, I try to call the operator or I let the bar or whatever know. In FAR too many cases, the bar or operator say things like "this is the first I'm hearing of it" and "thanks for letting us know".

Likewise, I play a TAF that has a broken thing flip and the magnets don't work, but otherwise is fine. I have a blast on it, but some purist might call the game junk.
 
One way I populated my map was to go to yelp and search for pinball in my areas. Often times, the mention of pinball was pretty old so I called up the venue and asked what they had. I even found a dentist with a pirates of the Caribbean in his waiting room this way!!!

Another resource is the pinball locator on pinballrebel.com. Again, I had do some follow up calling.

My SF locations still need updating but a friend of mine who lives there is compiling a big list for me.

I will probably start calling up locations as well. Yelp is a great idea.

I appreciate anyone who puts pins out, but they should take care of them. I guess people can make up their own minds on whether or not they want to play them. Condition can change, and I hope people understand that it still might be worth a visit if you're in the area.
 
News from RGP and a comment on the map is that Tilt is gone. :( Moved to Carlsbad, but the pins did not make the trip.
 
Added Camelot Golfland in Anaheim has Austin Powers, TSPP, POTC, Rollercoaster Tycoon, and Monopoly.

There was a sign on the door that said "ALL GAMES FOR SALE" ...I called and asked if the pins were for sale and the girl was really snotty ...she's like "uh, I think he's gonna keep the pins because they're so valuable" ...I said "well, if they're working" ...she says "Uuuhh..what's THAT supposed to mean, of COURSE they're working...and they're worth over $4000!!!"

Bah, look...you either liquidate your shit or don't...don't bullshit me and tell me your dirty half-working route games are worth $4k.
