Pinball at the Ocean City Boardwalk - Hollywood Arcade had a few good ones, Power Arcade had a TZ, Funhouse, PinbotBOTM, but the motherlode is Jilly's Arcade. I saw TOM, FG, AF, MM, LOTR, and about 10 others worth playing. I could spend a few hours there just playing pinball.

Jilly's at Ocean City always has the biggest lineup of pinball machines. They ususally are in sad shape though....did they seem to play good?

This is my experience as well.

BTW, there is also an arcade at 34th St in Ocean City, and I recall that one having a few pins as well.

I only got a chance to play a few games because the wife was giving me the stinkeye, but they were all a little rough, it's true. The Theater of Magic played reasonably well, although the right flipper was sticking a bit and the slingshots were very weak. The Medieval Madness, which is the only one I have seen in the wild for years, had a lot of playfield wear around the flippers and the pop bumpers were not firing. The SpiderMan was out of order.

OTOH, at Power Arcade, there was a working Stargate Defender - the only one I've seen in an arcade since the late 80s.

I'll have to check that one out. Any idea what it's called?

If I recall correctly, it is called the Aquaport, and it's a few blocks off the beach at 34th and Asbury. Kind of diagonally across from the playground.
