I hate that moment when you realize you're a 30 year old man standing in the middle of the Disney store and you don't actually have any kids.

I don't see a problem with this. Embrace your inner child.

I've only been in there once. Had a quick stroll around it a few weeks ago when I was passing it, went downstairs to have a look at the pinball machine and it wasn't working.

I was just going to ask about downtime on it, who is there in this country to maintain them?

WHAT?! WHY WAS I NOT INFORMED?!

Tomo.Murphy

There's an upstairs section??

o1s1n

Upstairs has a princess section where you can try out dresses. They even have a magic mirror. You'll love it.






(I know this as a friend of mine used to work there!)

Tomo.Murphy

How did I live my life without knowing about the princess section??

I feel like my life up until this point has been a lie...

Don't worry we only have one cross dresser 'round these parts.

AHERM.

Do some of you guys have a hyperlink to that photo saved on your desktop or something? The speed at which it is often accessed is quite impressive..

Not strictly on topic, But has anyone ever played the MAME cab in the R.A.G.E. ?
The screen is in bits, the sticks are ****ed and the buttons aren't mapped properly
I was looking forward to a few rounds of SFA2 while my mate was getting stuff in there but it was almost unusable.

EDIT: probably worth mentioning that the new ish BASE bowling place in Celbridge has a few games.
Ford Racing 2 , some bike game, the rambo lightgun game, some prize grabbers, and maybe a DDR machine.
I can't remember fully as it has been about a year since I was there, some other stuff may have been added.
No candy cabs yet

Yeah I've mentioned it to them a few times but I think they're renting it from whoever built it so I'm not sure they'd have the skillset to sort it out themselves.

Tomo.Murphy

I was talking to them about it in the summer when I was in there.

My impression was that it's there as an advertisement for the guy who builds them.

Never played it myself, though the screen is quite dark and I'm pretty sure I lost some hair and sweat 5lbs while checking out the megadrive games, ha.

Spotted this while game chasing this weeke... sorry... "bringing fiona on a romantic weekend" around Clare

CathalDublin

Powered off and all, you should have made an offer!

BGOllie

did. but it wasn't for sale. It still works, they just had it switched off for the match

stayed in a dodgy coastal motel in Connecticut last week and they had this , all working. Metal slug and some other fighting game combo :


Stopped at a guy's private antique store by the side of the road and he had this for sale at the back. I got the guys from Retroware on it to try and salvage them

Got to play some games in San Francisco a few weeks back at the start of my Holidays
Went to the Musée Mécanique,
crazy collection of coin op and vids,but mostly older coin op.
Played a good few pins.

Pirates of the Caribbean,
Williams Indiana jones ,
Williams hyperball (this sucks!!)
Gottlieb strikes and spares

Stumbled across a place called Brewcade too.
Played the new Stern Kiss and Williams firepower!

I presume you went to the Pacific Pinball Museum also?

I was there on a stop over for work for 6 hours, jetlagged stumbling around, got to pier 39 alright.
Damn should have got to Musee Mechanique.
