Yestercades in Red Bank, NJ – Metallica GC
If you are ever near Red Bank, New Jersey, stop by Yestercades.com. It is a retro arcade with lots of great videogames, pins and console games. All of them are on free play for a price of $8.95 per hour. While I was there, I played their Metallica and managed to put up the GC score through blind luck and some stacked multiballs.
I was at yestercades to drop off some videogames that were part of my purchase of an Iron Man. I’m looking forward to having you guys play it on league night. I will try to have a night to play before league night so it won’t be new to everyone on league night.
I asked the owner how the Metallica was doing in its first week. He checked the audit and showed me that it had already been played over 900 times.
Pinball Sites
Thanks to Taylor for getting this blog up and running. Hopefully, it will be a good spot for us to upload photos, videos, share high scores, sell and trade machines, share info on public machines, announce tournaments, update league standings and events and do anything else we want related to pinball.
To start, here are some of my favorites pinball sites:
pinside.com – for sale section and the best forum for everything that is going on in pinball
https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Pinball-Inventor/208420082535873 – this is a blog by John Popaduik who is a well known designer and is currently working on creating two new machines for his company Zidware
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Flippers-Variety-Arcade/216540371746349 – fantastic arcade in NC which has frequent tournaments
searchtempest.com – this is the craigslist engine that I use to keep up with local pinball sales
http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCx013tuhcEvj8pYUfcvtEOQ?feature=watch – richmond pinball league youtube channel – I am working on my camera set up so this will hopefully have more videos soon
papa.org – great resource for tutorial videos and updates on pinball happenings
pinballbash.com – good site with a forum for members. Mostly guys from nc and sc, but the forums are pretty lively and have good machines for sale from time to time. You have to request to be added as a member because of the volume of spam they receive.
Coming to a basement near you!
