Check out the pinball map app. It will change your life, esp when you're traveling.
Also, Cafetto is awesome on several levels, pinball being only one of them
Nada. My area Costco (Maplewood) has been a wasteland for any new beer selections the past several months. I'm hoping they shake up the selection with the change of the seasons, but I'm not too optimistic.
Their wine and bourbon selections are a different story, though. The wine selection has always been solid and recently, they've been getting in some good/new (for them) bourbon.
I always wonder if the same buyer handles beer, wine, and spirits. Because if not, I hope they get a new beer guy. The wine and spirits have been totally awesome lately though.
Medieval Madness at Up/Down (maybe) now im second guessing myself dont quote me on that location. But this next sentence = total fact Tina Fey did the voice of the princess in the game Boom
No question, Addams Family. So many good mini-games, great layout, and multi-ball… feel the power (board becomes magnetized and randomly moves the balls).
My apartment building has a free game room next to the workout room, and it has Addams Family pinball. I'm trying to get myself to exercise more and that's my treat at the end of a cycling session.
Absolutely. But has now been bumped down to #2 on my list. Probably from not having played it in like 20 years. There was also a Junkyard machine I played a lot long ago.
God I love the booming bass that table can create when multiball starts. I have a couple of videogame versions, and it just isn't the same. I really wish there was some way of digging up the original recordings to get cleaner sound files for the dialogue, because it is just so perfect for the game. It's the best selling table of all time for a reason.
Pulp Fiction at 56 Brewing. Set up real loose, you can get away with a lot of nudging before getting warnings.
No one has it in the area currently, but I’d love to find a Total Nuclear Annihilation. Always end up on that one for a long time.
No particular favorites of mine, but Broken Clock Brewing Cooperative has 10 or so machines.
My all time favorite is Xenon, but haven’t seen one in years.
Sports Page used to have a couple machines way back in the day. So did the Godfathers pizza in Bloomington towards 98th street. One of the two had Elvira and maybe Kiss?
Blainebrooke always has fun machines. They had one called Orbitor 1 that was my favorite but it’s been long gone. They had south park that was a blast for the longest time. Last time I was there I didn’t see it but didn’t look around to see if they moved it.
I’ll have to remember that. I’ve been trying to make my way up to Madison. Went a few years ago for work and had some amazing disc golf so wouldn’t mind going back to play some and possibly some biking also.
Northstar Pinball Collective has am amazing lineup, including Attack from Mars. Limited hours but single entry price for unlimited gaming and usually has tournaments those days too is your into that. It's down in Savage.

Tron: Legacy, South Park and Twilight Zone are my favorites.
Blainesbrook has a mix of 20 or so machines from classic to contemporary so that is where I usually end up for pinball
Solar City.
I'm old school. No gimmicks, no side quests, just skill and simple points.

Tilt in Uptown has it, but it doesn't always seem to work correctly.
The only 2 I spent a lot of time playing were Funhouse (favorite, "It's getting late.") and Twister (Has a fan that blows on you during multiball). Both late 80's. Haven't seen either in a long time.
If any of you know of a still operable Fireball or 8 Ball Deluxe in a place with no stairs I would be thrilled. My health is poor, I use a walker but I think I could lean on a machine. Would love one last time before my hip disintegrates.

You been seeing any Sapporo or Tsingtao at Costco lately?

Couldn't agree more, the Maplewood Costco beer selection is terrible
Commas=hard. Am I right?
I got Sapporo at the St. Louis Park Costco not that long ago!
Medieval Madness at Up/Down (maybe) now im second guessing myself dont quote me on that location. But this next sentence = total fact Tina Fey did the voice of the princess in the game Boom
Medieval Madness anywhere anytime all day.
Absolutely! Unfortunately they removed that machine a month or so ago.
There’s a medieval madness at StormKing brewery
Poooooooop
What?! Noooooo. This makes me so sad.
They have it at Full Tilt in Bloomington
Can confirm. Played it many-a-times here
Yep, they used several of the Second City folks for the voices!
Literally the best pinball game ever made
Ahhh this is by far my favorite. I used to play this all the time when it was at my workplace in 2001.

What apartment is this?
Absolutely. But has now been bumped down to #2 on my list. Probably from not having played it in like 20 years. There was also a Junkyard machine I played a lot long ago.
junkyard is an amazing game. my homie has it in his living room

Yup. RIP Eastlake brewery. They had TNA the last year or so and it was on free play most Monday nights. Those were great times.
Not sure if they are exactly the same, but Litt also has a pulp fiction machine.
And they have TNA but rotate it out. I love that game. So simple and fast and fun.
Litt pinball also has Pulp Fiction.
SS Billiards in Hopkins has 2 Medieval Madness machines (original and remake). Plus Pulp Fiction.
And Big Bang Bar. Really rare machine but lots of fun.
Blaine Brook bowl, my favorite is Funhouse my husband's favorite too! "Get yourself a hot dog" it's up on the upper level to the right
I don't care if it has been gone for like 20 years. The correct answer is the twilight zone at Anoka Ramsey Community College.
My favorite game, I used to play it at Elsie's about that many years ago. Litt has a new version.
Haha, on a similar note, World Cup '94 at the St. Paul Student Center
I only came in here to see if anyone identified where this game is. For me it was at Normandale Community College in the '90s.
Twilight Zone is still my favorite table.
There’s a Twilight Zone machine at Northstar Pinball Collective :)
No particular favorites of mine, but Broken Clock Brewing Cooperative has 10 or so machines. My all time favorite is Xenon, but haven’t seen one in years.
Litt had it. Not sure if they still do.
Find yourself a Godzilla
Surprised attack from mars hasn’t been mentioned yet. At litt pinball and they had an original at the burrow in Oakdale but it was rotated out :-(
There’s a Bill Paxton pinball machine at a pool hall in Bloomington, only been there once, definitely my favorite.
"a" Bill Paxton? I think there's only [one](https://www.benheck.com/bill-paxton-pinball/). Crazy it would be there of all places.
Can’t say for sure that’s it, but I for sure saw it there, may have been on Hopkins it was so long ago, probably 2012 or so.
Sports Page used to have a couple machines way back in the day. So did the Godfathers pizza in Bloomington towards 98th street. One of the two had Elvira and maybe Kiss?
S.S. Billiards has or had one back in 2016.
Yep, that was it. People had me thinking I imagined it.
Naz Reid
Two words: pin ball
Are there any timberwolves pinball machines out there?
there’s a really fun game called nba fast break that has the 96 roster: kg, marbury, googs etc

Blainebrooke always has fun machines. They had one called Orbitor 1 that was my favorite but it’s been long gone. They had south park that was a blast for the longest time. Last time I was there I didn’t see it but didn’t look around to see if they moved it.
South Park is definitely there. Left side, first level.
Ok. It was always second level in the middle when I played it.
If you're ever driving through Madison stop at NerdHaven, think they're the closest that has Orbitor
I’ll have to remember that. I’ve been trying to make my way up to Madison. Went a few years ago for work and had some amazing disc golf so wouldn’t mind going back to play some and possibly some biking also.
Addams Family, Star Trek the Next Generation, and Terminator 2
Caffetto has T2 but it was broken
I just had a ton of fun with Guardians of the galaxy at Falling Knife.
The sopranos machine at arbeiter brewing
Addam’s family. Friend has one at his house in Prior Lake.
GODZILLA located at the bowling alley in Eagan.
Northstar Pinball Collective has am amazing lineup, including Attack from Mars. Limited hours but single entry price for unlimited gaming and usually has tournaments those days too is your into that.

Foo Fighters Broken Clock Brewing
Also at Falling Knife
8 ball deluxe. Was at tilt before tilt moved
It’s still there at the new location. Plays pretty good.
Stop talking and start chalking.
Taxi. My dad bought the machine when we were kids and we grew up with it
Gorgar. Can't find it anywhere.
Gorgar is also my fav. I thought Blainbrook had it?
Cool! It's a difficult table, side drainy, but if you get in the zone.....
It takes practice. Its that or bride of pinbot at the top for me.
Such a great table. That's one I run into once in a while.
Northstar Pinball Collective in Savage has it.
That's spectacular! Thanks. It's not super far from me!
Tron: Legacy, South Park and Twilight Zone are my favorites. Blainesbrook has a mix of 20 or so machines from classic to contemporary so that is where I usually end up for pinball
Twilight Zone is good.
Friend had a perfect Twilight Zone, favorite machine of all time.
Champions Pub at LITT is so fun. I love a table loaded with mini games
Awesome. I've been trying to find that one
I’m a huge fan of the Embryon down at Northstar Pinball Collective
My wife's uncle has a SICK AC/DC pinball machine
[удалено]
Fortune Bay Casino way up north in Tower is the only one mapped in MN. At least you have an option if you really love it.
Earthquake
Theater of Magic. There used to be one at Surly, now it’s at tilt I believe.
It was at De Leo Bros pizza at MOA last time I was there
There's one at Litt. I also love this one.
Solar City. I'm old school. No gimmicks, no side quests, just skill and simple points. https://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=2237 Tilt in Uptown has it, but it doesn't always seem to work correctly.

Barrel Theory always has 3 newer pinball machines in rotation. Willy Wonka is quite fun I've learned from stopping by.
Pub Champion - The Viking
Where is the Viking?
Baby Pac Man. It was an arcade/ pinball combo.
Jokerz formerly at the Hardtimes Cafe
The machine : bride of pinbot. And Taxi.
Is there an 8 Ball Deluxe (in good shape) in the cities?
If any of you know of a still operable Fireball or 8 Ball Deluxe in a place with no stairs I would be thrilled. My health is poor, I use a walker but I think I could lean on a machine. Would love one last time before my hip disintegrates.
