Now I won't have to hunt others down. : >

They are easy ones...not a lot of tilt to em..they play long...have fun

I fuckin love pinball machines, the reason why this place is in my top 10 places to goto alone next month as not played pinball in a cs since my first trip a good 10 years ago as not been able to find 1 since lol.

Will do! Yeah they are gentle machines that you can bump and shake and enjoy long play - just like i remember. definitely had a brief moment of panic when I thought they might have been removed. I mourn the day Siberie removed their machine.

Couple years ago, playing at kadinsky's we met and played with Renee Van Gool (RVG - top name on almost every machine in the city)
pretty much the king of pinball in europe. He is a most awesome player, like watching a master tickle and smooth talk the machine. He conceded he would just play for fun with us, otherwise we would probably get bored and never get to play as he can play one ball for 60 minutes, when he is serious! Truely inspiring. Great fun.

It's the little things - the freedom to be in a public space, smoke weed, play pinball, connect with awesome individuals....
The foundation for a perfect vacation, for me and the mate.

Nice. Also love pinball. I'm at the level where I'm disappionted if I don't get a reply every other play. Would be cool to see how a real top class player plays the game like the guy you mention.

As far as coffeeshop pinball not seen a lot of machines around. Probably due to space issues.

Used to play the Twilight Zone one at Bluebird but it had a weak flipper which made it even more difficult than normal. Will be paying Spirit a visit for some play one evening this late July.

Anyone know what machines they have in right now?

Compared to his ability
I looked like I was a blind and armless opponent : >

there are a number of machines in Amsterdam between 70 and 85 ( depending if they are functional or not - and certainly not all in coffeeshops)
Just have to hunt them down. Google helps.

Btw Mellow yellow has a machine or 2 . But if it is a hot and steamy day, best to avoid.
