I still need to hit Cactus Jack's, which has been converted into a pinball hall and apparently has 20-30 machines so far. FULL REPORT NEXT WEEKEND.
Also, I have several friends in ABQ who are retro gamers -- if you're looking for a list of places to hit, I can get one.
OH -- if you have a couple of hours to kill, go see STARTUP at the museum. They have, among other things, a PDP-11 that you can play Space War on, an Apple I, and a whole bunch of Microsoft memorabilia. If you hate it I will refund you the admission price.

Also:
The bar has some good beer though.
Lol. There's like four machines, one of them is off, and the flippers don't work on two of the other ones.Ice Cream Jonsey wrote: Tenpins & More At Rio Rancho

I don't have to say anything. I'm a doctor, too.

Thanks, Flack. You are very helpful, unlike Pinback who is trying to keep me at his dog museum for 23 hours a day.

Based on what I found online, the museum is not dog-friendly but at least two of the local bowling alleys are.
Unfortunately we visited the STARTUP exhibit with the kids and I wasn't able to spend as much time there as I wanted, but it was pretty darn awesome.
The pictures I took start on page 8 of this album and go through page 10 -- if you don't make it out to the museum, feel free to use anything found here:

Re: Albuquerque Pinball Project
Why the hell would anyone wanting to at least have some ability to play a pinball machine go to a bar to drink? :)pinback wrote:The bar has some good beer though.
It's probably not people friendly either. Wasn't his last place right on the ocean near a cliff to make it easier to throw unwanted visitors over the edge? His video was so bad it's hard to tell.Ice Cream Jonsey wrote:That's OK. Pinback's house isn't dog-friendly either.
