I recognise the place in EP7, the one with the "suicide" champion in it. The clouds give it away. Not that I was ever a regular. |

'Body English' Ilike that. can't remember what we called it but that was definitely the secret to good pinball.
Nothing like that 'pop' sound when a free game is won. a mate of mine was so good on our local pinball, we could cover the score and he would tell us what he had racked up.

Wonderful! Great to see this culture acknowledged and celebrated.
Gaming today is mainstream. 60% NZ households have a console. 55% mobile and online gamers are female. The average age is 33.
.. but it all started in places like these.
