Whenever I see articles in a non-pinball specific medium that are covering pinball, I am going to promote those articles on this site.

Colorado Hometown Weekly Business promotes Tilt Pinball in Louisville.

“In a gaming world based on the latest and greatest in technology, the Tilt! Pinball arcade is breaking the mold.

Operating on the motto, “Where it’s always 1978,” the scene inside Tilt! Pinball is three parts nostalgia, one part history lesson. And so far the formula is appealing to all ages.”

Northwest Public Radio covers the Northwest Pinball and Arcade Show in Tacoma, Washington.

“When you first walk in to the annual Northwest Pinball and Arcade Show in Tacoma, you’re greeted by a wall of sound. It’s the loud rocket-engine hum of hundreds of people, pinball machines and arcade cabinets.”

“… pinball offers a physical experience those can’t. And it also offers a chance to explore American history.”

Danny Daly at Game Room Essentials, Gepps Cross.

The Courier Mail details how a pinball enthusiast and business owner recovered from a damaging theft.

“Someone who had a key to the building I was renting stole four pinball machines, seven arcade machines, a jukebox – it totally destroyed me,” Mr Daly said.

Now, thanks to the support of the gaming community and construction company Bianco, Mr Daly is back and bigger than ever.

GameRoom Essentials, housed in an unused Gepps Cross office building that Mr Daly rents from Bianco at a discount rate, is now home to 37 pinball machines – Australia’s largest publicly accessible collection.
