S1ckH4ndsRBN tours Past Times Arcade in Girard, Ohio. It’s the host of the upcoming Steel City Mega Match Play Tournament, one of the new Stern Pro Circuit Events for this year to be held March 27 – 29, 2026. It’s part of Pinball Expo Founder Rob Berk’s Guinness World Record setting pinball collection.

Check out why this place could easily support a Circuit Event or any other major pinball championship and still have space for party rooms at the same time.

Whenever I get to visit, by the time I leave I can’t help but think i just visited a pinball hall of fame. We need a nickname for Past Times Arcade that is not “Pinball Hall of Fame”, because another place has that already. It needs to be as recognizable and meaningful as that “PHOF” term, so people can know the magnitude of what this place is, especially when you describe it to other pinball fans.

Saying “Huge arcade with an unbelievable number of pinball and arcade games, of which nearly all of them work well, including a building-wide, double-sided row of international games, and a big supply of backup games that can get subbed out when one in the showroom needs a replacement, and it will take you multiple days to play them all, and there is also food there” doesn’t work well enough.

The closest I could get is that many will recognize what The Hollywood Walk of Fame is when it’s mentioned. Therefore, may I suggest giving Past Times the moniker “The Pinball Walk of Fame“?
