I'm gonna guess Bally Time Zone

Actually no, definitely a Bally EM (score reels on the backglass), so 1972~76. Either one of the Bally two-player EMs or a four-player with the lower score reels covered up. Looks like part of the two exposed reels are covered (only showing 3 digits?)

dimensions and coin door say a Bally EM or early solid state (1972-1983) with a wrap and alternate backglass, without seeing the playfield that's all I got.

One of my favorites! Art is by Gerry Simkus who unfortunately only did a handful of machines over a couple years, couldn't find anything else about them after that. pinside.com/pinball/mach...

fair enough, especially on EMs that deviate far enough away from the standard italian bottom that muscle memory actively works against you (I'm lookin at you, baby flippers that back up to a midlane drain)

Nice - I went with PinballY without trying X since it was open source but they use the same configuration/backend file structure from what I understand. Either one is better than Popper imo.

the engine is apparently designed for "optimal" physics at 60fps, but if you don't have a problem you don't have a problem :) I cap at 60 in game and use framegen for 120+ on systems that can handle that. Apparently specific tables have some issues at higher framerates www.reddit.com/r/PinballFX3...

Pinup Popper to PinballY?

this kicks ass

It's not skilled vs unskilled, just, different sets of skills - small example, Northwest Pinball Champs 2025, Escher Leskoff was top qualifying in both Open and Classics; Raymond Davidson and Jack Slovacek were top 5 in both. www.neverdrains.com/nwpc2025/pla...

some spots (LITT in Minneapolis is the first that comes to mind) have cameras facing the playfield to display on the monitor above the backbox

The mystery of the Les Schwab pinball machine: how a tire company prop ended up in an Astoria arcade The custom game, featuring plastic “free beef” steaks and company slogans, can be played at Galactix arcade on the Oregon coast.

This is the kind of quirky, insightful, distinctly Oregon bit of whimsy that only @editorswindler.bsky.social can deliver.

pinball people are (generally) very chill, you should do it (i've been playing badly in tournaments for about a year and have upgraded to playing badly in league)

"I don't think we're gonna get a lot of rocket scientists outta this group of hogs" and
"They'll probably get jobs under a new Elon company named PRÆT0RYN" is very slight

Ah ah ah... You can't do them *well*

I've never let that stop me. Get flippin!

I think it's as anti-colonial as you could expect from the source but i think the perception of politics in shows is a mirror so 🤷 I haven't seen the third but if they do the current movie thing of "the extremist 'villain' is making too much sense time for their inexplicable war crimes" that'd track
