ARCADE PICS, ARCADE PICS! Today my family somehow had nothing to do so we made an impromptu trip to Asbury Park, NJ...home of the famous Silverball Museum. I’m not doing a full review of it because I’ve done one before, but here’s the Cliff’s Notes version (do those things still exist?) - it’s Awesome. There’s so many games at Silverball that there’s no way to play them all in one trip. Today’s most played pinball machines (for us) were Evel Kinevel EM (the rare version), Whitewater, Cactus Canyon (a really nice one with the Continued code and a Color DMD), Banzai Run, Close Encounters EM and Farhom. We played several games on each and a few others. I managed to take a bunch of pictures for everyone’s viewing pleasure. Enjoy!
