As someone who's been to a million arcades over the years, I LOVE coming across games that I don't normally see on location. The Multimorphic P3 pinball machine is certainly one of them. I can count on one hand the number of times that I've come across one in the wild. I first saw the machine and its initial game, Lexi Lightspeed, at Pittsburgh's Replay FX Convention back when it first came out years ago. Fast forward to today and Multimorphic is cranking out as many P3s as they possibly can to eagerly awaiting customers. But where can you play one to see what it's like? I know that awesome The Pinball Gallery arcade in Malvern, PA and Cointaker's cool arcade in Sunbury, PA have it in their lineups. I've heard that there's a P3 at the North End Pub in West Lafayette, IN but I haven't been there yet. I'm sure that there's a few others out there (if you know of one, please mention it in the comments), but there isn't many. So I was thrilled to find out that there's now one on location in Colorado. Dave Gauthier, recently opened a brand new pinball section at the Living the Dream Brewery in Littleton, Colorado. For me, it doesn't get much better than a brewery with pinball. Check out this pinball lineup!... Avengers: Infinity Quest (Premium) (Stern, 2020) Deadpool (Pro) (Stern, 2018) Godzilla (Pro) (Stern, 2021) Guns N' Roses (LE) (Jersey Jack, 2020) The Mandalorian (Pro) (Stern, 2021) Rush (Pro) (Stern, 2022) Stranger Things (Pro) (Stern, 2019) Weird Al's Museum of Natural Hilarity (Multimorphic, 2022) Fantastic, right? They are hoping to get more modules for the P3 in the future, so while Weird Al is in it now they will be able to easily swap it out for something else to keep things fresh. Variety is the spice of life with arcades, so it's awesome that they can change games on the fly like that with the P3. As an added bonus, they put up a screen that shows the Insider Connected location leaderboards for the brewery. Add in lots of board games, a Big Buck Hunter, tons of awesome beer on tap and food trucks and I'll definitely be paying a visit to Living the Dream on my next trip to Colorado.
