Man, this is so cool to see some of those old games. I was a teen in the late 60’s early 70s. I loved pinball. I never got into the early video games as much, though, like pac man, etc. I recognize a lot of those you have.
Pinball is addicting. Bars used to have them along with a pool table.
That place is in Colorado Springs? Maybe Manitou Springs? I’d love to find that. I live near the border of NM, in Trinidad. I’d love to get the name of it if you don’t mind. I go up there on occasion. thx

Yeah, it was a simpler time. No internet, no cell phones. As much as I love the advancements we have made I think they have driven humanity backwards in some ways.

Thank you man! Now I have a destination the next time I have to go up. I still haven’t driven into the heart of Manitou Springs. I’ve gone right by it on the way up to South Park. It looks like a cool place from the pics I’ve seen. I can’t remember the last time I played a pinball machine with flippers and all, lol. I’m sure pot first, will make me feel like I’m right back in the '70s!

Another game that induced compulsion.
Played at small pachinko halls in Japan. (My Dad was stationed at Yakota AFB for 3 yrs.)
First Pinball was Orlando Fl. 1969.

Nice, always wanted to visit Japan, please looks really nice.
Yeah, me too. They have taken away much of the cool stuff from my childhood.
