  1. It's a pinball machine, nothing more nothing less
    It's cute. I guess I thought it would be a little bigger, but it doesn't matter so much. Now I'm just writing to fill up space.

What is the name of this 80s pinball machine?

When I was a kid, I remember going to the Circus Pizza at the Ridgedale Mall where they had this one pinball machine that creeped me out cause it had a very very deep voice that said something like "Destroy Megatron" or something close...


The only machine that comes to mind with Giger-like artwork from the 1980s is Space Invaders. (Yes, there was a Space Invaders pinball machine.) But I don't think it had speech. "Gorgar" might be a possibility; it was the first talking pinball -- its entire vocabulary

Parents Talk: Rules May be Made to be Broken—Sometimes

Toothbrushes, check.

Swimsuits, check.

Sunscreen, check.

My four kids are packed for a week away from mom and dad. They aren’t going to just any summer camp though. This is Camp Grandma.

We drive to my hometown where the kids will spend a week with my 69-year-old mother.  She lives in Iowa, but it might as well be Siberia. The culture is a bit different at Grandma J’s.

There’s no Internet, Xbox or even air conditioning.  

Bedtime is flexible. Bathing is optional. Wrestling is allowed in the house.  

Simply put, there aren’t a lot of rules—which is frustrating to a mother who is trying to keep her children under control. And bathing regularly.

“Rules are for morons,” Grandma J likes to say. “To protect them from doing something stupid.”

Next week I’ll ask the kids what they did at grandma’s, but I won’t expect to get much information. What happens at grandma’s, stays at grandma’s.

Rockbrat Remembers: rock n roll and pinball machines « The ...

Rock n roll and the flashing lights of pinball, were two very large components of my youth – and also adulthood (when I could find a machine that is). Playing a pinnie with a can of coke resting nearby whilst the jukebox cranked some Kiss, Stones or other rock tunage was all I ever needed. Check the original video of the Rose Tattoo track Rock n Roll Outlaw and you will see…….teenage kids playing pinball ! Even back in the late 50′s, kids in cafes across America were slurping sodas and playing pinball whilst Elvis, Little Richard and Co blared from the jukebox. It was a generational thing and anyway you look at it, pinball was cool. Make no mistake folks, the young Mr Rockbrat – sure as hell played a mean pinball. I feel genuine pity for today’s kids who are bombarded with so many choices of entertainment  – most of which are not a pinch on the simpler, carefree days of pinball. “But the iPad can grab a pinball app !” I hear you cry. Yeah well you can stick your iPad up your clacker bud, cos it just ain’t that same. Now before I tilt the machine it is important to acknowledge that rock and pinball went hand in hand ! They were made for eachother and I can recall seeing several machines dedicated to a particular musician or artist. Obviously the Kiss pinball by Bally would be the most well-known rock pinnie. To think that these highly sought after Kiss collectables sat unwanted in dusty garages and warehouses in the mid 80′s, as the wave of video games sadly swept pinball aside. There was something very special about the Kiss pinball. I think most young Kiss disciples like me were mesmerized by the lights, suonds and cool band images. Skill wise, it was quite a simple game but I’ll never forget gazing up at that 1977-era back board image and being enthralled by the whole experience. The 1978 solo album artwork adourns much of this machine....

Carnival Game Operator: Playland-Not-at-the-Beach Opportunity ...

Playland-Not-at-the-Beach has several areas where guests (children through senior citizens) play challenging carnival games, penny arcade devices and pinball machines. As they play, guests win tickets, and then later they trade in their accumulated tickets for prizes. It is similar to a redemption family fun center except it is all free. Our goal is to give away as many prizes as possible by teaching the kids the skills to win the games. There is Skeeball, Bowler Roller, Coin Toss and over 30 pinball machines all set on Free Play.

We need volunteers to run the games and coach the kids on winning. Part of the fun is also awarding the prizes. We adjust the rules according to the skill levels of the guests, so that everybody is challenged but no one walks away feeling frustrated or defeated.

Outgoing and positive personality: Must have a love of children, a pleasant personality, and the ability to applaud and...
