The Thousands

After some rough calculations, I recently established that I spent over $400 on pinball in the past 12 months.

In a sterling effort to exponentially increase that figure, I took myself on a highly enjoyable research tour of Sydney’s pinball-playing venues. Here are the fruits of my labour:

"Elvira – Scared Stiff" – Flinders Hotel, Darlinghurst
In my opinion the best all-round game in Sydney. Terror from the Crate!!!

"Johnny Mnemonic" - Windsor Hotel, CBD
Great for nerds, or Keanu Reeves fans.**"Lord of the Rings" – Courthouse, Newtown
Tantalisingly faint possibility of 84x jackpot. Plus it ties with THE SIMPSONS Party Pinball for most epic rule system.

"Addams Family" – Hopetoun Hotel, Surry Hills
A worthy tribute to the life and times of Raul Julia.

"Mars Attacks" – The Clare, Ultimo
Pinpoint accurate scientific simulation of mankind’s inevitable downfall.

"Austin Powers" – The Lansdowne, Chippendale
Features a life-size Mini Me. Well…not quite.
