US Pinball Spots Span Museums, Malls; Bar Planned
Retro gaming venues are drawing attention for their mix of classic arcade games and pinball. Seattle’s Pinball Museum offers machines spanning more than six decades on a single-admission, unlimited-play basis, while Allentown’s Back to the Arcade similarly lets visitors play classics such as Pac-Man and Donkey Kong for one flat price. In Springfield, Pennsylvania, Battle Royale Brewing Co. is preparing to open a retro-themed bar arcade with classic video games and pinball machines, all set to take quarters, alongside a selection of house-brewed beers. Separately, a look at standout 1980s pinball machines highlights the decade’s inventive designs and gameplay, including Taxi, whose objectives involve picking up themed passengers and completing a timed jackpot shot.
