Pinball Wizard
Sometimes you just gotta say "What the fuck".
Instead of wasting some rare free time from lifework by sleeping,drinking,or
watching Dave Chappelle (all acceptable choices). Krude took a drive to the Silverball
Pinball Museum in Asbury Park,New Jersey. Silverball is most probably the
only arcade on Earth that houses vintage coin op pinball and video games.With
flat prices to play all the games without being weighed down quarters or
tokens. Good deal.
The first thing that will hit you as you walk into
Silverball is the familiar smell of old,overused deep fry oil. When an arcade
has a snack bar (like Silverball),the smell of a 1.8 million French fries
served will automatically be present.Mixed with the smell of the Asbury Park boardwalk
and beach.No cigarette smoke though. That's kinda odd when playing pinball. And
no booze. Didn't expect it to be available,but had to ask anyway.
All sorts of vintage to modern day pinball games are housed
at Silverball. With a bunch of vintage arcade amusements and video games. With
it only costing $15 to play in the arcade for half a day,trying out all the
machines is the order of the day. Krude observation:The older the
pinball machine,the less fun it is to play. All the pre 1970's pinball machines
were more fun to look at than play. The old school baseball machine has always
been a Krude favorite. The newest pinball machines made by Jersey Jack
were awesome. The Wizard of Oz and The Hobbit were JJ's recent machine builds.
Perfect mix of smooth game play and modern day entertainment. Best games in the
arcade.
Getting to play super rare pinball machines was a real
treat. The Evel Knievel machine may have been the rarest (I don't remember
seeing it in the 70's). But what made the Evel machine so special were the
chicks that greet you on the game board. Inviting smiles and firm nipples,in
cartoon form. Excellent.
So if you're ever in NJ and need an indoor activity to do
that doesn't involve alcohol or consensual sex,check out the Silverball
Museum Arcade. And on your way in or out of Asbury Park, feel free to stop
at Discount Liquors Warehouse. Excellent selection of bottom shelf delights as
well as the usual booze fare. Krude approved.
Thank you Dr.Rick Lubitz. Your passion for pinball is
now for everybody's enjoyment. You rule!
