I was surprised to find Simpsons Pinball Party at Tibbs Drive In instead of Austin Powers when I visited just a couple of weeks back. Unfortunately, we kind of did the old switch aroo to watch the best movies, and the times I went into the concession stand, Simpsons was occupied. (more…)

Too long in between tutorials, and it is completely my fault. But its finally time for part two of the re-stenciling your Ms. Pac-man tutorial. Wundercade has primed and painted his Ms. Pac-man and the cabinet looks beautiful so far. Let’s jump right in, starting with the tools you will need. (more…)

Found out last night that Shelby Bowl on Shelby street on the southside has a South Park pinball available for play. Check out the original ‘Play pinball in Indianapolis, Indiana‘ post for updated information.
