It was not the main reason I was done but I am glad it took place when I was down there. Since I was wearing the Manitoba Pinball League shirt several people asked if I came down from Manitoba for the launch party. Had a great time at Tilt Pinball Bar for the Deadpool Launch Party. Being a causal fan of both teams whenever someone would cheer I would trap the ball and watch the highlight. It was a fun experience since half the bar was cheering for Green Bay and the other half cheering for Minnesota. I was able to get quite a few games in as most people were watching the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings play.

In addition to the stuff for entering the games were on free play for the duration of the tournament. The front of the shirt and the coin wallet The back of the shirt There was a Deadpool Launch Shirt and a Tilt Pinball Bar coin wallet. The launch party also had some special goodies for people who registered. I wish I could have brought it home to Manitoba. If I had some time to practice on the machines I might have done better. Next game I played not in the tournament was 55 Million. So many people showed up so I only got one game in with a score of 11 million there was no chance to move on. The format was you get two games best score counted then top 8 would playoff in a one strike tournament. Once I realized I would miss the launch party I checked the Tilt Pinball Bar website and they had a launch party on Sunday September 16. The temperatures were 35 for the weekend so that did not go as planned. The idea was to head down in September for the Renaissance Festival when it was a little cooler than summer. The trip was planned in April so there was no way to change the date of the vacation. They're also open business hours as an authorized dealer for several manufacturers so you can start your own pinball collection.I was away on vacation in Minneapolis so I missed the Deadpool Launch Party here. They are working on permits to offer food and drink, currently they have vending machines and a separate group meeting room. And you don't have to keep buying tokens just to 'earn' tickets to trade for plastic stuff that breaks on the drive home.Ĭurrently in Fall 2018 they open one weekend a month with a $12 admission for all day/free play, with re-entry privileges.

Great place for families, they have step stools for the younglings. The video games don't go back to Asteroids, but start with color scrollers (which actually is pretty far back.) Didn't see any Bally's on the play floor. The pinballs were modern, with larger flippers and all kinds of ramps. I was impressed with the sheer number of games.

It's one part museum, one part pinball sales, and a thousand parts memorabilia. New business with an amazing collection of hundreds of pinball and video games, in a warehouse with the walls covered with huge collections of toys, action figures, board games, lunch boxes, record albums. I really feel like this place is very under the radar but sooner or later the word is going to spread and it'll be had to get in. I never in my life thought I'd beat Michael Jackson's Moonwalker with a bunch of friends while along the way deciding we had to dance every time someone hit the dance button, but here we are. You can just find that game you never beat as a kid and knock it out just because. I felt I could actually ENJOY the games and appreciate them more without worrying how many rolls of quarters I could would go through.

There's also something psychologically calming about a cover price and then all games are free.

We spent five hours here and felt like we could've kept going. I really feel like it's a matter of time before the price HAS to go up and I would be OK with that considering the bang for your buck. I am not a huge pinball fan but it was really cool playing some of the older games like Bobby Orr's hockey in their simplicity and then working your way through the progression to newer games with their bells and whistles (literally). The size? Bigger and better layout than Ground Kontrol downtown and a really awesome selection of pinball and video games.
