New Jersey Pinball Museum
 

Excellent column by Paul Lukas at ESPN about Asbury Park, NJ Pinball Museum. Seth linked it at Equidaily because of a horse racing theme game that the Museum houses, and there is video of it in action.

Cool stuff. I was a pinball junkie back in the day. No one can beat me on the old Williams "Cyclone". "get yourself a hot dog" :o

Asbury is on its way back. Gentrification is a slow process but they've really made strides the last few years.

best mid-70's games:

1)fireball
2)king kool
3)fantastic (not to be confused with the elton john themed captain fantastic)

i'd love to visit this place although it looks a little too clean. i used to skip classes in high school to play in the seedy parlor across the street. authentic pinball should only be played somewhere that you'd be a little embarrassed to be seen at.

I haven't been to Asbury Park in a long time. I've got to look this place up.
