    The game with a ton of drop targets in the Time Warp cabinet is called "Chief Bank-a-Flip Galactic Poker Dice". It's a home brew made by Duncan Brown sometime in the 80s I believe. If you want details, you can check out TOPCast episode #58 where Clay interviews Duncan.

    As someone who works at an arcade please don’t just play one ball and leave it with a ball in the chamber it drains so much more electricity (heard him mention some guy would do that regularly and some people who come in set all the games up with a ball in the chamber thinking they are helping but are just making the machine use more energy sitting while not in use)

    That label at 1:03:28 is the arcade operator name and address: that machine comes from Sanremo, a city in the Mediterranean coast of Liguria, in northwestern Italy. I have a little summer vacation home very close to that place, and I probably have phoned the guys in the past looking for pinball machines for my collection 🤭So strange to see it in the USA!

    • @pinballshenanigans

    • @catoblepag
      @catoblepag ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@pinballshenanigans Oh, very far - Sanremo is in the north, Curinga in the south of Italy 😉 Nice to know you have some italian heritage! Zaccaria was in Bologna, yes, and while it stopped making pins, it's still the largest arcade distributor in my country (changed the name in Technoplay, but last time I've checked it was still owned by the Zaccaria family). Pinball in Italy has always been quite a big deal, we love it!

    I remember the time when they would require one to be triple (you know what) in order to enter venues which was an absolute ridiculous requirement. Now we see many of those people having serious problems. Makes me sad how people would comply.
