Hi everyone!
Some of you know me, most of you do not, soooo....
My real name is Steve.
I own a game store in downtown Toronto called Meeplemart.
It is located at 247 Spadina Ave, Lower Level, Toronto, ON
(It is on Spadina between Dundas and Queen underneath the giant TD Bank).
Our website with contact information and hours is; www.meeplemart.com
We have set up a pinball arcade within the store with 35+ games.
Since it is in a game/ pop culture store, the machines being offered are generally pins that have a relevant theme associated with the products we sell and the IP's our customers are familiar with.
The creation of this arcade has 2 objectives;
-To offer the highest quality machines to the pinball enthusiast
-To introduce pinball to the "next" generation (20-30 year olds)
I would estimate that 90+% of our customers either do not even know what a pinball machine is or have no idea how to really play them.
99% of them have no idea that pinball machines even have rule sets; they just think you randomly hit the ball to randomly score points.
We want to change that and teach/ show people what they are all about. (Because I think they are awesome!)
Please be aware that none of my staff know anything about pinball either, so it will all be new to them as well.
Play will be token based;
Pinball: 1 Token= 1 Play
eXa-Arcadia, Neo Geo; 1 Token = 2 Credits/ Plays
Token pricing will be;
$1: 1 Token
$10: 11 Tokens
$20: 23 Tokens
Machines will be on default settings with extra balls, replays and match all enabled.
Tilt sensitivity will be set high. The machines are simply too expensive to be thrown about and we will have a zero tolerance policy towards any players abusing the pins.
All machines have various upgrades; including shakers, toppers, side armour, art blades, custom shooter rods, pinstadiums, pinsounds, mods, powered subs etc.
Insider Connected is enabled.
As we are a retail store constantly battling shoplifting, please be aware that we have a "no bags" policy in the store, so if you are coming in with a bag/ purse/ back pack/ lap top bag etc, you will have to leave it at the front counter (where our staff will secure it behind the counter). All areas of the store are under video surveillance so don't worry, your bag is safe. You can also store your jackets at the front counter as well during the colder months.
For those of you coming from out of town, there is a parking lot behind our store that only charges $5 for all day parking on Saturdays/ Sundays, (66 Sullivan St Parking). Since we are in Chinatown, we are surrounded by lots of restaurants stores etc.
