Just reading about the Scottish Pinball Expo 2012 and with them having 19 pinballs available, it just made me appreciate living in North America. While pinball is still on the decline, we still live a good area and pinballs stills abound.


For anyone interested in the article:

And there is also the Belgian Open 2012 (with 41 machines). Belgium seems like a decent place for Pinball. I was seriously looking at the logistics of importing a pinball from there a few years ago.

That is cool!
Needs some dots, but pretty nice re-theme. I'm assumign it's using a P-ROC?

Seeing that Matrix retheme makes me really miss my JM for the linking combos and fast orbits/ramps. It is a P-roc no doubt and re-themed by the created of it actually.

Thanks MB .. cool read ... 19 machines and 3 were NBAFB's ouch .. as someone previously stated we are very lucky to have the variety and number of machines here that we have.

Still a good start and I hope it grows ...

Being "The Home of the NBA Challenge" is just one step below being "The Home of the Popeye Challenge". Kudos to them for keeping the dream alive though.

Being Scotish and stereotypically cheap myself, I can make this joke: That bloke in the kilt and ponytail won first place by default, he was the only Scotsman they could find at the tourney that didn't have his coins sewn into his kilt pockets.

Actually if they linked those NBA's together it would be pretty cool as the entire dynamic of the game changes when they are linked, and the game becomes much more fun.

I think a kilt is about the best pinball outer wear you can get, all the freedom. I got married in a kilt so am speaking from experience.
