Chinatown's #1 attraction after buying duck heads
I probably would have liked it more had I not first experienced the Pacific Pinball Museum in Oakland first, which has almost double the games, and a little plaque for each game, saying things ranging from evolutionary ("This is the first pinball game women were allowed to play") to trivial ("This Addams Family Values pinball machine got better reviews than the movie") to overly technical ("This Megatron PInbot game the first pinball game to have dual spring cumber batches").
Games of note (with Pinside rankings):
#1 Godzilla (one of 1000). It was my wife's favorite even though she is Asian. This machine had the biggest wait.
#4. Attack From Mars Remake (2017).
#10 Guns N Roses. (2020).
#11 Twilight Zone (1993). With a potential 6-multiball, you'll lose your head!
#13 Metallica (for which Pacific charged extra). If you're a metalhead nothing else matters.
#14 Lord of the Rings (2009).
#16 Stranger Things (2019)
#21 Willy Wonka (2019).
#26 Dialed in (2017).
#36 Ghostbusters (2016).
#39 TMNT (2020).
#46 Creature of Black Lagoon (1992).
#47 Star Wars (2017).
#48 Funhouse (1990), similar to Comet and Cyclone- for some reason the local 7-11s always had a fair-themed pinball.
#53 Total Nuclear Annihilation (2017).
#65. Revenge From Mars (1999), the first to use video.
#110 Black Hole (the first to charge 50 cents, making it the highest-grossing game of 1981), the first pinball with a lower playfield viewable from the top, like a basement with a glass ceiling. The game makes an appearance in the movie "Strange Brew"
#335. Rolling Stones (2011), with an annoying Mick Jagger that struts around, getting in the way.
Plus, they had a few non-pinball games. I managed to get high score on Sea Wolf (basically Atari's Air Sea Battle with a periscope), which was somehow the highest-grossing arcade game in 1976.
I was bummed because they didn't have my favorites: #254 Alien-ripoff Space Invaders from 1980, #78 Pinbot and #94 High Speed from 1986 (the ones I probably played the most in high school), and #137 moaning Xenon game from 1980 ("first pinball to require a third sock").
