I'm up for heading along to this (if I can find an easyish way to get there as I don't drive)

I'd love to have a go on 'Revenge From Mars' again

Wee update from the facebook page:


a wee update on all the info we have.

we have at the monent approx 22 pinball pledges and about 12 candies, with hopefully 28 wooden cabs. i will be contacting all pledgers in the next week or so to arrange uplifts of the pledged cabs. we would like 30 pinballs im still rounding up cabs, so its not too late to pledge them.

for our english freinds, the heavy on tap is john smiths, a good pint im told lager wise its tennents, carling, stella and i think carlsberg.


we have got the software and a projector for the scoring nope its not me handling this cosine "mike" is helping out on the software thank feck and malc from schmups.com is supplying the projector

there will be competitions all weekend i8ncluding "the NBA fastbreak tournament this is 2 pinballs linked for head to head action. its a very fast paced game of pinball, high octane stuff. no limit to the number of balls you use, if your ball goes out of play, it is sent back into the game, think basketball using a pinball table to play. a major thanks to "northern lights pinball" for bringing this to scotland, its a first for us up here, well worth an entry. anybody can win this comp

the scottish pinball open, this will be held over 2 days. entry is free, but you must register on the saturday for this. on satrurday all players will take 1 credit each on 4 pre-selected pinballs. the top 8 players will play in a final heat on sunday with the top 3 getting awarded trophys. the tables for both days will be drawn from a hat, each table considered viable will be given a number and placed in the draw, an independant person will make the draw.

for the video heads, we will hopefully be hosting a classic high score competition. i need to price things but at the moment its looking like "the jammaplus classic" this will be much the same as above. we will also be doing 1 or more high score competitions with a buy in yes indeedy this will cost you 100 yen or maybe 50 yen, it depends on the slot each credit will cost you 50 new pence, at the end of the day the highest score wins the money will be split 30/70 with the 30% going to charity im not saying anything about these games, but we might need to bat grobda from them these comps will be run over both days. so if you fancy yourself as a "bit of a player" this is your chance to make some cashback

we will be having a piper to play out the prizes and hopefully some media coverage too, so comb your hair.

Just back from a spiffing afternoon at this. There was about 20 cabs and the same again with pintables. There was also a very small selection of console and computers to play. Cracking getting to play Robotron, Centipede and Defender the way they were intended. Here's hoping this becomes an annual thing.

Was the bird in question the pretty little Gothy one?

I did spot one of your models beside her when she was playing the NES. So what lucky person won my Galaxy Invader?
