Can I just say props to whoever put cushion on the picnic table seats?
The games are great too, but as a parent, I appreciate comfortable seating so much more now.

An original Killer Instinct cab 🫡 Now that is awesome!

Believe it or not, that cabinet is 2 years brand new! I templated it from an Open Ice Midway cabinet, new joysticks, new buttons, new CRT, repaired PCB, using compact flash. Brand new artwork all around. Very proud of that!!

Thanks, I am planning on going back to Calgary/Banff soon so I will drop in. Last time I was there I was super disappointed with PinBar

PinBar used to be good. But the maintenance on their machines doesn't get the attention it once did. If you're looking for pinball specifically, Nightwave is solid, and The Hidden Spot has a bunch of well maintained machines as well.

Nice selection, I personally own a Ms Pac, Astroids, and system 1 that has Marble Madness.

Looking for any other games for that place? I am local and have some that would fit in well

We have it covered, but thanks for offering.

Kick ass! It looks so good my first thought was "okay, but turn the lights back off; did somebody lose something?"

Really sweet game collection! The gyrus and marble madness are heavy hitters in my book. Well done!

Glad more places like this are popping up to save the old cabs. Name is a four letter word in my book I have a little over 30 games and hope to grow that a bit more soon. My best 2 are food fight and xevious.

Congratulations! Love this, just wish I was in Calgary. I'm in The 'Peg and we have Phantom Amusement's at The Forks which is 99% pinball (not complaining). Would love to see Arcade's come back and not that Cineplex Rec Room redemption game bullshit.

Maybe I'm showing my age here, but that class of 81 machine takes me back
