Doubt Quirkeys in Dublin have it, they seem to be getting rid of theirs but I could be wrong.

Anyway:

Can anyone confirm this? If so I am going there NOW. Finished work for Chrimbo 2 mins ago!

Pyongyang · 23-12-2011, 12:24

Anyone? If not it'll have to wait until next year.

Ring them?

Pyongyang · 23-12-2011, 12:37

No phone number on their site. I'm heading in to town-ish later so may stop by then. Couldn't be arsed with the lengthy walk just to find they don't have it.

Dying for a go though, it's some table.

Surely they have a contact number, try 11811

Pyongyang · 23-12-2011, 12:44

The only contact number they probably have is the mobile number of one of those rum characters that hangs around outside the place.

I wanna play pinball, not buy a gram of Charles n Eddie!

I do miss GOOD pinball machines!! (From the 80s -- NOT THESE NEW TRASH MACHINES I HAVE SEEN!! (Most are way too electronic and crappy for my liking))

Quirkies still have Rolling Stones and Big Buck Hunter. Was in there a week ago. Seapoint have Tron and Big Buck Hunter pinball was there a week and a half ago.

They've got Hopping Road now as well. Not a particularly sophisticated game but a bit of an unusual curio.

I notice oldschool mechanical games are kind of becoming popular again. All the kiddy gambling/redemption stuff in there is in that style now. It's like going back to the 70's.

I got the official word from that gaf in Galway today regarding what happened to the Tron pinball machine. As follows:

Quote:

Hi Mr. Jong-un,

We were having technical issues with this machine so it was returned to the supplier, it will not be returned.

Kind regards,

Seapoint Leisure
Salthill, Galway, Ireland.
Telephone: 00 353 91 521716

So, there you have it. Galway won't be seeing that table again. Good job I didn't go out of my way to stop off there and see if they had it.

Can anyone confirm if Dr. Mario Balotelli's in Dublin has it?

cgarrad · 02-01-2012, 13:30

Shame, good table.

Is Dr. Mario Balotelli's an actual place, never heard of it ;-)

Anyway two second hand Sterns in Dublin Airport past security in T1 just before the new Loop shopping area.

Off as it was a 6.00 am flight. The guy turned them on just after the photo and said they were played from morning till night the few days they were there.

Avatar and Ironman

Assume those are the two tables used be in Quirkies. I loved Iron Man, great looking table with excellent sound effects. Avatar was quite an annoying table in my experience but maybe I just didn't spend enough time with it.

What's Dr. Mariotelli's? Was in Quirkies a couple of days ago and still just Big Buck Hunter and Rolling Stones.

Answered your own question there guv.

I'm assuming Mario Balotelli's didn't get Tron in then? Argh! Guess we've as much chance of seeing it in Ireland as seeing Darius Burst AC EX in Dr. Mario Balotelli's too.

Shapey Fiend · 04-01-2012, 19:06

They have Darius Burst in Goodge St. Casino in London. Really enjoyed it but you 'd need to spend a bit of time with it or have practiced the PSP version because the game mechanics take a bit of practice.

Pyongyang · 05-01-2012, 08:35

That's on my 'to do' list for 2012. I must get over to London at some point and give Darius Burst a good seeing to. Fnarr fnarr!
