Pinball wizard arcade pelham nh5/19/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() As some of you who have been reading my posts know,I got the chance to visit for the first time The Pinball Wizard Arcade over in Pelham,NH. The good reputation that it has as an excellent place to play pinball is well deserved. (Sci-Fi Journal,if you'd like to know more.) I went that day on the chance that my scheduled trip up there the following weekend to shoot a segment for my cable access show. Well,not only was I able to do that,but my wife and I spent the weekend in the lovely Lakes Region of New Hampshire - which also happens to have one of the biggest arcades on the planet - the legendary Funspot. While my wife & I had a great time during our mini vacation,the gaming & pinball portion of it was somewhat of an eye opener to me. The following is my story of how events unfolded. I can't say enough good things about The Pinball Wizard Arcade. To have a place like PWA within two hours driving distance of home is just incredible. Anyways, my crew & I arrived there Saturday morning and we got some playtime in before we started filming my segment. John is a "pinball wizard" - and the owner of the PWA. ![]() The tables there are from her personal collection,which is incredible in and of itself. She is very passionate about pinball,and also her arcade - I could tell how proud she was of TPWA during her interview. (This became more appreant to me over the course of the weekend,but more on that later) I pointed out that - to me,anyways.while I love the quantity of the selection of games there - that it is really the quality condition of TPWA that really stands out. There's a new pinball arcade opening in Pelham, NH, next to Chunky's. I can't begin to tell you how long it's been since I've seen so many machines in good working order. Now,most of these machines are well over 15 years old-so there were a few not working.(TPWA has a proto WOZ that isn't working properly - that was my biggest disappointment)But overall,still an A+ in my book. I'm making it a point to try pins that I haven't played before - and my goal is eventually to play every table at TPWA. As an example,my first trip there,the Indy WMS table malfunctioned while I was playing it. I got my tokens back,and Sarah had it fixed and running again within ten minutes. ![]()
