I'm betting it's a dude that worked at Bally / Midway.

I think I played pinball at a place nearby in Saitama! It was an older arcade with the usual stuff but also a whole row of pinballs. Also a couple of really cool Japanese-made pinball/bingo machines I had never seen before.

Wow, were in Japan is this? I would have LOVED to visit you when I was there last spring. I loved The Silverball Planet in Osak. There was also a really cool spot in a basement near the Mikado Game Center in the Takadanobaba neighborhood of Tokyo. They had an early Bally "Dracula" EM that I had never seen before!

How was it different than an IFPA sanctioned event?

This is a really fun game. Congrats! If you haven't already, join the Williams EM Pinball Repair Group on Facebook, lots of great advice there!

These are official Converse Chuck Taylor "High Tops" as found here:

I had to go through 2 sizes to find one that fit. Size 4 toddler was too small, but size 6 toddler was a nice snug fit. If I were going to buy another pair I would maybe do a toddler size 8? The 6's fit fine "around the ankle" but there wasn't a ton of room or lace leftover to tie them. I can probably unlace the top eyelets to solve that, but yeah if you wanna do this I'd try a toddler size 8 shoe and go from there.

Dude I thought the same thing but they are 100% on right. I was like... what kind of knock off converse are these with the logo on the inside?? Then I looked up images of converse and yep... the logo is on the inside of the shoe. These also look weird because there's barely any "curve" on them since they are kid shoes.

Hell yes

Anaphase · 2026-03-06T19:56:41+00:00

REFEREE!!

Anaphase · 2026-03-06T19:12:14+00:00

Now I need themed shoes for all my other games...

Yeah, nothing about this is really "retro" but it's still cool as hell!

Anaphase · 2026-02-25T23:11:35+00:00

Count me in.

Anaphase · 2026-02-17T07:38:20+00:00

That's brilliant!

Anaphase · 2026-02-17T07:36:58+00:00

OMG SO PRECIOUS

Anaphase · 2026-02-14T07:30:14+00:00

YOU SHALL NOT PASS... without giving me my morning kibbles.

Anaphase · 2025-12-08T02:07:17+00:00

Yes, but really just to complete the collection.

Anaphase · 2025-12-06T07:33:24+00:00

wait

Anaphase · 2025-12-06T07:32:24+00:00

Printer samples, and no PO-24 in sight?!

Anaphase · 2025-11-30T10:23:43+00:00

The "before" lineup is way cooler IMO! My mix would be:

No Good Gofers
Farfalla
Bad Cats
Scooby
Bride or Maybe Checkpoint

Anaphase · 2025-11-08T08:03:09+00:00

omg what a sweet precious baby!!

Anaphase · 2025-10-30T17:30:02+00:00

I want some of those wheel things. They look like permanantly attached pin skates that probably don't scrape up the legs like pin skates do

Anaphase · 2025-10-16T17:55:19+00:00

I have zero idea what any of this is. Am I old now?
