Pinball in Oslo

[Sgt GrizZ]

Visited Tilt bar in Oslo earlier tonight.
Good space on 3 levels - great selection of good beer.
Pins from memory included MM, MB, TAF, Wh20, STTNG, FT, SS and others plus a load of new Sterns , mostly Premiums I think inc Elvira, Foo Fighters
Some old skool vids - Donkey Kong, Pac Man , Rare Ice Cold Beer
Also some tabletop/cocktail arcades in the booth seating in bar area, which was a nice touch - Dig Dug, Space Invaders etc
Some multi player driving games , and couple dance machines - dunno what as have no interest.

Didn’t play any of the pins - but they looked ok.
Had fun playing shuffleboard though

Ice Cold Beer is great. Very addictive. Not really into arcades but I’d love one. It was remade but I’d want an original.

Ice Cold Beer skill game - Pinball Heaven

Mechanical arcade game originally created in the 1980’s and recreated today by MC Global Games. Two joysticks on the control panel control the height of the two ends of a metal bar that moves up and down the playfield and a metal ball rolling back and forth on the bar. It is up to you to...

yeah i agree, that remake looks terrible - why oh why oh why did they change the playfield colour to all yellow?
The Taito original looks way better with those cool colour stripes and the lady in the Victorian dress instead of the rebrand with an Oktoberfest girl instead

No.

Didn’t play any pins either …. mojo truly MIA - I do wonder why I went there

Did enjoy some games of shuffleboard

And there is a great food / beer court kind of funky warehouse setup on the adjacent street. Oslo Street Food.

awesome tune there Chris, although about 2 mins too long for me.
the video was spectacular, especially the dancing from about 4m45s on where they form a circle and someone fabulous does a trick.
looking forward to catching up with you before too long buddy

Yeah I've heard. Met some guys from Norway about 8 years at the IoM TT and they couldnt believe how cheap everything there was.

We went to Rotterdam this year which wasnt that cheap either, I think we were paying about 5 Euro for what was essentially a half pint.
