Pinball Hall of Fame

When I was a kid (yeah, we're talking ancient history), there were no digital video games. There were board games like Monopoly and outdoor games like the incredibly dangerous Dodge Ball but the closest we came to first person action games were pinball machines. I still remember playing them in the arcades at Myrtle Beach.

In a nondescript building on Tropicana Avenue east of the strip is the Pinball Hall of Fame where you can play over 300 machines from the very old to the very new...





I spoke with one of the owners and learned that they have over 1100 pinball machines in their collection and have purchased property on the south end of the strip where they are planning to move in 2020.
