  • Pinball HOF is awesome! I've heard about it this place a few times but never made an effort to visit it. The front of the building was plain and painted white with a parking lot for about 20-30 cars. It was a warehouse with 2 tinted doors at each end of the building & that is exactly how I remember some of the game rooms we frequented while growing up in Hawaii. As we pushed open the tinted glass door, I expected to catch a whiff of cigar or cigarette smoke, but instead we were greeted with the fresh aroma of popcorn from the popcorn vending machine positioned up front. Its not a plush place and I wouldn't want it any other way. After a few more steps past the popcorn machine you're eyes are in overdrive not being able to focus on a single pinball machine.There were rows and rows of pinball machines (about 6 rows with about 10-15 machines each) you could hear the dinging of bells and that distinct sound of the flippers in action, and of course that beautiful sound, the loud bang or "KNOCK," which means you're awarded for your pinball wizardry or you just got lucky on the match. Its also good that they didn't have music blaring over their system, if there was any I didn't hear it. We didn't play all the pinball machines but our favorites of the day were, Austin Powers (many free games on this one), Terminator, KISS, Indiana Jones, and we really liked the South Park pinball. We also discovered another treasure in this warehouse, we found some of the best video games of all time lined up on the back wall. Space Invaders, Tron, Galaga, Dig Dug, Qbert, Super Mario Bros, and Joust to name a few. My son & nephews had no idea that the 2010 Tron movie is a re-make until i told them. And that answered their question of "Why was the video game graphics so crappy?" HAHAHA! it was a blast to the past for me. We exchanged $25.00 to quarters and we went to town. 2.5 hours later the kids were satisfied and we still had a bunch of quarters left over for the next time. It was extremely satisfying to hear "That place was AWESOME!" especially from my teenage nephew, as well as from my son & other nephew both under 12. Can you imagine that...I got mad props from kids who are growing up in a time where touch screens & digital graphics are the norm. And just between you and me...for those 2.5 hours it was great to actually be a kid again. Aloha
