Bay Area Pinball: TJ Beyer brings the jam!
TJ Beyer, one of the guys behind California Extreme, hosted another of his awesome pinball parties.
The theme was Nachos, and nachos were had in abundance.
Then we played some pinball, some ultra rare Kingpin and Varkon, courtesy of TJ’s collection. A few more A-listers like Arabian Knights, but you get the idea.
Then we all hit TJ’s latest location: Vitus at 2nd and Broadway. NBA Fastbreak, Scared Stiff, and Lord of the Rings.
And we played till it closed. Somebody cracked 40M to take my high score on Scared Stiff. Grrr!! That won’t last long!

PPE 2011 Tournament: When the Bullet Hit the Bone!
Another Pacific Pinball Exposition has come and gone. Phew! It kicked my ass! There were 44 competitors in the Open event, 59 in the Classics, 41 in Novice, and 13 in Kids, for a grand total of 157 entrants. That’s more than double anything I’ve ever run before. It hit me like a cannon ball and I felt like I was in the Twilight Zone.
Multi-world champion Keith Elwin also ran a Pin Tac Toe tournament on Friday which had over 30 players. Keith, it should be mentioned, also ran the tournament the last couple years. His skills are legendary.
Here’s a look at the tournament area. Dave Baach, my co-organizer, quickly realized the overhead track lighting could add some awesome to the tournament. The position of the lights didn’t create glare on the games and made for an excellent atmosphere. We ran with it.
Here’s Dave Baach and I, the tournament organizers. Dave is an exceptional tech, cool guy, great organizer and lent me his hotel room to shower when the water was shut off in my neighborhood on Saturday.
Special Guests: The Special Force Girls. Jamie George, Molly Atkinson, and Molly Reismann. Molly Reismann won the masks in Friday’s raffle and was probably the only one to put in tickets!
Nick Fitzpatrick was our first champion of the show, taking 1st in Kids Division! Way to go, Nick! Nick is getting good, folks. Look for him in future tournaments and prepare to get beat by a kid.
Local BAPA league member Walter Hurwitz destroying Centaur. He destroyed it pretty good, too.
This is a face of determination. Nate from Portland stepped up to run most of the novice finals when I had to leave to go run my “How to Play Pinball like the Pros” seminar. He ran it like a CHAMP! When I came back he just said, “No worries, we’ve got it.” And gat dayam he did. Top tier, this man, and I think he might have got bit by the tourney bug and Portlanders may be seeing some more tourney leadership from this guy.
1st in Novice: Per Schwarzenberger
Still looking for the score sheet for the rest! Sorry guys. Send me your names!
Handing out plaques for the Novice Winners.
Julie Gray defends the American Way on Special Force. Josh Lehan informed me the Special Force backglass was so unpopular in Europe that they created an alternate Euro backglass: “Special Force Girls“.
Stephan Colleredo showed solid EM skills and was an unknown. He was 2nd overall qualifier and showed you can show up from out of nowhere and do some damage.
Johnny Modica took 3rd in Classics with solid play, and he’s a fun guy to boot!
Bob Matthews showed great focus and an old school play style using a minimum of fancy flipper moves but magic prediction and reaction skills. Bob is all class. Super respect.
Andrei Massenkoff, the Bay Area phenom who recently won the PAPA World Championship, took first in Classics. Always a good guy, super-competitive, just too cool. Congrats Andrei!
In Open, Karl DeAngelo took 4th, but that was partly because he had to leave after game 1 to catch a flight. Very solid player. You don’t want to be on the opposite end of this guy in a game of pinball.
Cayle George, the IFPA Champion, took 3rd with solid, technical play. Super methodical, technical player that sees all the lights and opportunities. Nothing gets by this guy.
No surprise to see Keith Elwin in the Final Four. Keith took 2nd. Keith also ran Pin Tac Toe. Just a natural at pinball. No nonsense play, clinical, seemingly detached. Yet, an understated guy who often leaves a clutch game with sweat on his brow – you know he’s giving it 100 percent.
The big surprise at this tournament was a man named Kevin Martin. Kevin is the guy who produces the PAPA World Championships, Cupid and Canines, and most recently, the Pinburgh Match Play for All event. As producer, he chooses not to play in his events.
Before I say further, Kevin made a GIANT contribution to the prize pot and also provided the PAPA software for the tournament.
Kevin came into the Finals as the 12th seed (of 16), meaning he had to claw all the way through the ranks. In the Quarter and Semi Finals he was usually in bad position for choice of Game or Order in all his matches. Didn’t matter, he found a place for himself in the Final four by just killing fools left and right!
In the Final at game 3, with Karl out of the mix and fatigue setting in, Kevin found himself a trailing distant third. Only a three-way tie could keep him in the running on the last game. It was starting to look like his skills and karma had worn out their welcome.
But BANG Kevin started Multi and racked a Jackpot on the open to differentiate himself from his assails and the two others could not produce in convincing fashion. A little luck and his competitors finishing one-two to make the whole event tied on points pushed the matter to sudden death.
The bullet hit the bone.
And now one game to decide everything.
With scores tied, a coin was flipped. Came up Capcom Airborne. Kevin was the highest scorer in qualifiers on this game and was now, for the first (and only) time in his Finals run, in a dominant position. He didn’t squander it. He stepped up and capitalized, ruled the skies, took home top honors!
Kevin Martin has long been known to have the SHOW. But on Sunday, September 25th, he also proved without question, he also has the GO.
KEVIN MARTIN HAS WON THE OPEN DIVISION OF THE PACIFIC PINBALL OPEN!! GRAND CHAMPION!! HUGE CONGRATS TO KEVIN MARTIN!!

Pin Tac Toe winners:
1st: Josh Lehan, Josh Warren & Jeannie Rodriguez (won $140)
2nd: Bob Matthews, Todd Seaver & Warren ? (don’t seem to have
his name)
3rd Place was Cayle, Andrei & Tim Hansen (Tim had to leave
so they just plunged his turns).
Andrei, Cayle and Tim were the favored, however, since Tim had to bow out, his teammates had to plunge his balls and pray. Word at the tournament was that Jeannie Rodriguez was the franchise player of the winning team, and the main reason they went on to victory.

“I never drink… wine.” PAPA’s Dracula tutorial
Bram Stoker’s Dracula is one of the toughest games to come out of the 90s. It uses lightning flippers which are 1/8″ inch shorter than usual, creating a 1/4″ wider center drain. This might seem like not much but it makes a huge difference. In addition, when you launch the ball it feeds into the pop bumpers so you can expect to get at least one house ball each game.
But it gets worse. The Castle ramp, a key ramp in the game, will return weak shots out-of control at best, or fling them right down the middle at worst. The Coffin Ramp, once open, feeds into the pop bumpers for more out-of-control fun, and shooting the Castle lock targets in anything other than multi-ball is asking to be punished. The game is brutal.
Why play it? Because it is also one of the most satisfying games if you can tame it. The goal is to stack all three multiballs, an incredibly difficult task but the points can be face-melting if you do. This is one of those games where if you really get rolling, people will stop what they’re doing and start watching.
The fine folks at PAPA have provided yet another excellent tutorial showing what it takes to deal with the hordes of the undead that will otherwise send you back to the token machine like a dazed zombie. “Quuuaaaarrrrterss….”
More PPE setup pics
Some more Pacific Pinball Exposition set up pics. Last night, after a brief stop at the warehouse and some work on the tournament plaques, I went into the museum. The crowd was nice for a Friday night. Lots of woodrail and EM play last night, and the modern room was packed as usual.
A vintage coin-op in the warehouse. This one was especially popular with Federal Law Enforcement. Should they leave the sticker or take it off?
Back at the Museum. Don’t be a flipper chimp!
Some Silver Sails goodness for you Bingo fans. PPM has two Bingos on display. “For Amusement Only”, of course. Chris Nash almost got the four corners. Later he racked up 192 credits.
One of the bingos currently on display at PPM was seized by the Alameda Police Department in the old days of pinball’s sketchy past.
Some early history greets visitors when they first walk in to the Museum.
In addition to these “firsts” games, which are on display only, there’s a playable Humpty Dumpty in the woodrail row.
Ballyhoo!
PPM also pays a lot of tribute to classic coin-op. So much more character to these early games. The puck bowler is great fun but breaks down a lot.
AARRRRGGHH. This game is fun to play and you get clown nightmares to boot!
Current PAPA World Champion Andrei Massenkoff entertained spectators on Tron last night. I was testing a fix, and handed the game over to him on ball 3 with only a million points. He ran it up to 113M on the last ball as the museum was closing. On just one ball! I guess that’s why he’s the world champ.
Here is my latest Ironman modification. For some reason this was not embraced and I was told to remove it.
Ed and Dan, two PPM artists, talk strategy on how the murals will be set up for the show.
Mike Schiess is a big lover of juke boxes. The one on the right is the one typically playing on fix-it nights. A few of the records are “productivity music” – music to encourage productivity! (Oddly enough it does, and gets you a working mood.) It also plays newer records, but at a reduced speed. Everything sounds like Pink Floyd.
Eric Koss has been helping with the mural prep and recently finished an eye-popping Out of Site which will be on display at the Exposition.
Chris Nash deals with some flipper issues on Special Force. A lot of shortcut hacks have made this one particularly explicative-inducing.
Art, history and game strategy
From the Crazy Flipper Fingers message board:
Been meaning to share this for a bit. This summer I did a multimedia journalism workshop at U.C. Berkeley. We were assigned stories to go out and practice the skills we were learning. Anyhow, during a previous workshop a team had been assigned to profile the Pacific Pinball Museum. Here’s the final product, with some good videos, slideshows and an attempt at a flash “Anatomy of a pinball machine” diagram (it’s rough, but keep in mind it was likely made by someone designing in flash for the first time ever).

The biggest pinball show in the world is coming at you in just two weeks, September 23rd through the 25th in Marin. Last year there were 400+ machines, so big it pushed the seminars into the adjacent hotel. You can expect the same kind of overwhelming Pinball excess this year.
The prep started months ago and now the the crew is working full-out to get the latest games ship shape and ready for action.
Even with a warehouse, the situation is jam-packed!
