Long days at work these days. So, last night, after getting home at 8pm, I turned on the games and played for a couple of hours. I managed 107500 on Wizard of Wor. The Pit got me. I got hammered on Mouse Trap. LOL And then I turned on the Colecovision and played Pepper II.

Brain switched off for a while. LOL

I do need to clean up the basement and organize. I have been procrastinating.
FLIPPERS, JOYSTICKS & ELBOWS UP!

Most likely a recent Stern game, like Godzilla or King Kong. Stacking some cash for it, ATM :)

Can't go wrong with GZ :D

Seems like a pinhead fave. Not familiar enough with KK to have an opinion.

JAWS is pretty approachable too. Shots are not too difficult. Depends if the theme fits.

Yes Jaws is also a good option but with my future budget, I am targetting a pro. And there are too many cuts in the Jaws pro :/

I could find some by moving one arcade machine. I have used the Pinball FX VR game on my VR headset to test if it was possible to do :)

Team-building activities with the job, first we did an escape room, after we stopped at Funhub Dix-10 big arcades place. I bought an 1 hour unlimited card, played a few race games but found a partner for a gun games... made a lot of fun. Try another version of Stranger Thing pinball... still don't like it. I try to play John Wick, but the machine feed two to three balls each time so nearly unplayable :(
