Charlie Emery runs Spooky Pinball.
Playing as a kid in the late 70’s and completely got hooked in the solid state era.
Firepower II…. because it was available for sale and I couldn’t wait to own a game. Still have it.
Achievement… us building Spooky Pinball up with faith and hard work from friends and customers. Favorite pinball moment… winning an “A Division” 2 man team competition with my 12 year old son,
Favorite game… obvious answer is Alice Cooper but you’ll have to judge for yourself if I’m biased! Least favorite… the clunkiest E.M game I ever played I had fun on, so ??? It’s pinball. You either love it or you don’t.
Godzilla… classic TOHO style!
In 20 plus years, hard to single one out. Had a game smash me in the ear once, and of course I’ve fried chips working with the game on like a rookie (even when I wasn’t!).
HARD!
After watching it almost die a few years ago and being a small part of the resurgence now, I hope the growth continues as the next generation comes in. It’s time to celebrate the heroes that got us here, and embrace the new talent that will lead us forward. Pinball needs new rock stars!!! I think in 5 to 10 years, you’ll see that transition.
